Our recent experience flying from Mexico City to Atlanta with combo card

[JohnE 57]

My wife Elizabeth and I flew home to Atlanta on March 1st from Mexico City after a vacation to see family. Unlike the problem we had when we left Atlanta (see my earlier post http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/479344-problem-with-combo-card-at-atlanta-airport-this-morning/

we had zero problems. We checked in at Benito Juarez airport in Mexico City with Delta and Elizabeth presented her Mexican passport and combo card with AP and had no problems. In Atlanta we got in the US citizen/LPR line together at the passport control area. Elizabeth was asked for her fingerprints and was asked how long has she been waiting for her green card. She received the combo card the first week of January and she told the agent we are still waiting for the green card. We were directed to the tripod area (secondary) and had an official escort take us there. The tripod area is just past the passport control booths and just before the baggage claim area. We were at the tripod area for 5 minutes and were called to the booth. They asked Elizabeth if she had any food she carried from Mexico which we did not. We were then told thanks and could proceed to baggage claim. Zero problems which we were happy. Now if we would just get some news about the green card!

God Bless
