How is PORT OF ENTRY determined?

If you are going to the United States it doesnt matter where your POE is. Just need a flight to a US airport that has POE into the United States. Check to see if you have a direct flight to your city, if not you will need a 2nd flight from your POE

Thanks! yes, it's about my fiancee(K1-Visa) coming here in the US from the Philippines and i'm in florida.

one more thing, i know this should be another topic but i'm too lazy to start a new one..LOL.

Do you guys advice that I go to the philippines and fly back here in the US with my fiancee? i know the cost of the plane ticket will give me headache, but will it help her in any way that i'm with her when she arrives at the POE?

Depends on how she is likely to react to things. If she has good English and isn't afraid to travel there is no point spending the money unless you are going to have a long vacation there with her and go to the interview with her.

As far as helping her at the POE... She will have everything and the immigration officials will take care of everything. There isn't much you will be able to do to facilitate that process.

It would be nice to have international travel with your fiance and be with her every step of the way of course.

At the very least I would make sure to fly to whatever city she has POE to be there if she needs to call you. I sent Tmobile sim card to my Fiance to put in her cell phone when she gets off the plane in the US. (Make sure her phone works in the US before she leaves) I will not activate prepaid service for her until a few days before the interview so its still active when she arrives. All of this is only if I cant go back for her interview. (I have been to Makati 3 times in 10 months already), just have to wait and see if I can get off work again. If you are worried I would not have her fly to LAX its very busy. I just got back from Makati and flew from Las Vegas with a short stop in Korea then to Manila. Las Vegas international terminal is very small with only one bagage claim so it would be much less confusion for her. If you watch Spirit Airlines they always have good prices from Florida to Vegas with the 9 dollar club. Southwest is another low cost airline from there. Not sure what city you are in but I used to live in Orlando and always used these 2 airlines when flying to Las Vegas 2 times a year for vacation. Hope this helps and goodluck.
