If Customs is looking at the I-129F packet, well, there's a big problem straightaway in that somehow your fiancee skipped right past Immigration. ;)

Immigration and Customs are NOT interchangeable. First, your fiancee will present her passport and visa packet when she goes through Immigration. Her passport will be checked and stamped with her date of arrival, and she'll be given an I-94. She may have to go to secondary processing; this seems normal for many K-1 holders and it's nothing to worry about. Most K-1 holders seem to report that it only takes a few minutes. She might be asked some basic questions or have AOS procedures reviewed. Her packet will be opened and checked for completeness, and then it will be kept to be forwarded back to USCIS for AOS processing. She won't get the packet back.

Then she'll have to go through Customs, which is a separate process for reporting certain goods or money she's bringing in to the States.

Abby (U.S.) and Ewen (Scotland): We laughed. We cried. Our witness didn't speak English. Happily married (finally), 27 December 2006.

Latest news: Green card received 16 April 2007. USCIS-free until 3 January 2009! Eligible to naturalize 3 April 2010.
