CBP officer took care of us right there and didn't send us "to the back" which had 1.5hr wait since we had 4month old infant. The officer completed entry quickly (15 mins for the 3 of us) and very professional. wish there was a way to send a not to his boss... |

Entered at Seatac airport, went to the queue for people with visas rather than ESTA or U.S Citizens. I got incredibly lucky that there were only about 5-6 people ahead of me. Was called to a glass booth and asked for my passport and the white packet I received in the mail with my K1 visa. My fingerprints were taken, along with my photo and then I was asked how much money I had on me and if I had any food. It was explained that I had 90 days to get married and the date that my visa would expire if I didn't do that. The lady was a little abrupt but I feel it was her attitude from having a bad day rather than any reflection on me. I collected my bags and went to the second officer who wished me, "welcome home" and was extremely friendly and polite. A good and very quick experience (10-15 mins) overall. |

Border security at Blaine, WA (Peace Arch) was very accommodating and, in fact, glad to see us crossing the border and congratulated us several times. |
