I just got the letter that our I-129F has been approved!!! Yay!! However, she has not gone to her interview yet. So we are in the stage between an approved I-129F and going to our (her) interview.

My fiancee is in Canada (the beneficiary) and I am in the states. I am going to visit her on Friday. When I go to see her, I fly into Buffalo. Can she cross the border to come pick me up without using the fiancee visa? Or should she not cross the border? Or are we not fully approved yet and have nothing to worry about?

My fear is that we will use our one time visa, and we do not want to use it yet...our wedding is planned for November. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Nope, no visa yet. You have to go to the interview and be approved to have the visa. Plus you actually get a physical piece of paper in the passport. As long as they let her in, she can come get you.

Your fiancee has not been issued a visa. The petition has simply been approved. Her visa will not be issued until after the interview. As long as she has proper documentation that will show strong ties to Canada then she should be able to cross the border to pick you up.

Good luck.

She hasn't been interviewed, a Fiance Visa hasn't been issued yet so she would not be using that one time entry.

Check out the Canada forum here on VJ, as well as VJ wiki Canada for some other information you might find useful. As long as your fiance has ties to Canada and brings them with her to the border, she can cross, the same as anyone. Others have answered about the fact she hasn't got the visa yet. But she CAN visit while the process is ongoing, did you know that?
