long wait in the immigration office, like 1 hour, that morning was many officers, but none working, that was awful, we couldn't move to anywhere, mean while my belongings (including my cat) were looping on the baggage hall. |

UPDATE 04/22
I MADE IT!!! I'M HERE :) If you read on the comments, you saw I reported until right before boarding my flight. Everything went pretty good and smooth and my flight took off aroud 4.00 pm (on time). I was able to see from my plane, the coast and beaches I grew up in with a beautiful sunset as a background.
The next 3 hours and a half I read, play games on my laptop and chatting with the person next to me. At some point I lost track of time when I felt the airplane descending, that's when the pilot announces to fast our seatbelts because we were arriving to the Miami International Airport. Oh my!!! It was almost 7 pm but there was still plenty of sunlight and I could see the beautiful sunset over the houses of El Doral. I started crying very emotionally. The lady next to me asked me if I was fine and I briefly explain her our journey. When we landed I call my fiance and told him "Babi I'm home!!". At this point I've been awake for the past 14 hours and I just wanted to get home.
I landed in Miami around 7.30 pm on a Friday 04/20 (2 weeks after Easter so it was not too crowed). Get ready to walk a lot until you are able to see the immigration section. An officer randomly stopped me way before getting to the Customs requesting to see my passport and asking me the reason of my visit. After brief explanation he let me go. When I finally got to customs, the officer asked me for my passport and my k1 visa package, he made a few questions regarding my previous visit back 1996 and made a lot of compliments about my english, in general he was very very nice. He then proceed to walk me to the immigration room (This is something I was already aware of, so my fiance sent me a prepaid phone right after our interview so I could communicate with him during this time). When I went in, it was probably 8.15 pm already. The room was quite full, people from all nationalities just there waiting. The office handed my package another immigration officer and left.
It was not the most pleasant experience to be quite honest, there were at least 7-8 immigration officers and they were talking loud and joking while we were waiting there almost in complete silence. We were not allowed to talk to others let alone, use the phone so I just waited there. There were family with young children and babies waiting patiently while most of the officers were doing everything but work. Finally I see an officer grabbing my envelope and calling me. He opened the package in front of me, and I was able to see my entire k1 package, he checked a few things and then ask me to go and sit down again.
It's been almost an hour since I got there. A few minutes later a lady from American Airlines came in to check the people who was on my flight that was there to check on our luggage number, I guess all my 5 suitcases were there waiting for someone. She assured me my luggage will be right there outside. 20 minutes later an officer holding my passport called me and he asked me if I was clear that I had to get married within 90 days of my arrival (due on july,2012). I told him yes, and then he proceed to asked me where my fiance was (He was outside waiting for me). He then proceed to stamp my passport and welcomed me into the United States. Even though there were a bunch of people there when I arrived, I was definitely one of the 1st ones to leave. By the time I walked out it was almost 10 pm so I was there for probably an hour and a half. The site was kind of creepy because it was completely empty! No passengers/visitors and no immigration officers outside, so I rushed to get my luggage.
When I get to the exit, I was happy to see all my suitcases aligned one next to the other with a plastic thing with my name (what a relief) and the last airport staff was about to leave when he saw me trying to load one of those luggage cart so he helped. Finally at 10.15 pm I was hugging my fiance and ready to started our new life together. In general terms, it was a good experience overall, the waiting periods were within the time frame expected and the customs officer were kind with me to be fair and you will be ok as long as you can speak some English. I strongly suggest to avoid weekends (saturday and sundays) or holidays (the airport has way more visitors during these specific time) making your POE process way longer that it should. I also suggest you if you have to take any flight connections, to book the flight at least with a 4 hours spam or spend the night at the airport hotel and take your connection the next day.
We live in Broward so we got home around 10.45 pm and beyond exhausted. My poor fiance was at the airport since 7.30 pm so he had to wait for me for 2.5 hours. I literally cried when I got home and finally be able to meet the house I saw through skype for almost a year. It felt completely surreal to be quite honest and it kept feeling surreal for the next 48 hours hahaha. Today is sunday (can't believe how fast this week and weekend went by!!!) yesterday I went shopping and lunch with my fiance and today we went to Ikea to buy more stuff for our house. It feels like a dream I don't want to wake up from.
We are currently just enjoying each other and getting to know this beautiful country. We are planning to get marry in may so in the mid time we are just resting and having a great time. We are not quite ready yet, to start another process hahahaha so having a few weeks for ourselves is our plan.
