Hi guys

My question is...what do they know about you at the POE? Do they know how many times you have been there, kind kind of visas you had before etc?And why do they take your finger prints?

Thanks a lot.

Of course they know how many times you have been and on what visa, the first time you go through customs they fingerprint you and take your picture so that follow on visits one finger print brings your details up straight away. Ahh heard of 9/11 fingerprints are done as a security measure as they can bring your info up as soon as they see it. To see if you are a terrorist or criminal status and so on.

They take your fingerprints at your interview. This way they compare them at the POE to verify you are the beneficiary. The U.S.A. has one of the most sophisticated databases in the world and maintains information at all who enter and exit the U.S.A. legally. They can compare and verify your information. And, yes, the U.S.A. does not want a repeat of 9/11/2001 and will compare your information against the terrorist watch list and any other bad guys.
