I am not booking any flights this early in the stages, however i have been tracking flights for September-November just to keep sight on ticket prices. I am wondering if there is a "prefered" port of entry or possibly one is better then another? I have been looking into flights from my fiancees country into Chicago O'Hare. Anyone experience this port of entry? One can assume any where you first enter the US would be no different then the rest but you know what happens with assumptions.. lol... so any advice or experiences would be helpful when making our travel plans after we recieve the visa. Also, does it help at port of entry if the USC accompanies the visa holder, or is there no difference? Thank you for your insight and shared experiences in advance...

It does not matter which POE she comes through. The processing will be the same. Book whatever airfare is more convenient to both of you.

I'm not sure the above are absolutely true. Read these POE reviews http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/

Sometimes people write that they came across an officer who wasn't familiar (hadn't dealt) with K1 visa before and wasn't sure what to do and had to call on their supervisor. But I'd assume this may happen at any Port of entry. It's rather logical to choose the airport the closest to your USC fiance(e)'s dwelling place ;)

This is actually what prompted me to ask. I had viewed some stories or reviews that were about unpleasant experiences at the POE I really appreciate everyones response.......
