Just applied & Travel on H1-B Question

[Erin and Muraari 0]

Hello All

I just sent in my entire I-130 and I-485 package in to Chicago. Wish me luck. I hope this goes smoothly as I really really dont want to go deal with all this documentation again with an RFE etc.

One question. I am on an H1-B and as you may have guessed am married to a US citizen. I am planning on driving to Canada and then back in the next few days. Now it is a fact that the H1-B is dual intent so marriage ot a US citizen and traveling without a green card or AP should not be a problem. However, we have been asked numerous times at the US border before marriage whether we were married or not. SO makes me wonder if now this time when I say "yes" they will hassle us?

Has anyopne had experience with this? Is this worth the risk? I know it varies a lot depeodning on which border crossing and airport you use, but still..... If I am turned back at the border this will casue LOTS of complications.

Thanks for your help

I would suggest waiting until you have either AP or your Green Card to travel to Canada. Why risk if there is even a slight possibility of being denied re-entry from Canada?

Good luck
