Port of Entry on EB2

[GC556t 3]

Hi All,

My immigrant EB2 visa got approved but they denied my wife's visa for which we are filing waiver now.

 

My question is my visa is EB2 and employer filed office location for my job position. With my wife's visa being denied and waiver taking long time, I am planning to live near border now. To make first time entry for immigrant can I go to any port of entry as I will not be driving to the original location my employer filed for hiring me but will be living closer to border area due to waiver process for wife. During interview before they gave my wife rejection I told them we will be living in the city near office. I will be doing my job remote as all my team is remote. Would it raise eyebrows to activate my visa and mention I am looking for apartment near the border and staying in the hotel or airbnb near border city while I search for apartment or should I not take risk and fly from port of entry to where my original company location is for the first time entry into the country? I just want to avoid any unnecessary questions regarding why you are staying here and other things. or Am I overthinking? Appreciate any thoughts.

Overthinking. All they will ask on your entry is what address the GC should be sent to. Cannot be a PO Box and should not be a temporary address so figure out what address will work .. could be a workplace or family or friend …. as long as their mail delivery is secure and they aren’t moving within 12 months

So they will not ask me where I am going? And if they do, can I tell different location then what was mentioned during consulate interview?

Sure, and elaborate only if they continue with questions about it.
