HI MY FELLOW VJ!

The St.Luke give an advise that we have to bring our our X-ray film on our port of entry ,even the counselling they encourage to do so but when the long process that i keep up dating and reading here i learn a lot of things base on the experiences of the other feedback vj here ,eventhough i have my cousin whose working in immigration law office she did not give me an advise not to bring my x-ray what i learn from here.During my wholeflight i dont have my x-ray film on my hand carry bag because it was very uneasy and hazzle to bring it with me so i put on my laugages bag and relax guys if the northwest check-in officer who check your documents and asked you were is your x-ray film i answer the question to the lady officer on my check - in laugage bag and she told me it should be i have to hand carry becuase she told me i need the x-ray on my port of entry , i'm very positive and confident that i dont need my x-ray in detroit which is my port of entry here in the U.S because i beleive on my research and my idea, i learn a lot from here that i'm wright and so far so good i pass the long line in immigration officer after i hand over to him my brown envelope and his checking my documents and encoding to his computer while asking you some questions like this ,when were you getting married,and he asked me about my job in overseas and why i been working of that country,and he asked me to put my finger for scanning and taking picture he did not asked me were is my ex-ray film , In the plane you have to filed up the form for immigration purposes to for your easy acces to the immigration officer

Its good that they did not ask for your xray film from your checked in luggages but I have read a thread here before with the lady who did the same thing and it took her hours in the POE because her xray film was inside her checked in luggage and the immigration officer wanted to see it. So you are one lucky girl :)

The immigration officer in San Francisco asked for my xray film. What I did was placed it inside the box where my wedding dress was which I hand carried so it didnt bother me at all during the flight.

To those who are getting ready for their flight here , my advice would be to always hand carry your xray film because you never know what an immigration officer will ask. Better to be safe than sorry.

Not all POE are the same.. Some POE can be really ####### about stuff...

My aunt even recommended me to avoid having a POE @ St Paul Minneapolis MN... They are very strict over there..

All I can say is just do the right thing...

They still have the rights to send you back home if you go against them..

To Point out the OP's title was actually clear.. Stating in Detroit that the POE is loose... :thumbs:

same here at SFO. what I would do is put it where it is easily accessable in your checked in luggage, just in case it is asked for by the IO.

Jenny was advised from St. Lukes in Manila to bring her X-ray along with her, just in case, they would have asked to see it. Of coarse they didn't.... in Chicago.

I still don't see the point of why a POE officer would ever ask for an x-ray. Is it like they will throw it up on a view box to see if you have TB or lung cancer :angry: Claudeth packed her's and had no issues. The civil surgeon was going to make her take an x-ray so we showed the one from St. Luke's and saved some money but that was the only time anyone wanted it.

That's my POE and it took less than 5 mins all in all for me to get the biometrics done and short interview with the immigration officer. I thought it was a breeze... My only problem with St. Paul Minneapolis is I had 9 hrs. layover. :wacko:

Same here... When I had my TB skin test here in our City Health Dept, the result was positive because I had BCG vaccines when I was a baby. They wanted me to have an X-ray just to make sure I'm not really a TB carrier. I was in the middle of putting my AOS together so what I did was took the X-ray from St. Lukes with me when I went to see the civil surgeon... he checked the film... made a notation on my TB skin test result... attached a form stating that lungs are normal... signed it and I got all the paperwork (I-693a) done for $50. It would have cost us more money to have another X-ray done. :whistle::whistle::whistle:

i wasn't asked for my x-ray film but I hand carried it just in case.

I guess it depends on the immigration officer coz a Filipino who had the same flight as mine was asked for the said x-ray on the next counter.
