Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me. My fiance, who is from Taiwan, has already received her cr-1 visa. We are ready to go the states very soon. My question is when we arrive in the states and go through customs..Do i have to go through customs with her? Or can she do it by herself? The only reason i don't want to do it with her is cause i want to secure our luggage. In our luggage will have some pretty important stuff...like wedding dress, etc. I just don't want our bags waiting out there for too long or risk some stealing our stuff.

please any info would be great.

Thanks!!

p.s. We will be arriving in America at the same time

She is your wife if she has a CR-1, a fiancee does not get a CR-1.

You will clear immigration from different lanes, then after you clear immigration you can secure your luggage, clear customs with the luggage alone then wait for her on the other side to exit.

Congratulations!

No problem, so do not get me wrong...I was not trying to be mean or anything like that. I just kind of figured you meant 'wife' and not "fiance."

Tell her that she is very married... :D

I hope that customs/immigration info helps.

Not necessarily true. The person sorting the lines at the CBP area will direct you. Typically they allow the couples to go through the citizen/resident line together.

Ok, thanks for that...is that policy or just courtesy? Or was that your experience at your wifes POE? I appreciate your input.
