hey again everyone........................finding out today our interview maybe another 6 month wait. do we have option of sending our file to vancouver? Another ?????????, now that everything is approved and all forms are received by montreal and while we are waiting on pack 4, CAN i visit my fiance NOW or do i still have to wait.

don't know about switching your interview. but you can visit your fiance, just make sure that you can show plenty of ties to Canada-lease/home, job, etc.

thanks, i had asked at one point but they said it would be my risk and plus it could delay process.................and dod you know how long i can visit for? i am trying to plan a wedding in the U.S and it is hard to do from here

there's always a risk but it wouldnt delay the process or hinder your chances of actually being approved for the visa

officially you can visit for 6 months, but I think you'll probably run into problems at the border if you try to go down for more than a month. that's just a guess. but if you go down longer than a month you'll probably have a hard time proving that you aren't trying to immigrate before you get your visa. The worst that could happen is that you'd be denied entry at the border. Being denied shouldn't affect your visa, just don't ever lie about it.

Even though my fiancee lives only four hours away I haven't went to visit her since last summer. I didn't want to get turned away and even if they let you in, I have heard that it causes an extended FBI check. I wanted to avoid that so just didn't bother going.

Huh. I wonder how true this is... several people from VJ seem to have gone to visit in the USA while their visas were processing without a problem. Some have been denied but that was because they didn't have sufficient evidence of ties to Canada...

did you visit withouit hassel? exactly what do i need to prove ties

My fiance lives 4 1/2 hours away and I go there every one to two weeks for the weekend and I've gone for vacations ect .. I've always been totally honest about where I'm going, who I'm going to see and what stage my application is at.

I carry all of my files for proof and also a letter from my employer, my pay stubs and my phone/cable bill. I have only been pulled over once (just after I received my NOA 2) and I didn't have all of my paperwork with me .. they just told me what to carry and sent me on my way.

Not once have I been denied entry ... POE is the Peace Bridge

how long am i allowed to stay for? and where is that POE...............i refuse to go through toroanto ever again///LOL

I have visited Lorry in WA. on 4 different occasions while the process was ongoing. I just came back on May 12 after being there for 2 1/2 months.
I had no problems at POE on any of the visits. Just the usual questions where you headed, for how long, ever been to the US prior and where.
I brought all my paper work with me along in case they had problems with anything regarding the Visa Petition. Just be honest don't tell em more than they ask info on

Good Luck

what is best POE.................like i said Toronto is unbearable!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean They're pretty stern in TO lol lol
3 of the 4 trips were through Toronto
The last one was through Halifax. A lot more pleasant and relaxed than Toronto

What do you mean Toronto is unbearable? where you refused to board a flight to the US at pearson? If you were denied boarding during PFI then you will have to carry more proof of ties to Canada like lease agreements, employment letter, paystubs, utility bills etc. Unless you have these there is a good chance you may be denied again (I am assuming that you were denied once, please let me know if I am incorrect in that assumption)

I visited every 3 weeks prior to and after getting married as well as while my K3 was being processed both at USCIS and the consulate.

I went through YYZ (Toronto airport) each time and was never really given any problems. In fact, the last time the officer wished me good luck at the interview (which was 2.5 weeks away from my last visit) and looked at me sympathetically when he said "it must suck to live apart". Was only asked specific questions about my K3 once and wasn't asked to provide any paperwork and was never pulled into secondary.

Always brought proof of ties: bank statements, apartment lease, letter from employer, pay stubs. Also brought my entire case file each time.

Flying through YVR to see my fiance was fine. The officer was nice, didn't ask about my K1, only got curious when I mentioned that I was visiting my fiance and asked a few questions about him. I only had to show my itinerary for proof (even though I brought more than that to prove ties) and that was that.

My fiancée and I travel back and forth all the time, as we live 7.5 miles away from each other. We never have a problem. Although, I, the US Citizen, was once pulled over into secondary and was given a visitor's record good for the weekend, and on the next time back over was to provide proof of ties to the US and that I don't live in Canada.

Ok... after reading your previous posts I see that you were denied entry on a TN and not as a tourist. You should be good to go visit as long as you carry your proof of ties to Canada with you. Good luck

I don't know. I have only heard that it is the case. I didn't want to take my chances though.



I'm glad it worked out good for you. I just didn't want to take a chance. Good luck on your interview.
