Girlfriend Lives in Guam

[Lainie B 465]

Well my husband always had to redo security and sometimes customs in Hawaii. I wouldnt say its always pain free. He always flew continental aka united the entire flight as well.

Customs, yes, because Guam is not within US customs. But not immigration.

And I agree, it's definitely not pain-free!

I'm from San Diego, when she did the united via hawaii going to mainland. what is the best airport option i can pick her up and her not going through immigration. LAX or San Diego?

Either one.

Either one.

oh good to know. thanks for much for the help. that means i can marry her here in mainland and apply for AOS right? hmm btw what areas in the US that has immigration check? or is it just customs?

Every US airport that has an international flight will have immigration. However the Hawaii to mainland flight is domestic. Domestic flight arrivals do not go through immigration. So she can fly into either airport, it doesn't matter.

thank you so much for your help. i guess i can have her flight here early next month. Does domestic airports check visa? coz she have Philippine Passport.

so we're gonna have to do the K-1 Visa right?

Reread what Boiler said.

H2B has no restrictions on where a person can travel to in the USA. She has already been admitted to the USA. She can travel to anywhere in the USA. She can marry you anywhere in the USA. Then she can adjust her status.

They might take a look. But her visa is not expired, right? So she has nothing to worry about.

it will expired in couple of months. but the employer will do the paper works for her for renewal.

Guam is a USA Territory and she can travel to the mainland and WILL NOT pass thru immigration.

This will be considered a domestic flight and she WILL NOT pass thru immigration.

Yes.

She can fly to San Diego and get married. No other visa needed.

Hi SWAGGG25,

How's it going? Just my opinion based on my observation(s), you want to make a big deal out of a small process. I say a "small process" based on the lengthy process(es) for most USA petitions....

Your gal is in a USA territory, for your purpose(s) she is in the USA. So, once you guys get married in Guam there is the AOS, adjustment of status petition/fees and so on... I do hope everything works out for you guys.

Thanks for the response, i understand. but my plan was to marry her in California.

Guys, one more question. after we get married, do i just apply AOS right away or do i have to file the I-130?
