Does anyone know if I would have a better chance of crossing the border to get into the u.s. with my u.s. husband with me while my k-3 visa is pending. I didn't want to wait in Canada till my interview and I'm afraid of being denied entry if I try to cross by myself. What do you all think .... are my chances better crossing by myself or are they better if my u.s. husband flies up to Canada to get and then cross over with me.
Thank anyone who can give me alittle insite.

I cannot imagine a case where it would make a real difference actually. The main thing is that you show your intent to return to Canada. Bring a letter from your employer, proof of a lease/mortgage, etc - anything that shows your ties to Canada. Also, if you're flying, make sure you have your return ticket on hand or an e-mail print out if you do electronic ticket.

how long are you intending to stay?

Before I was married my wife had a 10 year multi entry visitor visa. She traveled twice to USA to visit me. 5/18/07 she traveled with me to USA and was denied entry in Seattle because she told the boarder patrol she was visiting her fiancee. I can not find in the law where she can not travel to visit as long a her intent is to return within the allowed time and does not work or receive social services form USA. She had a return ticket and never work and does not intend to work. To resolve the issue I had to return to Thailand get married and return file I130 and I129F. We are still waiting. Immigration has a very narrow view of the law and I can not understand what there problem might be but they have the power so dont enter while your case is being processed.

It is not good to hand out advice like this without considering the situation. A Canadian wanting to visit for a while is in a different situation than a woman from Thailand who does not have a job. It is certainly not against the law to visit. She was denied entry only because they did not believe she would not stay and try to adjust status. A Canadian coming in with a letter from an employer and a return ticket will be viewed as much less of a risk and should not have serious problems visiting while the case is being processed.

Many of us canucks (cant speak for other countries) have traveled to the USA while their k1, k3 or cr-1 was ongoing. I did it monthly and never had a problem. My longest stay was 3 weeks. yes some do get denied and not a big deal, as long as one tells the TRUTH!!! Lie and it could really hurt ya!! What it boils down to is the POE officer, he has the say in letting u in, or denying! Better to go with husband, or alone, hard to say, again comes down to the POE officer. One could make arguements for both cases. More important is having ties to canada to prove ur going back!! Keep in mind A Canadian can only stay up to 6 months (with POE officers approval) so keep that in mind. Best of luck

Thank you everyone.....your answers make alot of sense.
