POE Miami

[mercuryroad 0]

This may sound like a dumb question, but i'll ask anyhow....I will be flying back with my Fiance. When we get to immigration, is it cool if i wait in line with him? or do i need to stay in the "citizen" lines?

I stayed in line with my fiance in the foreigner line and then was told that we both could have gone to the U.S. citizen line which was much shorter!!!!

What POE did you guys come in by? That is nice I did not know you could do that.

It was Miami......For a second I thought the guy was actually going to make us go back over to the U.S. citizen line. He told me we should have gone to that line instead. I guess it makes sense.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Where was the secondary inspection?

I came thru Miami, and since I had only read bad reviews about it I decided to get a ticket with 5 hours layover in Miami (coming from Venezuela). I wont say that the immigration lines were short or any of the sort. But I guess the person organizing the lines knew something about K1’s or K3’s. I was carrying the X rays, so I guess he flagged me, he came and checked my I-94 for any mistakes, and sent me to the Citizen’s line which was SO much shorter.

The customs officers took my “brown envelope”, opened it, and congratulated me for my wedding, stamped some papers and sent me to secondary inspection. I got a lil’ nervous there, because there was a woman with a child, and a guy, the guy was getting some “lip service” from a couple of officers who didn’t look too happy. The lady and the kid were getting grilled with questions. When an officer signaled me to come closer I almost started crying. But then he started joking, literally joking with me about the wedding, about why was I marrying an American, and so and so. He proceeded to tell me all about the K1 and a lil’ explanation of AOS, stamped my passport, kept the mysterious brown envelope, and wished me good luck. All in all took around 30 mins or so. Not too shabby at all.

With all my nerves, I totally forgot to ask about the EAD stamp. But then again, some people consider it worthless. It isn’t too bad, I guess it depends on your luck, the quantity of people sent to secondary inspection that day, and the emotional state of the officers that day.

Good luck!

PS: I got there around 11 am... if this piece of information is worth something... on a Saturday
