I'm so excited, mostly for getting to see my SO (though it's only been 8 weeks since I was last with her) but also one of my friends (a US citizen) is getting married!
I'm really nervous though as this will be my 4th trip in under a year (see my signature) and am very worried (and kind of expecting) immigration to deny me entry
Partly due to the number of trips looking "suspicious" and partly due to the short time between trips.
I'm hoping the fact my friend is getting married will be enough (and my return flight) to proove i have a valid reason in the US and I don't plan to overstay - i'm hoping my previous clean record of always leaving when I said I would will help me too. I'll be surprised if I don't at least get pulled out of line, and slightly surprised if I don't go for a secondary questioning/interview
Also hoping the fact that the bride to be is picking me up at the airport will work in my favour.
Haven't been asked about my SO on the last 3 trips, though admitidly they did ask if I had a girlfriend back home!
Just nervous and wanted to type my thoughts down somewhere, and this seemed like a better place than any
Sometimes I wish there was a special visa for partners from another country to help proove that they plan to return - proove that you are in a relationship, get this visa, and have it monitored or something to make sure you are doing what the visa allows etc... would make life easier, though i understand harder work for US Government. I also wish they would trust us a bit more, though I understand why they don't, but thats the point of the Visa Waiver - so lower "threat" internationals can visit the country easier
