Cross the border to marry a U.S citizen and work?

[goodmapleleaf]

Your experience really encourages me,Flames8. That's going to be much better if I can still visit while the K-1 is in process. BTW, Did you get married in the states or in Canada?

I got married in the USA, then came back and we started the cr-1 process. Just did a courthouse wedding,lol Then later on did the unofficial family wedding. it looked real, but was not,lol.

I had no prblems crossing into the USA. Always be honest! But don tadd to their questions if you know what i mean! Dont bring lots of luggae,lol or job resumes. Be confident, look them in their eyes when answering. They are looking for people lying,etc. If your honest, all should go well. bring any of your K1 immigration paperwork with you. Never volunteer that, unless they want to see eveidence.

They would ask me, business or pleasure? i would say pleasure and returning on such a such date. If they asked I was seing a girlfriend or wife i would say yes, and i would be returning on such a date. just tell the truth! If you do get denied entry and you tel lthe truth, no big deal, but if you LIE, well things could be all downhill. Read a few stories on Visajourney where people where denied entry (not enough ties to Canada) and when it came time for the Immigration interview, it did not hamper thier application. Always tell the truth,lol

With your k1, you HAVE TO get married in the USA! No if and or buts! And it is a ONE time entry! You can't just activate the visa, and decide, next day you want to go back to Canada. I'm sure you already know that though! Lots of good info on K1 visas on visjourney.com Best of luck

I'm going to guess however if the K1 application is in administrative review, or is being held for further background checking, a visit may not be allowed. worth a shot perhaps, but I wouldn't bet on it
