Good day! :)

My family (parents and sibling) will be traveling to the USA on December using their 10 year multiple entry US visa. My fiance and I are currently on the process of completing our K1 visa. Our I129F petition has been approved about 2 weeks ago, after a 2-month wait.

Should I have a K1 visa by then, I will be traveling with them. We are all from the PHILIPPINES and have traveled to the USA previously on a B1/B2 visa.

My question: Will there be any issue (at the POE) if I'm on a K1 and all three of them use a B2?

Thank you for your answers! :)

I129F sent: 5/11

NOA 1 : 5/18

NVC received/ case number assigned : 8/3

I'm well aware that we would be screened by a CBP officer individually. I was in the US twice but only as a visitor. I didn't know there's a separate queue for K1 visa holders? Anyway, thank you so much for your input! :)

B and K visas are both non-immigrant visas. You will line the same way but you will have to stay and have your papers reviewed at a different counter after. I believe B visas don't have to go through that counter.

You are screened individually and are individually determined which one can enter and which one cannot. There should not be an issue with you having a K1 and them having Bs. You will be individually determined for approval.
