Good Morning VJers!

My fiance will be arriving into NH Saturday night on his K-1 Visa.

He will be connecting through Charlotte NC. I didnt see any reviews for this POE. Anyone have experience with CLT? I have been through the airport but did not have to deal with immigrattion.

Also, just to be sure, all he needs is the sealed envelope and Passport/Visa (of course). Is there anything else he needs that I am forgetting?

Thanks all for the help/advice.

Cat

I can't see anything else he needs to bring other than just himself to you!! We wish you the very smoothest POE experience and a fantastic life together

Thanks and good luck to you. I wish your process to go as smoothly as mine has!

Irie;

May God bless all three of you. You SO reminds me of my best friend. He's from St. Lucia. he cut off all his locs though...

Thanks Tre! Louis will never cut those dreads ... and I wouldn't like it very much if he did! His family asked me when I would make him ... I said "NEVER!!!". When we 1st dated I had dreams of him with long grey dreads!

You will soon be over the interview and in the same place I am! YAY!

Yes and I thank God and my sisters here on VJ for getting me this far. For some reason, I'm not a bit nervous, I'm as calm as ever. I just want it past us. I'm ready to get married and make some babies. Need to hurry up...clock almost STOPPED.

There is no reason to be nervous! You got your $hit together! :-) Louis and I are planning on a baby .. maybe next year. I think we will be heading down to the DC area after we get married. I want him to meet all my friends/co workers down there. We will have to link up and make him go to crossroads or something... ever go to Timheri in Adam's Morgan??

congratulations i bet ur really excited im happy for u

Congrats Irie, Im so envious, have a great reunion.

Thanks so much! :-)

Congratulations!!!

I bet you are bouncing off the walls

AWWW I am so happy for you both!



This makes me happy for us all!

Congrats

Best Wishes to you both and a Happy reunion with your love

Wishing you both a very happy reunion!

So happy for you both!!!

Thanks everyone! I am pretty excited... but all I do is clean! Louis says when he gets here there will be no paint on the walls!

Congratulations! how exciting! we can't wait for that day! Can just imagine how you both feel! Have a wonderful reunion and a cherish each other always!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So happy for both of you ....

Side note - you asked about Charlotte ... Stephen entered at Raleigh-Durham airport -- there weren't any reviews for POE either. But I can tell you, Charlotte and Raleigh being "smaller" airports, they don't get as many visa entries as say, JFK, Newark, etc. We've found it's taking longer for Stephen to get into the SAVE system (system which allows him to get a SSN, etc). So be aware, it may take longer than 2 weeks, or it may not. As I've lived 20 years in NC, they are a slower state in processing paperwork ... but I wish you both best of luck, and hopefully a quicker experience than we've had (We went to the customs & border patrol office at Raleigh-Durham this morning to find out why his I-94 isn't in the system yet, and they re-submitted one today, so we have to wait another 1-2 weeks to try for SSN again!)

Here's hoping everything goes smoothly for the two of you!!!!

Oh Thanks! Actually I was worried about him just getting through and on to his next flight! LOL
I didn't even think that far ahead.. but now I will understand.

Well I hadn't thought that far ahead either, and since Stephen hate's flying, I was trying to shorten the number of flights we went on. It's not a huge problem, but just frustrating that they don't all operate under the same guidelines ... Charlotte does handle more international flights than Raleigh, so maybe it will go faster

And I've only flown through Charlotte on domestic flights, but they seem to be better organized than Raleigh, so hopefully immigration won't take too long. How much time does he have for layover?

About 2 1/2 hours. If he misses - he misses. I would just feel a little bad for him. :-)

That should be plenty of time ... we got through RDU immigration (and we were the last people in line because we were at the back of the plane coming from Europe -- so over around 200 people), and we got through in less than 1 hour.

Oh Good. He wont have any checked bags. That could be good or bad... Good he doesnt have to wait for baggage etc but sometimes it looks suspicious with only a carryon. Well we shall see...

:-)

Congratulations !

Thanks!

Hey Cat!

I'm so happy for you and Louis. Was his POE in PR? How did it go? PR is going to be Sheridan's POE.

BTW, I missed my connectiion from PR to LAX yesterday, pilots were late from SLU.....I had to fly to Boston and SFO. It was needless to say, a very looooong trip home! LOL

Congratulations again!!!

Louis flew from Hewanorra to Charlotte and then to NH. So he didnt have to go to PR.
Immigration was a breeze... 20 minutes he said.

Glad you made it home safe... time to get ready for Sheridan! YAY!

Oh yeah....duh...that's right - you did tell me that. LOL!!

So how's Louis adjusting to the weather and also your hometown? I'm glad he only spent 20 minutes w/customs & immigration.

When I went thru PR, they were very friendly so I'm sure all will go well when Sheridan goes thru PR. I'll keep you posted.

Tell Louis Sheridan and I said hello and welcome to America!!
