need an advice for POE please

[Derry Lea 2]

Hello,everyone.So now that we have the visa approved,even thought DHL are not as fast as I wish,meaning I still haven't received my passport back,we are looking to book flight for me.The most convinient for me is for Philadelphia since the airport is 2 hour drive from my fiance's.However the tricky part is that there are two stops.One is from Bulgaria to Poland with one hour stay in Poland which is ok.The other one is at the Chicago Int airport and there is 1hr and 50min wait till the next flight to Phl.Now my question is will this time be enough for me to go through Immigrations????I mean I'm worried I'll miss the flight to Phl (( The change is at 9.30pm and I have no clue how long it will take for the Immi's to check me.What do you think?Any advice will be appriciated

Hi

I don't think you will be able to do the whole process. because your POE will be Chicago. not Philadelphia. and you will need at least 2 hour. because you need the visa in the moment you arrive to USc. they will stamp it in Chicago airport if your first place in USA is Chicago

Depends on how many international flights are arriving around that time. I had a friend arrive to Chicago on a K-1 and she was through immigration in less than 30 minutes.

That is going to be a tight squeeze. I would recommend you look at booking a flight with US airways since Philadelphia is one of their major hubs and it might easier to make PHIL her POE. They have direct flights from Amsterdam, brussels, paris, Zurich, Frankfurt and other european countries your fiancee could connect from. From Sofia Airport you have flights to Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Munich. Also look at Delta since they have a flight from Sofia to Paris and then to Philadelphia. You have many flight options from Sofia including London. You also have Newark Airport as a POE but it is a longer drive.
