Question about POE

[CaliLoVer 1]

When the K1 visa is approved. More than likely my fiancé POE will be Los Angeles. He's coming from Australia.

After hes finished with immigration. Will he be able to visit California and some other states? Or does he have to come to were I am (in Florida).

He wants to stay a day or so in California maybe go to Denver to visit.

Sure, he can do whatever he wants. There's no requirement to go directly to you, just to marry within 90 days.

Of course, He can choose any POE he wants, And even after your marriage takes place (90 days) He can still travel (Within the US, Just not outside it)

Once you are inside the US, you can go anywhere in the US.

The only restrictions on a K-1 visa holder is getting married within 90 days to the petitioner. The K-1 cannot leave and expect to re-enter the US without either advance parole (AP) or the GC. They also cannot work until they receive the employment authorization document (EAD) or the GC. Once the I-94 expires they are over-staying their legal presence in the US which is forgiven for spouses of USC. If your husband has not filed for AOS and the I-94 is expired, he might be detained by CBP should he get too close to one of the borders. Basically he is like any other non-immigrant with an I-94--i.e. think tourist visa--until he gets married to you.

As you can see, he can go where ever he wants in the US until he receives AP or the GC.
