Can fiance visit US with I-129F pending?

[bighousered 0]

Hi Everyone,

Is is okay for my Canadian fiance to visit me while we wait? For a couple of weeks? Would we be risking a petition denial? Is there a chance he would not be allowed into the US while we wait for the I-129F?

I filed the I-129F on Feb 6, 2008 and nothing else has happened. The CSC seems to be taking FOREVER! This process feels so isolating, but I am thrilled to have found you all for support!!

Thanks!

There is nothing against visiting. The problem is there is an increased chance that they won't let him in. He should bring whatever proof he has that he has to be back in Canada. And be prepared to be turned back . They will see the petition as intent to immigrate so he has to convince them that he doesn't intend on doing it yet.

Good luck

I went down for about 4 months while awaiting interview and had no problems. They just wanted to make sure that i had a return ticket and reason to come back to Canada. Just don't lie.

Yes you can definitely have visits while the visa is processing but like other have mentioned you need to show proof that he is going to back to Canada. So, a letter form his employer, a lease, other bills, and of course a return ticket. I've also read that it's good to carry all of the documents you have filed.

My bf and I intend to travel back and forth just as we normally do throughout the process.

Many of us have travelled back and forth without a problem. Check this link for info on how to assure a successful crossing: Visitation FAQ's

If he does get turned back for lack of proof of ties it will not impact the K-1 visa. It happens to a lot of people and the US Consulate is familiar with it.

Have a great visit.
