My boyfriend and I have been in a relationship for 6 months and we'd like to live together for a few months (not permanent residence, just under 6 months).
However, we previously tried to have me come stay w/ him in November. Unfortunately, I was turned away and fingerprinted, etc. Apparently the amount of luggage I had did not match my intentions? I was essentially accused of lying to the border officials. As I was not able to prove my ties to Canada ... I was given the "paper", listing things I would need to re-enter the US. Boyfriend is now flagged and searched every time he attempts to return to the US (he visits every 1/2 months for about a week).
Now it's been a bit and we're looking to try again. To my knowledge, they would have told me if I was banned/ineligible. Much planning is going to happen this time to prevent any problems.
Here's my problem:
- I'm living w/ my parents at the moment.
- I'm not enrolled in school (we were thinking perhaps enrolling in the US might work?).
What are my options? Is this a lost cause?
