Okay, so a little news out of the MTL. I did my usual bi-weekly ish follow email expecting to get the "generic" email they usually send back. Nope, they replied back with please grab a new medical and send your passport in via the AIS service. So that's something positive.

K1 Visa (129f- Fiancé) are still a package, physically handed to the CBP and they forward to a service center.
Marriage visa types (CR1/IR1) are digital and are pulled up on the system by CBP. Hope that helps

Totally hard to say right, only know based on experience or what we read on here. Of course, our situation is a little different than a snowbird where they aren't seeking to be PR on the US. I know that CBP might not prevent you from crossing and yield much warning about your "time" in country. Of course Onus is on the traveller right.

@Mmk2112My understanding of the whole "12 month rolling" is this limited but a good example would be if I crossed today (Feb 07 2023). We would need to look at the previous 12 months from that day and see how many days I have been in the USA.. So based on question, that would be an overstay.
