Hello everyone! I've been visiting this site for about a month now, gathering information and stories, and now that the week of my fiance and I's personal plan is about to take place, I think I'm just looking for some tips that will help ease my anxiety. If anyone is able to, great! If not, thank you for taking the time to read this regardless.
I am a Canadian citizen, while he is an American citizen. While I understand that most people suggest and support outland immigration for a US relationship, our circumstances have us favouring inland.
Our current plan is as follows: we will be driving up from the United States in two separate cars, though timing it so that we will be one right after the other at the border line. I will be going through first, and explaining that in the car behind me is my fiance. I would then inform the officer that we are hoping to have him come up here on visitor status and, while being keenly aware of the time limit imposed there, be focused on getting married within a civil service and submitting our spousal inland immigration and OWP package within two months of him being there. Ideally, my fiance then drives through and corroborates what I said and, even more ideally, that is that. I am, however, mentally preparing myself to go through second screening.
I suppose my biggest question to the people of this forum is whether or not this plan seems likely to succeed to fail. I tend to be an anxious person by nature and a very big planner, so having it mostly left up to the officer's opinion of the situation is a bit difficult for me.
Any tips? Am I planning on telling the officer too much?
