It has been more than two weeks since I arrived here in Virginia. My hubby and I would like to share our experience. We hope it will be useful for someone who will be traveling either alone or with their loved ones.
We left the Philippines on November 4th and traveled through Guam- Hawaii-Newark-Richmond
Anyway, when we arrived at Guam, we looked for the immigration before heading to another gate for our connecting flight. We were walking briskly since we only have an hour and 20 minutes before our next flight. We were first in line! The immigration officer asked for my packet when I showed her my passport. She called someone and a lady approached us and were asked to go to another room. In this room, she photocopied my passport and did more on her computer. (Now, I don't know who filled out my information for my I94). We sat for few minutes and we were called. She emphasized that we need to get married within 90 days or else I will need to go back home.
After this, we looked for our gate but it was not that easy since we need to go to the security first. Everyone will undergo security. My ticket to go to Hawaii has "SSSS" (Secondary Security Screening Selection)in it and so the TSA needs to check carry-on bags and additional inspection on me. Luckily, we arrived on the next gate on time and I was able to talk with a filipino.
When we arrived in Hawaii, there will be a shuttle bus going to another terminal so you can get your luggage and check them in again. It is tiresome but this is a cheapest fare and allows you to stretch your legs in between flights. (Manila to Guam is nearly 4-hour trip, then Guam to Hawaii is a 7-hour trip, Hawaii to Newark is a 9.5 hour trip)
I also would like to include here that when I printed my I94, my date of entry was on November 4th (Hawaii Time). Remember that it was in Guam where they physically took my packet, the local date then was November 5th. |

I flew from Sydney, Aus to Vegas via Hawaii.
POE - Honolulu, Hawaii. I arrived at the airport and as expected I knew the lines were going to be long. Because it was crowded I wasn't sure which line to go to for K1 visa holder so I just took one of the lines in front of me. When I arrived in the line I told the officer what visa I'm on and that I wasn't sure if I'm supposed to be in this line. The officer then told me that there's one for K1 visa holders and he called one of the officer to take me to the US citizen line. When we got there he said 'just follow me, we're not lining up'. We cut in line and just walked right up to the window and the officer told his colleague I'm on a K1 visa. So I gave my envelope and passport to the gentleman that's behind the window and smiled. He said he rarely deal with K1 holders and had to ask one of his colleague to refresh his mind. I thought it was funny and we both laughed. He opened my envelope, had a quick read through everything and said 'looks good to me' and stamped my passport and wrote a date on it and told me I had 'til 28 Jan to marry or leave. He gave me my passport back and kept the envelope and said 'that's it, you're done'. The only thing he asked me was where in the U.S. I'm going to live and that's about it really. The officers were very nice and helpful.
When I arrived at Vegas Airport I didn't have a problem either and no one check my passport or anything. So I just went straight to the baggage claim and picked up my suitcases. |

The Honolulu entry was a breeze. There was a few minute delay waiting for an officer to help us. One came over and took the paperwork and entered information in the system. The second "supervisor" that completed the process just asked a few questions and reminded us of the 90 day requirement to marry. Overall it took maybe 15 or 20 minutes including waiting for someone to help us. No headaches whatsoever. |
