POE experience with CR-1

[orbitalpunk]

Hi ya folks. Just sharing my wife's and I experience entering customs at the airtport with a CR-1 visa packet in hand.

 

Well she went to the first customs counter for non-u.s. citizens and presented her passport and visa packet only. they did not ask for the X-ray or any health books whatsoever. They just asked how long she and i knew each other. then she was escorted to another desk with a different customs officer and there they opened the visa packet and went thru all the pappers. they still did not ask for the xray or any health books. she was stamped with an Alien number in her passport. she then filled out a form for applying for her SS# and green card. they said it should arrive in the mail in 2 weeks. also she was able to change her name right then and there and signed these documents with her new name. so her SS# and green card will already have her new last name. pretty simple. i was worried i had to reaply for the green card and SS# again with the new name change. but it was all done in one shot.

 

well that's all folks...

Glad things went smoothly at POE and even more glad that, at last, you two are at each others sides. Best wishes for a happy life together.

Thats great news!!! I'm so glad you have gotten out of this mess and have her by your side. Even if you do live in a small town (compared to her city). Mistie and I wish you a happy life together.
