Hello all,

my fiance has already has received the K-1 visa and planning on coming here to the US, i am planning on going to thailand for vacation and planning on coming back with him to the US, we are planning on coming through LA's port of entry. Has anyone had problems entering the US with your fiancee/ fiance; did they ask tricky questions; when coming back can i stand in the non-immigrant line with him or do i have to go to the US citizen line and wait for him to go through the non-immigrant line? I appreciate all of your answers, thanks you.

I accompanied my fiance and came through the LA port of Entry and we had no problems. They didn't ask any difficult questions only asked to verify info and check ID ask reason for immigrating ( to marry my fiance and live with him). I went with her in the line and walked up to the desk with her in case she didn't understand what they were asking. The officer just scanned my passport and then processed my fiance while I was there. We were done in a few minutes.

When we came in on her K1 at JFK, she accompanied me at the POE. Since then, I've entered at other POE and I always ask if I can bring my wife with me through the citizen line when she enters on her K3/CR1 (it'll probably be a K3). They always said the equivalent of what one immigration inspector said, "If she's your wife, you can take her wherever you want."

But I think he would expect a valid visa
