What POEs are relatively less hassle ? Newark, JFK, Chicago, Atlanta?

Should my fiancee stand in the visitors line or the citizens/ PR line for immigration?

Karri - any progress on your end? good luck...hopefully it works out for you soon

Dilbert: We went through Newark and had no problem at all!! I brought Tarun into the USC line with me and when we got up to the counter I told the officer that I was the USC and he was my fiancee traveling on a K-1. He was really nice about it, stamped my passport and told me to go down to baggage and wait for him. I was a bit scared because I wasn't sure how long it would take, but he was literally done in 5 minutes. They took him to another room, attached the I-94 to his passport, said "you need to marry within 90 days, good luck and have a great life here" and that was it! So easy!

Karri: I know I said it in the other thread but I also wanted to say Congrats here too! You guys worked really hard and it all paid off in the end! Soon Sam will be with you and you guys have the rest of your lives to look forward to!!!!

We also fly Continental straight from Delhi to Newark (love the straight flight, even though it is 15 hours on one plane) and the weight limit is 50 pounds per bag which is about 22 kgs. You can have one carry on plus a laptop I believe.

lol Yup, the Continental is my fav flight too. Poor Sam has to be sandwhiched between two people for 15 hours lol. Thank you for clarifying the weight limit on luggage. I told him it was per piece, not in total per passenger and he didn't believe me lol. Isn't there a charge to have a 2nd checked bag? Let us know, I need to make sure he has enough cash with him for that.

They didn't charge us anything for his second bag now that I think of it (I've flown so much over the last 2 years that I have Elite Status with them so I don't get charged for anything). I just checked the website and it says the baggage charge doesn't apply for international travel. Here's the link:

What POE is going through? Newark was so simple!!!

Thanx Moksha. =) I did some googling and found Continental airlines office in Gurgaon, Delhi. I called them and found out that you can carry 2 suitcases free of cost ( 23 kg each ) and 1 carry-on ( 18 kg ). For more clarification you can call their following helpline number :-

Phone no : 0124-4315500

Address : Cyber Green, 2nd floor. DLF Phase III Gurgaon

Btw how is Tarun doing? :)

He's doing good...been driving a little to get used to driving on the correct side of the road. He got his international driver's license so he wasn't stuck for 6 months waiting for his greencard to be able to drive! It's starting to get a bit warmer here which is nice too...it's been really yucky weather, but that's what April in NH is all about! It will be hard for him to sit at home while I work though, he's going to go a little bit stir crazy I'm sure, but he knew that coming here so we'll just find places for him to volunteer and things for him to do and hopefully the time will pass quickly for him :)

Are you all packed and ready to go?
