Port of Entry

[Carsten & Alyssa 0]

My fiance and I will be living in Dallas, Texas.  However, I am thinking for her to fly to Los Angeles, California and enter with her visa there.

 

Would that be an issue in any way?

Not an issue at all. Be sure to allow at least 4 hours if you are connecting to another flight.

port of entry doesnt matter.

 

as the other poster said, make suree you leave plenty of time between connecting flights.

 

another thing to think about is how good is her english and how comfortable will she be navigating through airports alone? if you are meeting her there, not  as much  a consideration.

As a former green card holder, my experience is CBP in LAX can be nasty.

 

SFO is a better choice.

Thanks for all the responses.  

 

When i had a green card I never had issues in LA.  Oddly enough I always Had issues in Dallas.  

 

She doesn speak English well.  She is just nervous to travel so far alone.  I’m trying to make things as easy as possible.  

 

SF does seem to be cheaper so i will definitively consider that.

i think it has a lot do with the officer. We've always had good luck going through DFW, our home town. SFO was good as well. 

The one time we went through LAX, the officer was a horses *ss.
