My wife is considering a visit from South Africa, but I don't know if it is worth the risk in being denied. It is a 19 hour flight over the ocean and 2000 dollars for a ticket so it would probably be best for me to go over there again. I can't imagine how horrible it must be to travel across the world, drop that kind of cash down only to be turned down and sent home! Not worth the rist IMO.

Perhaps route her flights through Dublin (dunno if that's possible...not very knowledgable on flights to/from SA). She can clear US immigration there and IF she is turned away, at least it wouldn't be at the end of a 19 hour journey.

Just an idea!

Make sure there's proof of a return in your possession: ticket, letter from an employer, lease agreement, etc.

Hello,

Just to make sure that I understood this correctly: There is a chance to get cleared in Dublin already? Will there be another clearance upon arrival in the States?

Thank you.

[TracyTN 237]

You would have to clear CUSTOMS upon arrival in the States, as that obviously must be done on US soil.

[girl 37 7]

TracyTN, I'm not sure that's correct. Passengers heading to the US clear both US Immigration and US Customs when leaving the Vancouver airport.

I traveled to the US from the UK when our K3 process had began and I didnt even have a NOA1 or anything. I was REALLY nervous because Boston usually ask me alot of questions when I come to the US. However this time all I was asked was why I was coming to I said it was a stop over for my honeymoon and then I would be coming back to the US for 3 weeks.

He asked why my husband wasnt with me and so I explained he was a US citizen and had already gone through. He then went on to ask about the wedding, honeymoon destination, small chit chat and also telling me in future that my husband and I can go through customs together because we are now a family.

He did ask me where we will be intending to live and I said the US eventually, then he asked me what type of visa we are applying for and I said K3 and that was it. He wished me a great honeymoon and stay.

I was only going to be here for 3 weeks but have now change my flight so im here till August.

My advice is just be honest! Your not doing anything wrong so just relax and be open and honest with your answers.

Of course we aren't doing anything wrong, but I think anytime you risk losing out on 2 thousand dollars you have to be very cautious about what you are doing. It seems like many people are able to come across and visit for a few weeks at a time, but is the small chance of denial worth two thousand dollars and the potential heartbreak and travel fatigue? Not to me.. unless I have a definite yes I couldn't put my wife through that hell..

Really? Interesting!

I could have sworn I read accounts of Dublin that said they did not clear customs there. I'll ask rebeccajo to step in here and tell us for sure - she and her hubby went that route.
