I flew Philippine Airlines (PAL) direct from MNL to SFO on August 8th, 10:30pm (PH) to August 8th, 8pm (SFO). Usual PAL, always late. It was more than 12.5 hours of travel.
On board, they gave us an I-94 Arrival Card and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Declaration forms that we needed to fill up. Already knew that I-94 is automated and could be retrieved from here (https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html) but still filled up the form anyways.
Lined up at the Immigration Line for Visitors since technically, I'm still not a US resident. Almost all CBP Officers were cheerful, it was refreshing to see.
I gave the CBP Officer my passport, I-94 and CBP Declaration forms along with my K1 Visa Packet. He asked if it was my first time in the US, I said it was my third time. He asked me what type of Visa I was on, and said a Tourist Visa. Asked me what type of Visa I am on now. I said I'm on a K1 Visa. He asked me if I already knew the conditions and processes after being admitted on a K1 Visa and recited to him that I have 90 days to get married to my petitioner and to file my AOS, EAD and AP. Then I'd get my 2-year Conditional Green Card. Also, told him that when my Green Card is about to expire, I'd need to file for ROC. He said he was pleased that I was on top of everything and did my homework. :P
As for the misspelled City and Zip Annotation on my Visa, it wasn't a big deal. He just noted it. He accepted my Visa Packet but asked if I really wanted to include all the other stuff in the plastic (but outside the yellow envelope; There were loose sheets and lots of photos that came in with my Visa Packet but didn't bother to take it out, just my Passport). I said, Well, it came in with the Visa Packet. He said, True, Ok. Then took everything with him. He let me go and gave me back to CBP form to give to a CBP Officer on my way out.
Took about less 10 minutes all in all. Quite happy with SFO as POE. :) |

the immigration officer was nice,he is filipino and we talked tagalog the whole POE process,it was kind of relieved to me because he is filipino and im comfortable talking with him and asking some question, the POE was great no harassment or something.

I would say that I was handled in a routine manner. He checked if I looked like who was on passport, asked for my paperwork and took biometrics. I didnt feel harassed at all. |
