CR1 Los Angeles POE

[becauseimVal 10]

Hi! I'm leaving in 17 days. I'm wondering what the procedures are at the POE  for CR1 Visa Holders. Will I have to go through secondary interview? Also, my husband and I have been married for 2 years now, will I be eligible for a permanent residency?

 

Thank you in advance!

If you have already been married for 2 years or more, you will get a 10-year green card.

Yes.. your GC will be 10years which will make you a Permanent Resident.

 

Safe flight to the U.S. and don't forget to drop your Poe review here.

You might have to secondary, but maybe not.  My wife did just because she declared slightly less than $10,000........they counted it, and sent her on her way.  Congratulations.....more than 2 year marriage means IR-1 and 10 year Green Card soon after arrival.

Thank you for the link. I’m just a little worried because I entered the US in October of 2006 under K2 visa (child of k1) and I was not granted a GC because the officer determined I was no longer elegible since I turned 21 during the process. So I voluntarily went back to my country 5 months after the decision which was in November 2007.

Thank you very much! I’m sure I won’t be bringing $10,000 for sure haha😂

You would not have been granted the visa if the situation was an issue.. your spouse visa is totally separate to the previous K2 visa, where you were not allowed to enter because you  no longer met the visa criteria.

I was allowed entry into the United States at LAX OCT 2006. Processed my AOS and GC interview in April 2006 where I was not granted a GC cause I turned 21 during the process. They made me sign an affidavit of withdrawal and made a final decision in May 2007. Went back to Philippines November 2007. So just worried going into secondary because of this.

It is not an issue with this. Your ineligibility for the GC previously was because you were not eligible because of age for THAT process.

You may very well have to go to secondary. But so what? Yes you may have to wait for awhile if it's crowded and then you may get 5 minutes or even 30 minutes of questioning on your background to make sure you are not a threat to security or public safety, but you should feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you have done nothing wrong, have successfully made it through the CR1 process that includes an FBI background check and a review of your prior immigration history to the US, and have an immigrant visa in hand that expressly gives you the ability to seek entry into the US to be a permanent resident. 

 

Enjoy your new life.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I really appreciate it. I guess I was a bit worried becaused I overstayed 5 months after the decision was made. I was able to acquire FBI Police clearance and submitted it to the embassy at my interview. I’m hoping for a smooth entry. God bless you all and thanks once again!

If the overstay had been an issue you would have been advised of that, told to apply for a waiver etc...
