    It is possible. 2 one month trips over a span of 4 months then returning to request another 2 month trip may cause CBP to question - how can you afford so much time off of work? What ties do you have to your home country? Are you able to support yourself while in the US in terms of cost of living, insurance, etc. What ties can you bring to support that you are NOT living in the US but only visiting? Good luck

    Excellent point, my question should have been if an FOIA was done with the correct agency. and yes, the initial filing is free but the fees can stack up for search time, translation time or copies. Sorry I wasn’t clear.

    If you are concerned about the fingerprint data, you could consider a Freedom of Information Act request. It is not a quick or cheap process but that my give you the answers you are seeking. Good luck

    That used to be the case, but not so much now. Montreal is also a notoriously slow consulate. Good luck

    Very similar situation happened with me (I'm the Canadian) and I was able to visit after the 2 port of entry denials. Feel free to message me privately. I second Boiler, go the spousal visa route. Good luck

    The B and J visa you are referencing are non immigrant visas. Meaning that the reason you want to go to the United States is not nearly as important as the reasons you must return to your country. So focus on that, what is preventing you from staying months in the United States? Good luck

    He is unable to work in the united states, in any capacity, while a tourist. Good luck

    I think Boiler means - what does your husband do where he can take so much time off to visit you. Good luck

    Dashinka - as always - provided excellent advice. I do wonder, however, if you are aware that you are unable to work in any capacity until you have your employment authorization document? I only ask because you mentioned at one point returning to NZ to work as long as possible. Good luck

    The most helpful would be ties to Canada. What is compelling her to return to Canada? A job that can only be performed in Canada? Attending classes? A mortgage? good luck

    Marijuana is still illegal federally and citizenship is federal process. I see USCIS issued a policy alert in April 2019 that states: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is issuing policy guidance in the USCIS Policy Manual to clarify that violation of federal controlled substance law, including for marijuana, remains a conditional bar to establishing good moral character (GMC) for naturalization even where that conduct would not be an offense under state law. Good luck

    Have you met yet - in person? And to answer your question - your chat logs are secondary evidence. There will be much more emphasis on being together, spending time in the same place - not how many times single words appear in your chats. Good luck.

    Take a look at the link below. Currently it says 184 days. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/wait-times.html Good luck

    This is such a bad idea. CBP are very well trained at detecting things like this. What if they call your employer to verify your employment? What if they see you have a 2 week trip booked and they limit your trip to 2 weeks? Then you must return home with no job? No one on here is going to condone or support your plan. I suggest you plan a trip for 2 weeks, return to your home county, continue to work until you move to the U.S. on your K-1 visa. Good luck

    She must answer the questions honestly, what do you have concerns about?

    It does happen. It happened to me. If you do a search on visa journey you can easily find stories. I do not mention this to scare you, but to prepare you. Only US citizens are guaranteed entry into the US. Good luck

    Hi, good afternoon Could you please give us some more details. What was the reason for the exclusion order - to the US or to Canada? How long ago? What country is this 'friend' originally from? Good luck

    I went through the student visa process for university. However, elementary and middle schools are different. Have you contacted the school (typically private) that the children will attend? Public schools do not offer F-1 visas so the private school should provide you with more information. Good luck

    Oh dear, you cannot tell people to stop posting, you read/reviewed the TOS right? I believe you are very skilled, I do not think it is acceptable to demand cases from a public site, when then are so many nuances involved. Good luck

    I'm sorry, but entrance to the US is never guaranteed for visitors. The CBP knows better and may have been trying to placate you. Please understand this important aspect. Out of curiosity, why did you overstay? Good luck
  21. canadian_wife
    You may want to post this in the Canada forum, maybe a moderator will move this!! good luck

    Sadly no, it is a long process to buckle up and start reading the entire process for Canadians. Like what will you do for health care once you move to the US? The only consulate that does visa interviews is Montreal - are you prepared for that travel? Do you have your long form birth certificate and vaccines updated? Good luck
  23. canadian_wife
    Montreal - as powerpuff said. If you put any other consulate you will be directed to Montreal. We put Toronto and they routed us to Montreal Good luck
  24. canadian_wife
    Curiosity is killing me, do you have the link? Good luck

    Canadians do not need a tourist visa. I was denied entry to the US twice, then admitted for a very short trip. But each situation is different. I do wish you luck - but do be prepared for another denial, as SalishSea already stated, no CO can 'wipe' the denial off the record. And if asked at interview #2, he must tell the truth.
