Congrats! Now the fun begins. Good luck and happiness.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Avoid Atlanta!!!!!!!

Cary, why avoiding Atlanta? Could you please explain???

You dont need to avoid Atlanta. My fiancee and I went thru there as our POE 2 weeks ago. It is painless, but it takes a long time because they are a little slow. What should have been about 20 minutes worth of work took them 1 hour 10 minutes, and we were lucky. We were third in line, and they had the other two before us cleaned out within 15 minutes. By the time we left, there were about 11 people waiting behind us. Just make sure you leave about 5 hours between your connecting flights

Good for you. My fiancee was held up for over 2 hours. There were others held up even longer. It was a cluster f--k beyond belief in that airport.

I have no doubt that the people behind us waited at least that long. I would have hated to be the 11 person in line!

When we came through Atlanta (wow...more than two years ago) they were VERY slow. Of course it was a busy time, but it took more than three hours. When my step daughter came through Atlanta it wasn't so bad, just a little over an hour. Just depends....

Hey!

I have a question...so, the only papiers I need to show in the airport are embassy package and my passport? :yes:

thanx

I'm by no means an expert at this stuff - although in Ira's specific case, all that was needed was her passport and the embassy package.

One thing that you didn't mention regarding JFK and your experience arriving........did your fiance get her temporary work permit?

Yes, the work authorization is stamped on the stapled entry paper.

Sorry for the late reply... The weekend was a total wash with me sick with bronchitis, which really put screws to my online time - as well as to the laundry that Slim alluded to above.
