Hi,

just to let you know I am back in the USA again visiting my SO for valentines. This is third visit since applying for K-1 and second since NOA2. Again, no problems, I did get asked two questions this time, but the second question was after the left finger, right finger bit. Time at POE..hmmm about 90 secs.

I shall try my luck one more time. One week before the Interview!

What sorts of questions did they ask ya? Did you tell them you were on the K1? and just visiting while it was being approved?

I went to USA december 2005 and I got stopped and questioned - this is even before we started our k1 infact the last time i visited my boygfriend was 3 years prior, I got asked all sorts like how long you known him, are you here to get married, have you proof of going back to uk and ties to UK - I really didnt think I needed any proof as I had no problems before I just told the truth that we were thinking about marriage if we did we would go via the k1 route but this visit was just to see if we can still get along together. I am now worried that that short interview would be on record and if it would interfere with my next visit if I go before my k1 is approved. I got surprised by a proposal by my boyfriend on christmas eve and we did fill in our K1 paperwork while I was there but he has to wait for his paycheck to mail it out hopefully around 20 Feb it will go in the mail to nebraska.

I only gave them the information they asked for and I answered honestly and truthfully.

I walked up and said 'HI'

They asked 'What is the purpose' and I responded ' to visit my fiancee for Valentines, just for a week'

They then asked 'What do you do in the UK?' and I responded ' I work in IT'

That was it.

I said 'thankyou'

The guy at the POE scanned my passport, I have no idea what came up on the screen in front of him.

If he wanted to know about K-1 I would have answered honestly.

I have been asked all sorts of questions before...it depends on the mood of the officer! and that was also before the K-1 process.

If you got in after those questions there is nothing to worry about...

I had in my pocket: LEtter from Employer stating my job and need to be back in the UK, evidence of ties. I take these on each trip, but they have never had to come out of my pocket!
