We will be filing I-129F application for K1 fiance visa soon and ideally
would like to file it while I am visiting in Boston next month. I will be
returning to Canada, have a return flight booked and have a full time job in
Canada, apartment, etc. to come back to.

My questions:

Are we permitted to file an I-129F while I am in the US temporarily? If
this is a grey area, we don't want to jeopardize our application. Are we
better off to wait until I come back to Canada and then file?

AND

If we can file while I am in the US visiting, what do we put for question 13
"If your fiance(e) is currently in the US, complete the following .... etc.
etc. Obviously I arrived as a visitor, but what would we put for
Arrival/Departure Record where it says "Date Authorized Stay expired as
shown on Form I-94." Is this the date I leave the US? This date would be
several weeks after we file the I-129 since I am staying for 5 weeks.

Thanks in advance for any help this group can provide.

You can file while you are in the US, there is nothing to prevent this.

See if you can wiggle in a small notation, "no I-94, Canadian visitor"

Hi Sharon,

I'm equally curious, because I will be doing the same thing... but my
stay is only 1 week.

Help? Anyone? Rete?

It is as US Ticket said, if you don't get an I-94 when entering the US, then put down "Canadian, no I-94 issued" and you can put in your intended date of departure.

I found when I flew into Ottawa, I got an I-94 in my passport. If I drove, I didn't. So go with what you are given upon entry.
