My fiance will be flying to the US next week. I just wanted to ask if the immigration in your POE will ask you the same questions as when you had your interview? I wanted to double check so I could prepare him for that. If not, what do they normally ask? Thanks in advance! :)

The CBP agents at POE can ask anything that they choose to ask. However, most K-1 recipients aren't given a hard time at POE, because CBP figures that they've been vetted rather recently by the consulate.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

TBone and "big words..." Mostly, people like my gal were just processed with her paperwork to enter the US. My gal, anyways, was just reminded that she needed to get married within the 90 day time period while the I-94 was still valid. I really don't remember but she might have also been told that she can apply for her SSC after 2 weeks, some people will tell you just 10 days, from entering the US. But, keep in mind, that your gal will need to apply for the SSC card before the I-94 expires otherwise she will have to wait until she gets either her EAD and/or GC. For some people, not applying and getting the SSC has created a problem in the past. Unless there "appears" to be a problem with her paperwork I don't believe she will be asked any "unusual" questions.

Best of luck!

Big words? :huh:

OP > Check the POE reviews for the POE you will be using. They may ask basic questions, like names, when/where you plan to marry, etc. They will most likely inform you that you have 90 days to marry. It is secondary inspection for entering the US, but not a complete new visa interview.

Normally they don't ask many questions, if any at all. They typically remind you to get married within 90 days, then smile and you are on your way.
