Hi all, I have a question about the correct way to deal with the question I2 if your fiance is currently in the US, complete the following and then it asks for details of I-94 Arrival/departure record. I entered the UD on a visitor's visa from Canada and don't require the I-94. I will be leaving within a couple of days of signing the paperwork. Does anyone think it might be a good idea to also attach a declaration to that effect so there is no suspicion that I will be staying in the country awaiting the approval of our K-1? I know the USCIS website states this is illegal, but it also state it is OK to visit under the North American agreements. Any comments or advice appreciated. We don't want to run afoul of something here.

Just put "none-Canadian visitor" for I-94. They know you won't stay in the country illegally while waiting for K-1 approval, because you have to go back to Canada for the interview anyway and if you overstayed you might not come back for a long time. Good luck.

We were in a similar situation. My fiance filed the petition while I was in the US visiting him (I returned to Canada a couple weeks after we got our NOA1). We answered "yes" to the question whether I was in the US. We put "Canadian citizen, no I-94 issued" in the section where the form asks for the I-94 number. We answered "n/a" in the section where it asks for the I-94 expiry. Our case hasn't been adjudicated yet, but this was this advice given to us by a VJ 'veteran'. Hope this helps!
