Once K1 visa is given

[AlejandroEsther 1]

Once my fiancée is given his visa does he have to fly straight to the USA, or can he go to Mexico then to the USA??
So I can know how to purchase my ticket? Through California then MIA then Cuba or California then Mexico then Cuba. HELP PLEASE need advise

He can travel anywhere he wants to. Just keep in mind the K-1 visa is a one-time entry visa. What he does before he gets here doesn't really matter. Once he uses the K-1 visa to enter the USA he can not leave without the AP card or a GC. If he does, he will not be allowed to re-enter.

Personally, I would wait and purchase the ticket until the visa has been approved.

As to where to fly, I would chose the cheapest route, so that would depend on the itinerary. I would not go through another country unless it was necessary

Thanks the reason I ask cause I live in California and the two options to fly to cuba is either Miami or Havana and I don't want a conflict when I have to purchase his ticket when am coming back through mexico once we get to usa border by flying through mexico

Thanks but I will not be purchasing his ticket yet due that I want to wait after the interview But if he wont have a problem flying from HAV to MEX then to California that would be easier for me. I just don't want him any conflict by flying that way. if the Visa he receive is to enter the USA and he can enter through mexico will be fine

Cubans need a visa to travel to Mexico. He should fly directly to the US.

And if he does fly through Miami, make sure to leave 4-6 hours between flights. He will most likely have to wait 3+ hours at immigration.
