Going for a Vacation

[Auggy]

We don't go by a specific amount. Every case is different. The problem I have here is that you have Intent to Immigrate. The Officer you talk to will have the final say, but like I said before, stick to short 1-2 week trips at a time.

"The Intent to Immigrate" is because I intend to stay for three months? Don't they factor in that I have a round trip ticket, which is already booked?

Thanks

Round trip tickets mean very little, as many know that a round trip ticket can cost less than a 1 way ticket! It doesnt hurt, but doesn't help a great deal!

Don't bring any items to make it look like you are moving here. Have you heard of Luxury Suites International? They manage condo hotels interntionally and they have a lot here in the United States. They have really good rates and the longer you stay the cheaper it is. They are fully furnished with Flat Screens appliances etc. All they ask is to be good to their property.

Your intent is because you show up, you have a US fiancée, you've got a K-1 in process, you're taking your car and your TV and you say you want to stay for months. That makes it sound like you have immigrant intent to most CBP people.

Hard to mitigate that one, which is why laws is saying only go for short visits and just wait for your visa. Takes about 7 months at the moment.

Auggy and the OP are different people however, with different circumstances.

Auggy just wants to go down for a few months and play game shows.

It's my fault....I should have created a separate thread.

Either way, if you show up with $100 and say you're staying for 3 months I doubt they'll let you in.

Auggy, just have a little patience and don't be in such a rush to migrate until ALL of your paperwork is finalized. I understand the urge to be with your loved one but it's really not worth it once CBP catches on to your "antics". And besides, seven months to a year waiting time will quickly zoom by before you know it. What you're proposing clearly states your intention to immigrate to the U.S. You really shouldn't risk it. Everything will work out once you do things logically.
