My POE experience was pretty uneventful. They were quite busy, so it took a long time. I think I was there for nearly 3 hours, but most of that time was spent sitting and waiting. The officer who was processing everything for me had never dealt with a CR-1 before, but he was really nice and polite and thorough. He checked lots of details with his supervisor, and while that added to the wait, I appreciated that he took the time to verify that everything was being done correctly so that I wouldn't encounter any problems down the road.
He gave me a copy of the form I have to send in if I change my address and explained it. He also gave me a copy of the I-751 form and said I'd need it eventually but he wasn't sure of the details. Heh.
I also imported my car and that was pretty simple, too. The officer filled out the forms for me, so all I had to do was provide him with my car registration and compliance letter and sign the forms. He then made a few sets of copies of everything for me.
It wasn't a bad experience at all. |

Wasn't asked a single question. Since we got the U-Haul late, we got to the border at 1:45AM. Maybe he was just too tired. All went well :) |

We waited about an hour before being seen, and the typically incompetent border guard spent a good 30-45 minutes asking me the same questions over and over. It was quite obvious that he had no idea how to process a K-1 visa. Irrelevant questions such as "where do you work?" "How long will you be staying?" "Where are you going to be working?" "So, what company do you work for now?" over and over again. He couldn't have cared less about me entering on the visa, couldn't have cared less about the contents of our truck (he took one cursory glance at the itemized list of contents I gave him before handing it back), all he wanted to know about was where I was working, and where I was going to work. Once he finally gave me the I-94 and took my $6 fee, he told me to make sure I didn't lose it, because I would need it if I left the US and wanted to re-enter. Never mind the fact that K-1 visas are only good for a single entry!! Typical idiocy and incompetency. The USCIS quite obviously puts the bottom-feeders on border duty. |
