Hi All,
I am at the stage of arranging my medical before i get an interview at the embassy for my (Hopefully) K1- visa stamp before marrying my US fiancee and moving to the States. Am i allowed to fly to the states in the next couple of weeks to go and see her or will it be a problem due to the fact i am in the process of the K1 Visa process.
Cheers
Warren

Small correction, you have this the wrong way around. It should be "before moving to the States and marrying my US fiancee". It's important to get the sequence right.

No, it's not a problem. You are allowed to visit the USA at any time during the whole K-1 visa process. Just bring proof of your ties to the UK in case the POE officer asks. As always, there is a risk of getting turned away at the POE, just be prepared for it if it happens to you.

What sort of "Proof of ties to the UK" do you mean. House, Job etc.....
Thanks

W,

Since most people will answer 'yes' to this question, I will point out that you are on the record as intending to break all your ties to the UK.

I will also point out that the first question you will be asked when you appear at a US POE is not, "What are your ties to the UK". Rather, the first questions you will be asked are, "What is the purpose of your visit" and "How long are you planning to stay." You need to be prepared for those questions with answers that indicate you have no current reason to remain in the USA at this time once you have accomplished the purpose of your visit.

I'm not saying that you should not have 'proof of ties' with you, I am saying that the opposited side of the coin should not be overlooked.

Regards, JEff
