DO I NEED TO ENTER THE US WITH MY FIANCE?

[kobiams 2]

Hey all,

Is it possible to POE by myself with a truck full of my stuff? It's a fiance visa K1.

Thinking about Fort Erie as my POE.

Please advise and share your thoughts. My fiance is working really hard (approx 70 hours a week) and I want to do it in the early afternoon so when she comes home in the evening I can surprise her :-)

Any thoughts are welcome and appreciated.

As long as you have all of your correct documentation you can travel alone. As far as the trunk load of stuff you can bring what ever the airlines allows. Sounds like a nice surprise. Best of luck to you.

It won't be a problem. Most people enter without the petitioner. The Peace Bridge is a good POE. They know what they're doing there.

Fort Erie is a land border.

Thanks.

Do you know when its not as busy to cross?

It will be busy during the regular long weekend/weekend traffic. Other than that it's usually pretty good. This graph gives you a good indication:

Here are the wait times for all the POE's:

Yes, you can. And kudos to you for wanting to surprise her! I think that's great!

I hate surprises.

I once lied to my husband for 8 hours straight telling him I was still in the states, but I was driving up.

It was very very hard to pull!

I surprised my family once by driving up to Canada with my husband and I didn't tell them I was coming. you should have seen their faces. My husband recorded my mom's reaction but I wish I would have gotten my dad's reaction on video too..lol

I was watching AFV the other day and it had a reaction video to a mom finding out her daughter was pregnant.

She was slack jawed for like 2 minutes. It was hilarious.

They won the 10k.

I had surprised my dad and brother's at the Thrift store they own. They all just kind of looked at me and then my dad said "hey that's my daughter" ..lol
