POE question

[mhall16931 0]

Greetings everyone,,

Merry Christmas to all!

My fiance has obtained her K1 visa, and we are currently planning her trip to the United States from Russia

Her final destination is in Detroit, but, the flights that we have seen all have a layover at JFK in New York

My question is,

That would make New York her initial point of entry,,

would they open her packet there?

would she have trouble completing her trip to Detroit?

I'm not sure which way to go with this one,,

I can't contact the USCIS via phone,,

and they're not very speedy answering emails

has anyone had this dilemma before

and if so,, how did you deal with it?

thank you in advance for you help,,

it's very much appreciated

The POE will be New York at JFK, and they will take her packet there. Her next flight to Detroit will be a domestic flight, and she will not pass through immigration again. Just make sure she has enough time to clear immigration and customs at JFK before her next flight to Detroit.

Thank you Zedayn,

We have decided that she will only fly to JFK

and I will be there to pick her up

and bring her home

after all of the turmoil of getting this thing approved

the last thing that I want for her is to have difficulty getting here

so, JFK will be the end of her journey without me!

thanks again

JFK used to give Work Authorization stamp upon entry with a K1.

Many many people with K1 visas will have needed to take connecting flights upon entering the US. I have never heard of this causing a problem.

When I previously enterered on my J1 visas I have always had connecting flights and only ever gone through immigration at the first airport with no problems/questions after that on the domestic flights. Please try not to worry this shouldn't be an issue.

Good luck and congrats!
