Turned around at the US boarder for being a musician. Now I''m "flagged"! Recently engaged to a US citizen that I love with all my heart.

Congratulations on your recent engagement. I am sorry you ran into problems at the port of entry when trying to enter the U.S.  Certainly being an entertainer can raise red flags for CBP as to the purpose and intent of your entry.  As you know, it is common for entertainers to come to the U.S. to "visit" but really play some shows etc.  CBP could also be concerned that you will stay in the U.S. rather than  just visit in order to stay with your fiancee.  (They could view you as an intending immigrant.) At this point, it may be difficult to be admitted as a visitor w/o stronger ties to Canada (employment, apt etc.)   We have assisted clients in similar situations come to visit a fiancee, but it did require a thorough review and preparation of the case. At this point,  you should consider starting the K-1 fiancee process while also investigating options to be admitted to the U.S. as a visitor.  In your case, both will likely require attorney involvement, and minimally you should consult with an immigration attorney who is experienced with border issues, K-1 filings etc.  We are located in Buffalo and have a large border practice.  We are happy to consult with you on these issues if you are interested. As any FYI, you can find info on the K-1 process at: http://www.familytousa.com/fiance-petition-k-1-visa/ Based on your denied entry, you should consider consulting with an immigration attorney who can review your specific facts and outline a case plan for you.
