I am in the process of booking my tickets to the US. Just wondering if anyone can tell me how long to allow between the international leg and the domestic leg? Is it the normal 2hrs or do I need to allow for more time to get through immigration with my K1 visa?

I strongly recommend three hours minimum when trying to clear a POE. I've now spent three extra nights in hotels just in the last two trips, due to late departures. It's not so bad for me personally but when people are meeting you and you're anticipating a sweet reunion, missing connections is the last thing you want.

Agreed. We typically take about a 4 hour layover (or more) to also allow us time to eat and "stretch our legs" a bit.
