Seems like you got someone who was completely inexperienced, and who tried to hide it by being rude and demanding. When I went through I was also standing in I think two different (but short) lines before I was directed to the incorrect window, had to stand in a third line, and then someone reluctantly took my case and opened my envelope. I wonder how unusual K1s are.

Yeah sounds as if they are unusual!! Or they’re just lazy, lmao

So I wrote my JFK POE review and it’s on my profile. It was the WORST POE I’ve ever had through JFK. It’s a good read if you’re curious as to how that went. 

WOW

Right? Unreal, lol!

Wow is right! We arrived on the same date, but my POE was Dublin via pre-clearance, but since I was in secondary for over 1hr30m, I nearly missed the flight! Immigration sucks everywhere!

My husband came thru JFK and he was out in 45 minutes from the time the plane landed; they took his envelope stamped his passport and said welcome to America. I think it's an ####### who wants to make someone's day as shitty as he is.

I'll second that, I still can't believe they didn't refused me entry into Jamaica after losing my cool with the Immigration office.

They really, really do. After the #### we have to go through to even get to POE, they should be nice to us and not make our lives hell! Lol

He was a real bad officer. But from just observation alone before seeing him, he seemed nice. Haha jokes on me - either way! I’m here so all is good

Yeah, it's funny how you forget all that #### once you're here and planning a wedding! 8 days until ours, and I'm only starting to fill out the AOS paperwork. How long did it take you guys?

It took us about three weeks , because I wanted to have a clear understanding of the instructions.  It is very overwhelming once you start putting it together. At least for me

Hey, anyone who's had any experience with getting a learner's permit for driving (before EAD/AP/AOS approval)? I thought I couldn't do that yet but when I checked the NYS DMV website it seems that the requirements are the same as for getting just a state ID (which is what I was initially going for).

I’ve actually been looking into this too. I already have a UK license and thought I couldn’t get one here until after AOS but I’m reading different?

Not on AOS yet! (If you meant me!) we’re getting married on August 31st. Awww. Happy happy wedding day 💛💛💛

I was looking into it just yesterday and it seems once you have enough proof or can prove who you are you can get a learner's permit.  But we are planning on visiting them next week, so I'll have more to say after that.

Yes exactly. I didn't have enough proof when I first looked into it but now that I have bank statements and renter's insurance, I think I qualify. I just thought it might be a good idea that when I go there I know what I'm applying for since there's like a 10 question test for the learner's permit 😄
