Port of entry

[Key 0]

Hello to all again,

I will be going home to the phils. with a greencard together with my hubby, mother in law and my 6 months old daughter.

I just had my belly piercing last week, we forgot about custom check and things and now we want to know if its a hindrance in coming back here in US?

OUr port of entry is in JFK and do u think they will let me take it off? is anyone can share their experience? or if you know some things with regards to this matters feel free to message me i will appreciate it a lot.

Thank you so much.

only if it will sound off metal detectors at the airport

If it sets off the metal detector, they will check you with a hand wand metal detector.

I have yet to see small things like ear-rings set off the metal detectors.

funny coz the last time i went back to phil, i was one of the chosen one, to use the body scanner and was held 10 minutes coz they saw a metal on my lower left chest... which there isnt no metal at all... i was pissed w/ mix of nervousness that i raised my tshirt and showed my skin (to the officers and to all the people in the airport lol) to prove im not hiding something lol... they finally let go of me but it was scary knowing im not an american (although hubby was w/ me) and i really wana go to phil that time. lol

good luck!!! if it rings the alarm then show your belly button. God bless!

I have several piercings and have never set off a metal detector.

You have nothing to worry about.

Thank you for your reply my husband want to do what u said since i just get it and not allowed to touch or even move it until 6-9 months.

We will just bring the papers of the company who pierce me to prove it is not good to take this off.

Have a good day

Thank you for the 4 of you who replied to my querry. Since my piercing is new my husband need to follow what piercer said to us that not to touch or move it until 6-9 months coz its not safe and prone to infection. He just dont like to have a prob in the future so just decided not to take it off and if it will bp the metal detector that the time we will tell them that i have a belly pierce and bring the paper to let them know not good to take it off.

My concern now, if they know i have a belly pierce is this be a problem in going back or entering here in USA? I heard from a friend that i can't or hard for me to go back or enter here coz of the belly pierce;-)

I am so happy to go back to my homeplace and excited but mix emotion of this pierce thing that makes me afraid i can't be with my two love one specially to my 6 months old baby:-(
