Hi. My fiancee' is arriving in the states in October and her final destination to me is at Washington's IAD. Her first stop will be in Chicago. My question is, will she be made to go through customs (i.e., opening of her sealed packet) when she arrives in Chicago for her connection or will her entry be at IAD? :unsure:

Thanks

Her first stop (Chicago) will be her POE (Port of Entry) - that is where she will go through CBP. Subsequent connections will be domestic flights. :thumbs:

Make sure she has at least a 3 hour lay over in Chicago. Getting through customs can take anywhere from half an hour to several hours (depending on various factors).

Thanks for the info. The flight I booked for her has a 4.5 hour lay over. I'm meeting her there and flying the remainder of the way with her.

Ah, that is a great idea.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”
