Good morning all,

I am looking at booking a flight for my wife to enter the US in Sept. I am trying to gauge how long of a layover we will need coming in. I have asked various CBP officers and some say it takes ten minutes for the first entry and others say an hour and change. What say you?

I would be flying with my wife and right now the flight I normally take is a little over a two hr layover in Atlanta.

Hey all, my fianc e was recently approved for a k1 visa and her flight is scheduled to arrive in the US from Peru on July 1st through Miami. She is freaking out thinking that CBP will detain her, or worse send her back because she has seen tik toks of CBP doing that to other US visa holders. Is anyone able to calm her mind a little (and mine too, to be honest) by saying what questions will be asked? We have a wedding date and location picked which I would assume would be the extent of their questioning, but can somebody confirm this? Thank you all in advance.

I am an American citizen born and raised. I recently assisted my good friend in applying for a B2 Non Immigration Visa to come to the US and visit me. She is originally from Nigeria but currently a permanent resident working and living in Doha, Qatar. We filled out the DS-160 properly and to the best of our knowledge, paid the for the interview, and during the interview she was asked 3 questions and immediately denied. I would love to know the reason why she was denied and what I can do in order for her not to get denied again. Thank you in advance

I'm new here and came here to explore my options of k1 or spousal visa. The first thing I noticed is that there are no upcoming interviews. Is the backlog in Nigeria this severe?

hello dear community, my spouse entered the usa (ny airport) with cr1 visa. She got admitted and they put a stamp on her passport.

This stamp only says CLASS: CR1

It doesn't have any expiration date

It doesn't have anything like "Upon Endorsement Serves as Temporary I-551 Evidencing Permanent Residence of 1 Year"

We need to travel and come back in october,

In october my spouses' cr1 visa will be expired.

If she doesn't receive the actual plastic green card, will we have a problem entering?

I am reading that most i551 stamps have this statement ("upon...."

any advise will be appreciated. thank you.
