Does the VISA allows the fiancee to depart through HKG?

[ecwai]

Does anyone know if the K-1 VISA allows the fiance to take off from Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) instead of an airport in mainland China? I heard that they are allow to do so and stay in Hong Kong for at most 7 days, but have yet to find the source of that information.

 

Or does the fiance need to have a separate valid permit to enter Hong Kong to board a flight at HKG?

 

Thank you

The visa simply provides evidence that she will be allowed admission to the U.S.

 

The paperwork, namely her passport with visa and travel tickets, will allow her entry into Hong Kong.

 

The visa with airplane ticket will be sufficient to get her on the plane - they want evidence that she will be allowed entry before they allow her on the plane.
