Visiting USA. Fiancee Letter???

[K&E2009 71]

Hey,

So, I am visiting my American Fiancee in America (obviously ), in 3 weeks. Visiting on the Visa Waiver program.

I have read LOADS of pages about bringing 'strong ties', problem is I don't have 'strong ties'.

After thinking about it, I have decided to bring:

1. The Copy of the I-129F which is now in the hands of the good people at USCIS

2. A letter from an instructor saying that I am registered for a course here, in Ireland, in December.

3. A letter from my Fiancee...

Here's the thing, I don't know what she should put in the letter.

We were thinking:

To whom it may concern,

My name is ABC. I reside at DEF, 123, GHI, ... USA. My passport number is ###########. My social security number is #@#@#@#@.

I hereby state that, WIDSY97, is staying with my family and I at the above address for the duration of his stay (87 days) in the USA under the Visa Waiver Program.

If you have any questions please contact me on 555-1234567

When my husband would visit me on the VWP before we ever got married, he would bring like his lease agreement from his apartment and some bills to show he is currently living there. Do you have a job? If show you could prove you are working, have a place, and dont plan on giving that all up at all until your fiance visa is approved.

Job finished back in June. Living at home.

I do have quite a bit of savings in the bank though! Maybe a bank statement would help!?!

YOu can do all that but really as long as you have a return ticket and a home address to return to and copy of your 129 receipt you should be fine. They may not ask for 129 as they would,d not know so don't panic on that and you have to state where you are staying anyways on I-94w so that will have your fiancee's number and address on it. I visited my fiance also when we had 129 processing and I never had to show anything, was asked am I staying with -------- my now husband and I said yes and as I had been before they took 1 fingerprint and said welcome back Barbara have a nice holiday. I too was here for 87 days. You should be fine but you can bring the letter if you want from fiancee but hey anyone could write that, not really proof hey.

Yea also my husband never was asked to provided anything. But they did nag him the second time he cam on the vwp because he had just left the states 6 weeks before on the vwp and was again returning on the vwp for another 90 days.

I went from Dublin to Washington DC last month for 3 weeks and was not asked anything at all !

If you're flying direct to U.S. you can clear Immigration in Dublin Airport on any flights before 4pm, flights after that its done in U.S. , i'd recommend doing the POE in Dublin from my experience and what i've seen on here they ask less questions (or none at all in my case. Yipee!)

Maybe i was lucky but I was overprepared just in case. Had letter from my employer, payslips, bank statements, deeds to my apartment, copy of entire petition plus additional proof of relationship since posting petition.

In addition to what you have, definitely your bank statements showing savings would help.

Good luck !

I've visited my fiance 4 times in the last 16 months, I stayed 1 month, returned to the UK for 6, then flew back and stayed 3mths, came back to the UK for 3, flew back for 3 again, came back to the UK for 3, just returned now from another 3 month trip.

My fiance wrote such a letter, the gentleman at PoE didn't want to see it. I just explained that I had return tickets for August 6th and I was visiting to gain proof of our relationship to present at the Embassy back in England in accordance with our K1 Fiance Visa filing.

There is no guarantee that you'll be allowed in, you just got to hope you get a nice officer there. Take copies of bank statement if needed, a letter from him and proof of return tickets at a minimum, copy of your I-129F is a good thing to have too. I am in the same situation as you are, I have no job and I stay with my parents when I'm in the UK. So I can't show ties.

I hope all goes well for you~

Yes this is a tricky one.. my case was very similar to the above and just trying to return to spend more time with my (now) fiance. I was held up for 5 hours at immigration and allowed to stay but told to apply for a B visa next time. I was denied the B visa owing to lack of ties. I think it depends on who you are dealing with. I had proof of more than sufficient funds to support myself and being a freelance writer have no immediate employer. You can only chance it - there are no guarantees.

So far what I can see is that. Everyone HAS got in! Genuine people do get in, even if they have to wait around for 5 hours. I guess I just have to get myself in the mindset that, these people are there to stop those with intentions of staying. Not us, genuine people.

They have no reason to stop me! I'm not breaking the law.
