After a loooong flight from Beijing,China to Chicago finally i am on the line for the Border Customs and Protection in Chicago O'Hare there were a lot of people there because everyone has to go through it, i didnt even realized it was already the immigration until i get to the window handed the lady my passport, I-94 and Declaration form and then she was like "oh,K1 visa" then she gave me a smile and then she told me you're from a very long flight and i was like Yea, then she asked for the packet then i handed it to her and she enjoyed looking at our pictures then she asked me when are we planning to get married then i answered next month and she also asked if my parents are coming i was like no they cant she then just told me that you might just have a celebration in the Philippines or a gathering to celebrate your wedding then i was like we were actually planning to do that by the time we can go home together in the Philippines then she said ok, after that she just checked everything went through the papers and stuff then she finally told me "congratulations! You're good to go, Best Wishes" with a very warmth smile on her face then i picked up my luggage then went to the gate for my flight to Kansas :) i am very glad that Chicago was my POE because people there are really great people :)
