Traveling while visa is processing

[Bakemma 4]

Hello all, I just mailed away our I-129F packet today and I'm currently planning a trip to visit my fiancé in July, but I want to know because the process takes such a long period of time, is my fiancé allowed to travel in to the US while the visa is pending approval? I read somewhere that it isn't advisable because there is increased scrutiny because he obviously has the intent to marry and stay in the US one day. But has anyone on here traveled to the US while waiting for their visa to be approved or denied? He is only from the UK, and I don't know if that makes a difference because his country participates in the Visa Wavier Program.

Of course he can visit you while your I-129F is still processing. There are a lot success stories here about that. Just make sure when he brings all proof that he will be back to home country to finish all the process. Tell the truth and honest when they ask him at immigration line.

My hubby then fiancé came to stay with me for a month while were waiting for the NOA2. Just stay honest with why the visit and shouldn't be any issues. He too is from the UK

Thank you for the answer and the link to the other thread. I feel SOOO much better about this whole process now, knowing that he'll be able to come over and visit me. Thanks!

My fiance filed our I-139f march 3 2014 ... I have travelled to the US once for 6 weeks before my summer employment resumed. I had proper turn to Canada paperwork and stayed true and honest to the US officials and all was good

I have heard of plenty of people traveling to the US throughout the K1 process. As other people suggested, just have him bring information to show he has ties back home. If he works, have his employer type up a letter saying he's taking a leave of absence for x amount of time and will be returning. If he has a lease, have him bring a copy. I have heard of people bringing bank statements to show the account is still open and whatnot. It shouldn't be an issue, but we all know how immigration can be when coming into the US. Just have him bring as much evidence as he can to prove he has strong ties back home and will be returning. Good luck!
