Fiancee arrived!! Chicago POE
My fiancee made it to the US via Chicago last night. She was only with the officer 5 minutes. He looked at her passport, put a line through the Visa, stamped her passport, stapled the entry form, took the big envelope and said welcome and good luck. No questions at all. I was surprised to see her that fast.
But still, make sure you have a lot of time between flights. We had 3 hours between flights. Her plane came in 1 hour late. then we had to wait to go through the security check for an hour and a half. By time we got to the ticket agent, they could not check her baggage because our flight was boarding so we were put on the next flight which was also delayed.
But now that is behind us and she is here. Good luck to those still waiting.

Ok really really dumb question LOL...what is the part about the line through the visa? That's just showing she entered on it once already? (I can visualize my fiance thinking hey! what are you doing to my visa!!)

Re: Fiancee arrived!! Chicago POE
I guess that is what the line is for. No longer good for entry and the 90 day period was activated. I did see a stamp in there with March 11, 2002 as the expiration date. 90 days after entry. But we should have our AOS filed by the New Year so there is no problem there.
