I (beneficiary) will be flying to visit my fiance (USC) in a few days, for 2 weeks. As this is the first time I've gone through customs alone, and the first time I've gone through customs at the airport (usually drive through) I was just wondering what to say. I know to only answer the questions asked, but if I need to, do I use the term "fiance" "boyfriend" "friend" I don't want to lie, I just don't want to raise any unnecessary red flags. Is there a huge difference between airport customs and land crossings? I don't have much in the way of proof of ties. I still haven't received my NOA1 and we filed on April 25th, I don't rent, and I don't have a mortgage. I do have a letter from my employer and a return ticket. Will this be sufficient?

Any suggestions would be great, I'm kind of stressed about this.

Thanks!

Since you have filed even though you don't have the receipt, if asked where you are going, give the name of the City. If they ask why you are going, respond "to visit with my fiance for 2 weeks. I'm returning on XXXX (date)." Tell the truth, be confident, look them directly in the eyes. You are not doing anything wrong and so don't act like you are :-). Bring with you what you have, including a copy of your application, if you have it. If you live at home you could even bring a letter from one or both of your parents saying that you live at home, are traveling for 2 weeks to visit your fiance and they are expecting you back on XXX (date). Make sure that you only pack enough clothes that are season appropriate to cover the 2 weeks. Don't bring a resume or anything like that:-). Good luck.

You should be fine with a letter from your employer and a return ticket. As Kathryn said, just be honest and say you're visiting your fiance for 2 weeks.

Beware a letter from your parents, it might look like the one from my mom , more of an eviction notice.

You'll be fine! Don't even stress. The airport customs is pretty decent.

The last time I went the one new question for me wsa "So who is moving where?" and I said "We're not sure yet" and he was like okay have a nice trip. Even though I'm moving there - I figured since we haven't even filed yet, he doesn't need to know yet.
