Visiting with K-1 visa process

[jackyjimenez 115]

Hi, I am starting with my K-1 process. I´m from Costa Rica and I´d like to visit my fiance for the last time in the States as a visitor, what should I do? But I am afraid to say I am going to see him, I´ve been in the States twice one month the first time and five days last time.

You have to be honest when asked the purpose of your visit.

you can visit while it is in progress but you will need proof that you will return at the end of the visit.

I told CBP three times I was coming to visit my boyfriend and two times I was visiting my fiance (both the same guy lol) and got through without problems. 
Just be honest. It'll be very appreciated and saves you more troubles than getting caught lying.

I travelled from the UK and visited my fiancé in the US once each month (5 visits in total) while we were waiting for approval, and never had any issues. My advice would be the same as others - to just make sure that you take some evidence with you that proves you still have ties to your home country. I always took an updated mortgage statement to prove I owned property in the UK, and a letter from my boss that said I was employed full time in an office position. Be honest at immigration, and you'll be fine. They may ask you a few additional questions about your ties to home, but honesty is definitely the best policy.

I don't come from a first world or western country but it worked out fine for me too. At the point of my last visit to the US, I was already engaged to my USC fiance. The CBP officer asked me who I was visiting and I told him my fiance and his family. He asked if I was planning to get married during that visit and I said no and that we are compiling the paperwork for him to send off upon my departure. He also looked at my flight itinerary printout to confirm that I have a flight booked to return home
