Arriving at the Airport

Obtaining the K1 fiance(e) approval and then the K1 visa are just two steps of the K1 process.  All K1 fiance(e)s arriving at a port-of-entry to the United States are inspected by officials of the U.S. Government. This is the last step the foreign fiance(e) must go through before s/he can be reunited with his/her loved one. 

There are four separate inspections: Public Health, Immigration, Customs and Agriculture. You may only talk to one official who does all four inspections, or you may talk to more than one official.

When arriving at an airport, the airline will give the K1 fiance(e)  a form to complete while still en route to the United States, Form I-94 (white), Arrival/Departure Record. The form asks for basic identification information and the address where you will stay in the United States.

Upon arrival, the airline personnel will show you to the inspection area. You will queue up in an inspection line and then speak with an Immigration Inspector. The K1 fiancee(e) should use the lanes marked for non-citizens.

The Immigration Inspector must determine why you are coming to the United States, what documents you may require, if you have those documents, and how long you should be allowed to initially stay in the United States. These determinations usually take less than one minute to make. If the K1 fiance(e) is allowed to proceed, the Inspector will stamp your passport and issue a completed Form I-94 to you. A completed form will show what immigration classification you were given and how long you are allowed to stay. You will then be permitted to proceed to Customs.

Under certain circumstances, the Immigration Officer may decide that you should not be permitted into the United States. There are many reasons why this might happen (e.g., health, criminal history, financial support, past immigration problems). In this situation, you will either be placed into detention, or temporarily held until return flight arrangements can be made. If you have a visa, it may be cancelled.

In certain instances, the inspector may not be able to decide if you should be allowed into the United States. In this case, your inspection may be deferred (postponed), and you will be instructed to go to another INS office located near your intended destination in the United States for further processing.

If you believe that you would have difficulty through the inspection process, it is strongly recommended  that you hire an immigration attorney who can guide and advise you through the process.
