Default Visiting each other during K1

Some people say I cannot visit my boyfriend while K1 visa is
processing. Some say as long as I have proof that I will go back to
Canada. How about him, can he come to Canada to visit?

Thanks

Those people are wrong. If they are your friends, I suggest you get a new set of friends.

Irene:

You can visit each other. The question is whether or not the immigration officials will let either of you cross. As long as they are convinced it is just a visit.

What ever you do, do NOT lie to any immigration officer. You don't have to volunteer information if they don't ask.

I made several trips to Paris while we waited for my future wife's K1 to
be approved. I had no problems at all.
We didn't take the chance for her to come to the U.S.

Boyfriend??

Yeh, it's too risky for the one who has the visa pending. I have no problem when I go to England to visit my wife, but when I phoned the USCIS to ask what they thought about her coming here while her visa is pending, they said that there's a good chance she would be denied entry.

But, yeh, it does come down to the immigration officer you meet when you go through customs/immigration. You have to convince them.
