Oh man, I’m sorry, I thought you were just bashing me with no real input. I didn’t even see the edits, I didn’t know you could edit a quote. My bad man. If you are gone, I get it, I’m sorry about that! Thought I was just getting bashed for no reason. paperwork as in certificate of employment, plane tickets. This kind of stuff. And regarding the long visit, you’re right. I’ve heard of people doing long visits before without an issue, but just want advice on how to make the case to the CBP, I guess.

We’ve had three visits already together. I make roughly 150k USD annually at 25 doing military contracting work. i work ten hours a day during the week, so it is hard for me to find time to do research. We’ve decided to go forward with this process, as if anything happens we can always pull out and just lose time and money. rather than be together for two years, then take two additional years for this. please inform me on any incorrect assumptions I’ve made. I feel like I’ve done a little bit of research, however, I feel like this part is kinda fuzzy to me. I’ve decided to post here, which has been the most helpful what a warm welcome to these forums! Thanks for your response, hopefully there’s not as many sour people as you.

Hi everyone, My girlfriend and I are looking at submitting the K1 visa soon, roughly March. She is going to visit me(Sponsor, United States) at the end of February after I visit her(Beneficiary, Canada) for her birthday. We're going to drive over the border together and fly out of an American airport, so crossing there will have a lot of questions. We've been dating for roughly four months and decided that the K1 would be the best path for us due to the long processing times. However, after reading these forums, it looks like CR-1 would've been the best bet. We planned on a return flight in a month and a half, but have insurance on it so we can push it back possibly to the max of three (or six?) months, I believe. During her time here, she will be working towards finishing online classes at a Canadian institution and also getting certified towards certificates in her desired field. My questions are: Are we allowed to submit the K1 visa while she is here under no visa? I know that once the K1 visa is submitted, there is a significant amount of scrutiny under the Beneficiary, but I don't know if that looks bad in the light of immigration officers. - And if she is, are we allowed to have her stay up to those 3 months like we originally planned? Moving forward, every time she enters, does she need to enter under an ESTA? I acknowledge the 1.5:1 day rule, so we will be mindful of that. And if we can extend our upcoming trip, do the immigration officers take note of that? How do we let them know that we will be extending our trip? Or do we just be honest with them and let them know when we plan on going back? I know honesty is the best policy with them. I will be sure when crossing to have all my paperwork, paystubs, and bank account ready to be shown. She will also have the proper paperwork. Thank you if you took the time to read this, have a nice day!
