Note to Consulate made

[Carlawarla 1]

They didn't stamp anything on her passport they just took her fingerprints. The guy also told her she could try again tomorrow if she wanted she just needed more ties.

Then, she was lucky with respect to a possible later entry to visit but it sounds like you don't know what was in the note to the Consulate. Lying to a CBP officer is a very bad idea.

What was noted was a card I had sent her with a bunch of lovey dovey stuff about the possibility of marriage and what not... She should've left it I know, but she's only a girl.

What the heck does that mean??

Just that I would've thrown the card away much with most of the other guys, but she decided to keep it and she still wants to keep it.

Maybe you should recommend that she keep it in Canada, since it clearly can cause problems.

As a cat owner, I can fully sympathize with your fiancee's desire to have her cats safely with her. They will likely continue to raise concerns at the border, however, so she needs to be prepared for that.

I just re-read your explanation, and have one more thought to add: if she was here for two months in June (leaving in August?) and then is now coming back with the intent to stay until January, she might have a really hard time convincing the guards that she's not abusing VWP. That's a long time to be in the US on a visitor's visa.

Canadians can stay up to 6 months and there is no "visa".
