Hey guy's!

My fiancee will be flying into Portland, OR, and I've heard some crazy stories with Immigration being pretty strict.

What was your experience, and is there any advice you can give for Immigrants coming to America?

We all want our fiancee's, wives, and tourists to come here with ZERO conflicts.

Thank you as always! God Bless!

We came in through JFK and other than the normal New York/JFK surliness, nothing to report.

We came thru JFK and the officer didnt even crack a smile; all he asked was 'when will your wedding be', and then he sent us to another room to have the paper work done. Once they got the paperwork done, then they called our names and said, 'you can go now.' Done deal.

As long as the packet is still sealed, it should be a breeze.
