This might be a silly question - but who picks POE? Do they tell you at the interview or do you pick it yourself - can it be anywhere or does it have to be at only specific airports? We are nearing the end of the process and this question just popped into my head!

Thanks :)

POE is determined by which ever carrier (flight) you want to fly with. Obviously not all US airports are POE but there are plenty: Chicago, Denver, NY, DC, Atlanta, Dallas and yes San Diego to name just a few. The flight will have a designated first stop in the US where everyone has to go through the customs before they can catch their connecting flights and exit the airport.

Almost all airports in US that accept international flights are considered POEs. Google 'US POE', there's actually an official list.

ALL airports that accept any non "precleared" international flights are POE's

YMMV

You can enter any international port where there is immigration. Take a look at the POE reviews, that might help you. Make it convenient for your self. .

Just pick your best, cheapest, most convenient flight. Wherever the plane first lands on US soil will be a POE.
