Thank you for your reply. If I may ask, does CBP write/note down our answers to their questions anywhere when they look at their computer screens? As I am mainly worried about whether me being in the US for a long time will affect how my K1 interview goes..

Well yes essentially.. As I am from what the US deems as a 3rd world country, if I'm honest about wanting to be with my fiancé for 3 months, I just fear they will outright deny me entry just because of my duration of stay - thus me purchasing a shorter visit ticket, but planning to change it after.

Full transparency, I am planning to visit my fiancé for long, about 4-5 months as I already have a B1/B2 visa. I have a full time job right now, and plan to get a letter of employment from my company before I quit, so I can show CBP the letter as proof of ties to my country. I'm planning to buy a full flex plane ticket which will state that I'll be visiting for 2 weeks (also going to tell CBP officer 2 weeks if they ask duration of stay), but once I've entered, I'm going to refund the return ticket and just get a new one once I'm ready to go back after a few months. Just wondering if what I plan to do is dangerous in any way? Everything I'm doing is technically legal.. I'm just afraid come time for my actual K1 visa interview, I will be questioned on why I was in the US for so long.... even though there shouldn't be anything wrong with that in the first place since I just want to be with my fiancé. But will it come off really suspicious to the consular office during my K1 interview? Would just like to know if that will be affected in any way... any replies and advice will be much appreciated please!! My fiancé has a stable job so money isn't a cause of concern and I am able to be unemployed btw.. which is why I'm planning to quit my job after I have obtained letter of employment as proof.

Well in my own experience, I was nervous about them asking who I was visiting too, but the question never came up. The officer only asked me what is my purpose of visit, i said visiting. Where am I staying, i answered the name of the hotel we stayed at. Also, definitely DEFINITELY get a letter of employment from your workplace's HR department. This helped calm my nerves a lot when passing through CBP. Even though they didnt even ask to see it, I felt prepared and a lot less anxious if it were to come up. And if they do ask who youre visiting, I'd suggest to just be honest about it.
