Hello everyone,

Next month I will be returning home from Kyrgyzstan with my fiancee and her 11 year-old daughter. I have gone through immigration in the U.S. many times before, but only by myself. What do I do this next time? Do I stay with them, and all three of us go to a special line? Or, do they go to a separate area? Am I supposed to be present with them when they hand their visas to the immigration officer?

Your help is appreciated....

Your Fiance and her daughter will go to the special line for non citizen while you'll be on the other line if you are a citizen. You don't need to be with them unless they allow you to. Good luck!

YOU GO WITH THEM!!!

As a US Citizen, you can go through either line... but in this case, if you go through immigration, you will not be allowed back in and have to wait for them to clear immigration.

Stay with them, and go to the "Immigrant Visa" line, or ask and officer when you first enter the immigration area where do people with immigrant visas (or K-1 visas) go. (Technically the K-1 is NOT and immigrant visa, but you will be processed with the other immigrant visas).

We had to wait 45 minutes to get through immigration.

Thanks to everyone for their help. Just to add a little info--our POE is JFK. And another question--I've read that at JFK my fiancee would be able to apply for a temporary 90-day work visa--is this true? If so, how would she go about it?

Thanks again.
