Hi! This is a week late but would just like to share that I am finally in Ohio now :) I got here last Sunday, April 19, and my POE was Detroit.

POE was interesting. The female officer asked me questions about my fiancé, how we met, his job. She wondered why it took me long to come here (visa approved February 9. Had to stay for another two months to finish work). I explained this to her and she said, ok that's all, good luck.

I was already at the baggage carousel and pulling my luggage away when she called me back. I was nervous at this point but remained calm. She said she just forgot to ask one more thing. She noticed my visa application was so close to the expiry date (Feb 13, for approved Feb 9). She didn't really ask anything additional, but told me she just needed her supervisor to validate it. A male office came in, signed off on my papers, and said I was good to go.

Everything took maybe less than 15 mins. All they asked from me was the yellow packet.

Thank you for all the help we have gotten when we were going through the k1 process. We will still be around though to ask about AOS :)
