WELCOME TO THE US!!!!

[Channah&Aaron 51]

WOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, YESSSSSSS, I AM HOME!!!!

It's such a good feeling that it's almost ridiculous

After a long "bottom" flight from Amsterdam to Iceland, Iceland to JFK, JFk to Pittsburgh, I am finally home. As you can see, JFK was my POE. During my flights I was soooooo nervous, but I learned that as soon as I was questioned by the Officer, my confidence showed up

Our plane landed as first from other International flights, so there was no line . The woman said I can choose one Officer and I walked to a desk with a guy that seemed very nice to me, lol! And he was. I told him that I am a K1 and showed him my Visa. He asked for the big envelope and he looked thru it and put some stamps in it. He then asked me to follow him to an Immigration Officer.

I had to sit down and wait for them to call my name, thank goodness I was the only one there so I waited for like 5-10 min or so.

The Officer called my name and started to ask questions:

OFFICER: Your access got denied May 2010, why?!

ME: I explained that I travelled to the US before that time and never had to show anything, and that time I didn't bring any proof either.

OFFICER: So that's the only reason why your access got denied?

ME: I told him that I wasn't honest about my relationship with Aaron that time. I said that he was friend, instead of, at that time, my boyfriend

OFFICER: Have you met him before your access got denied?

ME: I told him: like I said earlier, I've been to the US before to meet him. So yes!

OFFICER: At that time, was it your intention to marry him?

ME: I said no, if I really wanted to marry him on a B2 Visa, I would have married him during one of my visits.

OFFICER: Good answer.

OFFICER: So, during the time you were working at this company?

ME: Yes

OFFICER: What does your fiance do for a living?!

ME: I told him what my fiance is doing for a living

OFFICER: Is this the address you are going to stay, and is it Aaron's address?

ME: YES

OFFICER: Who decided to get married, you or Aaron?

ME: I told the Officer that we BOTH decided to get married

OFFICER: Very good answer

OFFICER: You know you need to get married within 90 days, right?

ME: I told him that we are going to get married by the end of this month.

OFFICER: You are all settled, and good luck and welcome in the USA

It all took +/- 20 min (included the waiting) So, I can say it was a breeze!

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WHO HELPED ME WHENEVER I NEEDED HELP!

It has been a long, sometimes rough, year. But it was WORHT IT!!!!

Now, I am HOME with the of my life!!
