Port of Entry

[jordin 0]

My fiance's Visa Interview is schedule for August 28, 2008. Once she complete all the paperwork in la havana I was wondering where will she be able to enter the US. Since I live in Puerto Rico and we are a territory of the US there is no fly available between la havana and PR.

Will my fiancee enter the US trough Miami, I was wondering. It is the first time she will take a plane and she will be landing at Miami Airport which is one of the largest airport in the US.

Will I have to fly to Miami to pick her up at Miami or will she be allow to purchase the air plane ticket from havana to Miami and from Miami to Puerto Rico, in the Havana. Or will I have to purchase the airplane ticked in PR to fly to Miami and purchase two ticket one for me and the other for my fiancee to fly to Puerto Rico the same day.

Have anyone in the forum have any expirience and advise me as to how to proceed to pick up my fiance.

Any advise will be appreciate.

Considering Cuba is a unique place, the question might be better asked of a travel agent in Havana... If she is able to purchase a ticket with an itinerary all the way to PR then why not.

It doesn't matter which POE she chooses to go through as long as the airport has an Immigration officer to process all entries. If your fiancée can find a flight from Cuba to Puerto Rico, then she can go through Immigration in PR, no need to go to Miami for that.

There no fly between la Havana and Puerto Rico. The question is whether once she arrive at Miami she must go thourgh INS and then pick up a fly from Miami to Puerto Rico. Or to put it in another words can she purchase a ticket in la Havana from la Havana though Miami and the a connecting fly from Miami to Puerto Rico???

Regardless, if she transits Miami she will be inspected in Miami. Period.

Hello Jordin,

I think the best thing to do is to buy her ticket to Puerto Rico from Miami. She can't buy that ticket from Cuba. But she can buy the ticket from Havana to Miami (only from havanna tur, not from cubana), it must be purchanse before receiving the carta blanca. Miami is a big airport and she needs to go to a different terminal to fly to P.R. so i suggest being there when she lands. be perpared to wait a couple hours to go through immgration in Miami. Good luck. Edwin

Oh I see. Then yes, I agree with Edwin but the wait times at POE in Miami can vary. My husband went through Miami when he arrived and it only took 15 minutes. It was fast and painless.
