oh really?!...i guess your flying in Delta airlines,try to be there in airport as early as you can.

my flight is 6:30a.m Manila to Nagoya then Nagoya to Detroit..I arrived in NAIA around 2a.m there's

a lot people already.some of them they fall inline near to that counter,you can weight your luggage

they have scale for every airlines,so at least you know how heavy is your luggage.for Delta airlines

they have minimum 40kg and 7kg for hand carry.We stop at Nagoya for few minutes then back to the same plane,

same sit.Before the plane land the crew will give I-94 form,ask them if they didn't give you,fill up the form

in POE there's a long line again,The officer in Immigration who interviewed me is not strict she's friendly.

this time you hand them the Packet from US embassy.(hand carry your packet) then they will take photo and

finger scan,then ask you few question.the officer will attached the half of the I-94 form to your passport.

have a safe trip!...God bless...

No, all the "fees" are collected in the Philippines.

There will be no BS entry fee when you arrive in the U.S. There will also be no BS travel tax, terminal fee, security fee when you leave the U.S. to visit the Philippines.

Hope this helps. :whistle:

Gotta love the Philippines, they want tourists but only give you 21 days and then tax you at every turn when you go to leave lol. If you overstay there's a tax and if you leave there's a tax. At least they don't tax your arrival.

And check your ticket, my wife's ticket had the travel tax included.

The visa allows you to fly to the USA. The I-94, once approved by Customs, allows you to stay for 90 days, allowing you to marry. The green card (AOS process) is completely separate, though they will probably take your expired I-94 when you go for your interview for AOS (they took my wife's, at least), because you no longer need it.

Because Detroit is probably a major Delta hub, but I'm just guessing.
