Hello! :D

Finally reunited with my wife...never felt so happy in my life! :dance:

Arrived here at West Covina last Wednesday and was picked up by my wife and her sister. POE was at LAX and did not encounter any problems upon arrival. Spring has come and the weather so nice here... :dance:

For those whose POE is LAX, K-1 and K-3 visa holders should fall in line at the "visitor" counters which would be counters 4,5,6,7 and 8. 1,2 and 3 are reserved for immigrant visa holders (IR-1/CR-1). I actually went to counter 1 and was directed by one of the Border Security officer to go to either counter 7 and 8. Aside from that, i was ok all the way out. Processing was straightforward - i submitted my Visa Package envelope ("do not open" envelope), passport, filled up I-94 and Customs declaration form to the officer assigned at Counter 7. She just asked me the ff. questions: "If my wife was here at California", "If she was from Philippines too" and "If we have kids". I was done in like 10 to 15 mins...

Anyways, we wouldn't have done it without the help of all the VJers out here! Thanks again and i do hope you have a very successful Visa Journey!

Now on to AOS and EAD... :D

2-0. In favor of the boys.
