Visiting the US on a tourist Visa while awaiting K-1 visa
Does anyone know if there are any problems with entering the US (to
visit my fiancee in New York) on a tourist visa while awaiting a K-1
visa. The application for the K-1 has been made but has not progressed
yet.
I know that I will have to leave the US and return to the UK before the
tourist visa expires (up to 90 days) and then re-enter on the K-1 visa
when the time comes.
I am a British citizen.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

"visit" + "waiting" + "K1" + "K-1" = These threads
There are probably other keywords you could use and find even more posts about this subject... Which has been discussed repeatedly here. Good luck.

Other than the possibliity that the Officer at the POE might refuse admission, it is perfectly fine. BTW, a refusal of a VWT admission is NOT a formal "removal" -- although I've seen them entered as such in the database in error. Make sure you do not make any misrepresentations -- a "212(a)(6)(C)" finding would be a bad thing indeed.
Good luck.

Just making sure I understand (for interest's sake): anyone who ever
misrepresents themself as a US citizen when they are not is inadmissible,
and there is no waiver. In other words, it's a lifetime bar?

But best avoided.
