Girlfriend from Hong Kong told interviewer for her B2 visa to the US that we were not dating

Girlfriend from Hong Kong told interviewer for her B2 visa to the US that we were not dating - Cheerful young Asian couple in casual clothes hugging each other and standing against modern skyscrapers while spending holidays in New York

Will this be a problem if she tells immigration that we are dating? Will she be denied entry for this even though a B2 visa allows you to visit boyfriend/girlfriends?



Best Answer

In a comment you state: “she told the interviewer than we weren't dating, but waiting to meet to decide to move forward into a relationship, which is true.”

That description was true at the time of her interview and will remain true on her arrival in the US. Your girlfriend should tell the Border officer exactly the same thing she told the interviewer. She should not volunteer more than this unless asked; if asked, she should stick to describing the premise and circumstances of the visit as they were described in the application.
