If you want, I did a walk through of photos the last time I came through. I made a blog page and a youtube video to show that pathway. If seeing these would make your other half more comfortable, look at one or both of them. Links are in my signature.

Welcome to H-town, Rocket City, and of course, the great State of Texas. :)

My POE was Houston (July 2009). No particular issues, other than it took a long time. The lines to get to the immigration desk were crazy (I landed mid-afternoon and there must have been a few international flights all land at roughly the same time). Took about an hour from leaving the plane to actually getting to the desk.

Like all K1 holders, I then got sent to the back room. That took a long time too - though most of that was just sitting there waiting. Finally I got seen and the officer was reasonably friendly. Fortunately I'd given myself more than 2 hours for the connection - if I hadn't, I'd have missed the connecting flight to Denver.
