Bringing fiancée to USA to visit ONLY

(Sorry if wrong website or forum :D)

Hello! I'm an US citizen living in Mexico w/ my Mexican fiancée. We have lived together here since Jan. '09.

My question is about when we go together to visit my family in the US.

She has a valid 10 year B2 visa, and has visited the US on 3 occasions, each for only a few days.

I'm concerned about going through immigration at the airport together. We have no plans to ever get married in the US or to ever live there. We will only get married legally in Mexico. And this won't happen til next year. I plan on visiting my family at least 3 times in 2010 probably 4/5 days each trip.

Any suggestions on how to pass through airport immigration w/out a big mess? Do we both go through the US line together? We have plenty of documents showing we live together, her job pay stubs, bills, etc. I also have a FM3 Mexican residency visa, showing I live here.

I really don't know what to expect and hope someone help calms my fears.

Thankssssssss

You have nothing to worry about, and if asked, you should explain your living arrangement. As a party traveling together, you should stay together. I would choose the visitors lane as your fiancee is not a USC.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

This link has a list of things which can prove ties to a home country. Both of you should bring as much as you can on this list. Proving that YOU will return can be just as valuable to your side as proving SHE will return.

She definitely needs to go through the non-citizen/non-resident line. You can accompany her through that side of immigration.

She should definitely have a large amount of documentation ready to show her ties to Mexico and the fact that she will be returning to Mexico after her visit. The fact she has already been to the US before and returned well within the Visa windows will help her. But other documentation like return ticket information, letter from employer or class schedule, pay stubs, etc... will help.

Good luck
