It took 3 hours to get her out of JFK Customs, maybe 10 minutes of which was in processing.
Went to the SSA office with our Chinese Marriage Cert and her Passport. Added my last name to her new name. All good. |

I arrived at LAX on a BIG flight with lots of people so I was quite happy to stand in the US citizen line, which was significantly shorter :P
When I arrived in the line I pulled my envelope out of my carry on (HAS to be with you) and grabbed my passport. The gentleman I dealt with was very nice. He opened my envelope and I passed him my passport open at the visa page.
He had a quick read through everything, asked me about my medical (he couldn't find it) and I showed him where it was (by pointing, couldn't actually TOUCH the paper) and he told me I had the "all clear" (I knew obviously but it was still good to SEE it :P). He then stamped something and told me I had till Dec 11 2009 to marry or leave. He then stamped my passport and wrote the same date, and scribbled on my visa to "void" it. He also pointed out my Alien Number which I needed "for always" so I needed to note that. That was also in my passport so I will write it down somewhere safe and make sure my family and my FH has the number "just in case".
He didn't really ask too many questions. He might have asked when the wedding was but mostly because I was "pre-approved" and I didn't look dodgy I was just waved through. From standing in line to leaving the desk it was less than 10 minutes. |

My POE experience was pretty uneventful. They were quite busy, so it took a long time. I think I was there for nearly 3 hours, but most of that time was spent sitting and waiting. The officer who was processing everything for me had never dealt with a CR-1 before, but he was really nice and polite and thorough. He checked lots of details with his supervisor, and while that added to the wait, I appreciated that he took the time to verify that everything was being done correctly so that I wouldn't encounter any problems down the road.
He gave me a copy of the form I have to send in if I change my address and explained it. He also gave me a copy of the I-751 form and said I'd need it eventually but he wasn't sure of the details. Heh.
I also imported my car and that was pretty simple, too. The officer filled out the forms for me, so all I had to do was provide him with my car registration and compliance letter and sign the forms. He then made a few sets of copies of everything for me.
It wasn't a bad experience at all. |
