Hi there,

I am glad to announce that my K1 journey is (almost) over. Visa received today, 2 weeks after the interview.

My POE will be Chicago O hare on friday july 5th.

I bought tickets today with a layover in Dublin, i thought i would go through pre clearance customs there but just found out that Chicago flights don't get the pre clearance (why??)

I am a little anxious. You know last time i entered the US i was denied entry upon using an invalid ESTA. I am afraid that even with my K1, they will give me a hard time because of my previous records.

I am trying to stay positive, the visa interview went well even though i was strongly questioned on what happened last time and my overstay on the VWP. The visa was issued with no AP so why am I worrying. Because i am a woman as my fiance says. headbonk.gif

I have read on VJ that the Chicago POE was very low for hassle.

You will be fine Lola. Relax and think positive.

There is no reason why they would deny you with a valid visa. You did everything by the book this time. So don't stress :) They might ask you a few questions and be tough on you, like at the interview, although I doubt it. But you went through the interview, you will go through this, no problem :)

Good luck in your visa journey!

From the day we sent I-129F to the day I recieved my K-1: Exactly 9 months
