Hello,

Has anyone gone though Dulles Airport (IAD) for POE? What was the wait time for K1 processing at immigration?

What is the wait time at other airports? I know there is extra paperwork required as opposed to tourist or student visa.

Thanks

All "processing" is pretty much the same regardless of the POE. Opening the envelope, taking fingerprints ( usually electronic) maybe a photo and then waiting a bit for your I94 stamp.The delays are more due to the traffic than anything else. You can arrive and be the only flight at that time, or be jammed with 20 other flights. There are no specific wait times. Took my wife about 20-30 minutes for the whole thing.
