My wife has her VISA in hand and we are flying to the states in a few weeks. My question is, can we fly to another location than the one shown as the domicile address on the papers she is carrying? We want to attend my daughter's birthday party which is in another city. So we want to fly into that city and attend the birthday party and then go to the address stated as our home of record. Will the customs agents be ok with that or do customes require us to fly directly to the address stated as our address of domicile? Thanks.

You can fly wherever you want... Think about it - what counts is your POE (first place you land in US) - how often you are going to enter US in a place where you live ?

You can fly wherever you want. The address is for paperwork- it is where they will send her greencard etc.
