I was wondering also about the entry procedures. When I arrive at immigration, there are separate sections for Visitors, and US Citizens. Am I allowed to go wait in the lines for Visitors, with my K1 and K2 visa holders?

I wish to be with her the entire way through. If there's a problem, I wish to be right there with her, not outside the barrier, wondering what is going on.

K-1 cannot do global entry. As for customs/immigration (second posters question), we went through the visitor line in Miami (I went with my husband rather than separate and go through citizen/resident line) because there were signs everywhere saying "ONLY residents or citizens can go through that line, but when we finally got through the line the officer said "you could have just gone through the citizens line since one of you is a citizen, so take from that what you will.

Thank you keljopy, for the information. I may just try to have her come into US Citizens/Residents line with me. I live in Chicago, so as of her arrival in Chicago, she is a resident of Chicago. We are using Chicago as POE, so I will try to float that past them if there are any questions.

I just entered on my K1 yesterday with my USC fiancé. We asked, and were directed to the Citizens / Permanent Residents line, which moves a lot faster than the Alien line. It took a few minutes at the first counter and we went onto Secondary Processing which wasn't busy busy and took only another 10 mins or so. My Fiancé was able to stay with me the whole way through. POE was Houston. GL!

So... Then what happens? I mean you get in line for Citizen with your K1 Fiancé...and then? Is there an interview? Or do they just ask the purpose of his/her entry and send you on your merry way? Guess I am asking what exactly happens at the POE.

She can join you in the US Citizens line but NOT at global entry kiosk line. My husband has global entry and I do not, I am not eligible to pass with him in the GE dedicated line (I am the original USC) this has been my experience at 4 airports. Before getting GC, he was able to pass in USC line with me "most" times when we traveled together.

I always used the USC line with my previous visas and with the K1 too with my son who is a USC. I was always telling the person directing us to the lines that he was a citizen and i wasn't and they always directed me to the USC/resident line.

Also before my son also got his passport from france, i was always able to get him through the French/European resident line with no issues.

Not sure where to post this in forums.
My fiancee will return to US with me, she has K1 visa.
Does anyone have experience trying to bring her in the line, with me, at Global Entry kiosk??
Not looking for speculation, just if anyone knows if it is allowed or not.

Also, as a side note, you cannot bring non-Global Entry / Trusted Traveler / NEXUS folks through those lanes without possibly forfeiting your status.
