Layover ok?

[gurugreg 0]

When my fiance gets her K1 in Vietnam, we would like to stay a few days in Hong Kong on the way over here. When I told my travel agent this, she said that that would be a problem, and that we should fly direct. I remember reading a thread here about this topic, but I can't find it now. I think it said a layover is ok as long as everything is done before 6 months, which we plan to do. Do I remember correctly? Thanks!

A layover is OK. Basically, as long as you have a visa (if needed) to enter another country and your passport is still valid, that does not affect entry to another country. Hence your entry to HK and that of into the US are not related at all. And that also assumes that there are no travel restrictions between visa holders of either of the countries.

To enter US, you need a passport that has at least 6 months left on it, before it expires.
