My flight was from cebu to manila and then manila to L.A.i was so lucky that the agent from PAL arrange everything (btw, i have the same airlines for both flight so its a good idea if you will have your trip soon).we had it booked separately and save a lot of money rather booked it all at once.he gave me my boarding pass for both flights, had my check in bag transferred to L.A. directly and process my payment for travel tax in cebu (the agent gave me also the departure card and instruct me to fill it up and give it to the immigration officer).so the only thing that i have to do when i get to NAIA 2 is to pay the terminal fee and go directly to immigration (take note no questions ask,got my exit stamp).have to endure the 13hrs flight after.lol!i have to fill up two forms during the flight, the I-94 and the CBP form..got there around 9am in LAX, just follow the crowd and read the signs where to go.they had a lot of counters in the immigration area, just get in line for the visitors for those like me in K1 visa.there were a crowd already in line but i got lucky when they open a new line.got to the immigration officer, gave him my passport, the two forms and my yellow packet.he tore the packet and check everything there.instruct me on my fingerprinting and pic taken afterwards.he did tell me that i dont need to fill up the I-94 and he tore it up.he stamp my passport and told me to get married before the date he put on the visa.he then gave me back my passport and the cbp form and instruct me to go to customs for final checking.but you need to get your baggage first so just follow the signs plus the airline will tell you the carousel number for your baggage.for any other reasons, you have to go through customs,dont follow the other people who line up somewhere.you will know them by seeing their x-ray machine at the right side when you find the exit.gave them your passport and the cbp form.they will stamp the form then proceed to gave that form to the officer at the exit gate.FINALLY with my hubby!!!SOOO HAPPY!!
