Hey Everyone. I've noticed that when people start talking about POE'S it seems to be the same places over and over agaion. Tell me...is there a specific area that an immigrant has to POE at. My husband is on the island of Dominica and we anticipate his immigration to the US Virgin Islands in the next couple of months.

Where would he have to POE at? Could he just come straight to the USVI? :whistle:

7/12/2008 Filed I-130.

POE means Port Of Entry so it's not the same places. There are hundreds of POEs in the U.S alone and your husband can come through any of them for the most part.

So does that mean he can come straight to the St.Thomas, US Virgin Islands?

If there is a direct flight, and the airport at St. Thomas is designated an "International Airport" (which would mean it has a US Customs and Immigration section) then yes, that airport could be his PoE.

According to CBP, yes. (No first-hand knowledge though.)
