Going to houston with baby and fiance

[iluvnoodles 0]

So my journey ends this Wendsday. My fiance and baby girl 3 months old will be with me during this trip back home. I just wanted to know what going to happen at the airport. not hobby, but one in north houston not sure the exact name. I know shesgoing to be taken into a interview type room. Will I be able to come with her?

Should I just wait with her in the visa and green card holder line, instead of waiting in the U.S citizen line? Thanks for the help guys. Mybaby girl has a us passport she has a K1 visa.

I have photos of the walkthrough of Intercontinental (as its called by locals) linked in my signature, if seeing what it looks like might make you more comfortable. If you'll be driving in Houston, the video link explains a little bit about our local roads at the end.

From what I understand, since you have a citizen passport and visas, you can pick whatever line since you'll be together. I would, personally, pick the the shortest. When I flew in last time, that was the visa holder line. After y'all have your documents checked, there is an area on the other side. That is supposed to be where she is checked. Others have written that they waited for the visa holder at the end of the way by the escalator. If you go down, you can't come back up. The luggage claim area is below and you could wait there for her with your belongings, if you want.

The wait could be as long as 2 hours. The average times are cited (another link is in my signature below--for processing times)so you can have some vague idea about how long. Take some magazines. Seriously. It would be a good idea for both of you.

After you get back together and have your luggage, there is a last customs checkpoint. Then you have the option to head back into the airport to catch a different flight or exit. The exit is into a room that is not too big where someone could be waiting for you.

If you have any questions about Houston itself, please feel free to ask. I am a transplant here myself so I might be able to help you out.

I am very excited for y'all. And jealous!
