After we've landed in Boston Logan airport, I made my way to the immigration counters. I didn't head there immidiately as I needed to freshen up before I meet my husband so used the ladies room first, didn't rush there as I brushed teeth, applied make up etc. (May sound trivial but I assume meantime my flights passengers probably had a large queue at the immigration desk area). The airport immigration desks were fairly empty when I got there. Most of the US citizens (Probably all) use the electronic entry system (which is gate like - like how it's in train/subway stations) I then asked a security officer which queue should I be heading to just to make sure. I was directed to the correct counter, waited for around 2 minutes or so then I was next in line.
The middle-aged officer was friendly and had a smile as I handed him my sealed envelope, as well as medical report. I offered an explanation that I'm here with an immigrant visa to be with my husband. He smiled and handed my medical reports saying "I'm gonna let you hold on to that" He asked basic questions like, Where will I be staying, confirmed address to be sure that my GC will be going to the right address (well that's another story) I was also asked if I had bought any food with me, and how much cash I had on me. My biometrics were taken and he slightly stood up showing my passport explaining how my visa sticker with the stamp will be a valid temporary GC till the real one arrives. Meanwile I can use that for now. He then welcomed me to America and I wished him a nice evening.
Luggage area was nice and efficient, I was able to gather all my belongings in the span of 5 minutes. There were officer with cute dogs (seruisly cute looking canines - not your typical wolf like dogs) walking around bags and suit cases, when the dog was around mine, it totally ignored my cases and moved on. But when a few meters away and was sniffing away at another passengers suitcase. The lady officer then asked if she could take a look at their bags. So I guess some checks depends if the cute ceatures get interested in your belongings.
Headed out and met my husband and his family. Praise Almighty, together at last! :) |

First I stood in the visitor line for about 20 minutes. The officer asked what the purpose of my visit was and after I told him I arrived on K1 visa, he told me to wait as they process those visas in a different room. After couple of minutes wait they showed me where the room was. No cellphone use allowed in the room. There were about 30 people waiting before me. I believe I waited for about an hour before my name got called. The officer opened the sealed envelope and quickly glanced through the documents. The officer asked the purpose of my visit and when would I get married. He reminded me that I had to get married before 90 days was up. After those two questions he stamped my passport. Over all things went very smoothly, just the wait was a bit nerve-wracking. |
