  1. Well above the threshold, out of the 5 years we've been physically present for at least 4.5 years counting time off for vacation etc Correct - I withdrew the application for family based and immigrated on LB-1 and then EB-2. All through work, no family ties. Why would that have an impact here?
  2. Just to close the loop on this, my mom came in through San Antonio airport (super small) and she was coming from a Mexico City connection (from Brazil) - Immigration was a breeze. The officer did not ask anything about her previous overstay.
  3. Hi everyone, My wife and I filled ours N-400 on the same day (June 16th, 2023) - she was called for an interview in about 2 months after, was approved and is going in for the oath ceremony this Friday. All in her process took a little under 3 months. We were hoping we would be doing this together but mine hasn't even moved to field office for interview, it still says under review. She even asked the USCIS officer during her interview and he said it's still under review and didn't have more info. I'm wondering if this is common and what I should expect. We have an international trip coming in December so I'm trying to anticipate what I might need to do. Thanks! Giuliano
  4. very good point, thank you! She's only staying for 3 weeks so hopefully they at least give her that but will definitely make sure we have a refundable flight just in case
  5. I don't think that's a fair statement. For one, you don't know the circumstances that resulted in someone overstaying (sometimes it's not simply the person's fault) and additionally, 10 years have gone by and circumstances can change significantly in someone's life in 10 years that does not make them do the same mistake twice🙂 This is a good point! she has been to Europe a few times (she holds a EU passport as well) but that doesn't get stamped within the EU but we could maybe show the tickets, the house deed etc
  6. I totally agree but how does one prove that? She has a home there, her sister still lives there, friends etc. She will most definitely not overstay again because she doesn't want to not be able to come and go to visit her granddaughter when she wishes. Would they allow her the time and space to articulate her reasons? Because her experience with consular officers is that they don't give much room and just go off what's on the application + what they believe but CBP might be different. I also know its 100% up to the CBP officer to allow her in hence my concern about a picky officer on a smaller airport vs larger one etc.
  7. Hey everyone, Feel free to move this to the appropriate forum if this is not the right place to post this question. Summary of the situation My mom had a 10-year ban because she overstayed her visa in the U.S. She served her 10-year ban and now was granted a B2 visa. She will be coming to visit me and my family in the U.S. (wife and I are LPRs, child is USC). My aunt was recently in the same situation and came to visit us. Her POE was Fort Lauderdale and she got the stinky eye by some immigration officers that didn't know what to do given her history. Ultimately they allowed her in and she came and visited us on a B2 visa. My concern is that my mom faces the same issues at the POE because she'll be entering the U.S. for the first time after the ban on a new B2 visa. Question Would a POE from a larger airport like Houston or Dallas be better than smaller airports POE because the officers would be more experienced in this type of situation? We're in Austin,TX and tickets are cheaper if she comes through Sao Paulo-Mexico City and then San Antonio. My concern is the POE at San Antonio airport. Would it be better to pay more and enter through POE in Houston or would she be ok even at a smaller airport POE such as SAT? Thanks all!
