My fiance is flying to me with a K-1 on May 23rd. She is going from Manila - Nagoya - Detroit - Texas

She is very nervous and has never left the country before. I tried explaining what to do in the airport. Can anyone give a nice step by step instruction (what she needs, how to get through customs, what they ask)? Also how can she reach me by phone once she leaves Manila? Do the payphones in Nagoya allow you to enter money for international calls? What about the payphones in Detroit? Can she call me?

Many Thanks

I thought in the PI they have a course for people to go through that explains all this?

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Try to tell her to relax. Remind her that she can ask people in the airport for directions. I don't know what payphones are like in PI, but the countries I've traveled to, they have been very different than US payphones. I think she could just ask someone in the to borrow their cell phone for a quick call or you could mail her a prepaid phone a charger, that will work once she's in the US.

I have often called my hubby from payphones in US airports, you need four quarters and dial the number with a 1 first (ie 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx). You get about 4 minutes and they often accept incoming calls, so you can call her back to save her money. They sometimes do not work though, so if she tries one and no luck, she should try another, I'm sure there'll be one that works.

Why don't you fly to Detroit and meet her there as she comes out of customs?
