We arrived in Fort Lauderdale (Hollywood International Airport) at 5:30 a.m. we waited in the immigrant line for nearly an hour. The first agent we made contact with did not speak spanish. Fortunately, I speak spanish and I was able to offer assistance while the agent studied our documents and collected digital fingerprints from my wife. Afterwards, we were sent to a small waiting room with several other immigrant families. There, my wife had to sign another form and leave an ink fingerprint. When we were free to leave, I realized that the agent had not given back any of our original documents..ie birth certificate, marriage document; which I was told would be returned by the NVC. I asked the agent to return my wifes original documents. The only document he was willing to return was our marriage document from Costa Rica.
I recommend for those of you following the same path, to obtain several originals as back-up, as in my case, the original documents I sent to the NVC.
Good Luck |

POE at Ft. Lauderdale airport, moderate visitors line. Both used the visitors line as expected by them. There were about 3 other people with first entry yellow packets. Officer was polite, took biometrics, told us we did not need to fill out I-94 and that we needed only one customs form, she kept the one for the first time entry resident and threw the other one away.
Officer walked us to a room for processing, there was only one other person there, two officers processing, they took finger prints the old fashion way, made her sign some forms, stamped her passport and told her she could use that as a resident card until new one arrives. Marked the expiration date Oct 16 2014 for her CR1. We were in there for about 10 minutes.
No harassment or search from customs.
Highly recommend using FLL as POE for Miami/Broward not the Miami airport.
Home, happy. |
