To use a lawyer or not-applying for K-3

[Singers 0]

Basically, anyone can visit their spouse in the United States as long as they can show they will return to their country and not just stay in the United States and adjust their status that way.

To ease your travel worries, here are some tidbits to help:

1. Make sure you have never overstayed your tourist visa.

2. Have a return ticket (if you're flying)

3. Keep your visits to a reasonable amount of time. (What exactly is reasonable depends on the Officer at POE but basically if you're visiting for months at a time you're going to raise some flags. How many people do you know can afford to take months worth of vacation if they have a job back home, bills to pay .. you get the picture.)

4. Always bring proof with you that shows you need to return to your home country (eg letter from work stating you're returning X day, mortgage statements etc.). Just in case you get that Immigrations Officer that is having a bad day.

5. Remember, letting you into the country is entirely at the Officer's discretion! Always be polite, and answer (briefly!) any questions they ask you and ALWAYS BE HONEST.

Most of the time you should have no problem. I think lawyers tell people they cannot visit because they don't want to be left looking bad if you DO get turned back at the border for some reason. Its a Cover your backside philosophy.

Again I'm all for visiting the USA while the Visa journey is ongoing, I did!! BUT one can have all the evidence in the world, and if the POE officer does not belive ur evidence or whatever, he may not allow u entry into the USA, he doesnt have to give a reason!! Simple as that, he may just have a hunch!!! Just dont be over confident,lol be polite, answer only the questions (dont add too much) and I'm hopefully all go well, just remember it is not ur RIGHT to gain entry in the USA. Best of luck
