POE: Questions and Travelling Together Experience

My fiancée and I arrived together in Dallas, Tx, which was our POE. All during the flight, my fiancée was so worried about any questions and kept saying "I hope that don't send me back".

At Immigrations, I went in the line for US Passports and she went into Immigrants line. After a few minutes, an Immigrations Officer asked me if I was alone, and I told him no, that my fiancée was in the other line for K-1's. He took me to be with her.

After going through and having her fingerprints taken and handing in her visa package, we went back to the Immigration's area to wait to be called. We were there about 2 hours, and my fiancée is very worried. We were finally called and went up to the window. I was asked a couple of questions--where or how did we meet and where would we live. That was it. NO questions for my fiancée at all. Here she had been so worried and they didn't ask her anything.

I have read questions asking whether to travel with your fiancée or not. From our experience, it is much easier if you travel together. Not only at Immigrations, but waiting and transferring in other airports.

For us, we went from Manila to Tokyo, layover of 4 1/2 hours, Tokyo to Dallas with another 4 1/2 hour layover, and then Dallas to Corpus Christi.

Good luck and merry Christmas to all.

Yup, I traveled with my fiancee back from the Philippines, made things much easier.

POE is just like you described, nothing to get excited about, except we were first in line so no waiting ;)

Glad you are both home!

Have a great Christmas!!
