Hello I'm an immigrant visa holder and my mom is a US resident. I'll be traveling on June the 5th to Chicago. I get there at 13:45. I need to fly to boston next. The plane for Boston leaves at 18:15. Will I have time to enter, pass through CBP, and get my bags in the meantime? Or should I look for another flight? I also heard that as a minor (I'm 17), it'll take more time for me to pass through CBP, unless I bring a paper signed by my parents. Can anyone tell me more about this? And where do I get such a paper from?

Show them your birth certificate and a copy of her passport?

I'm going to do that eitherway, but I'm most probably going to go through Qatar now.

Well I might be using the same flight 😂

Ok now I'm creeped out at how small the world is.

You are in Lebanon right? When is the flight through Qatar? Is it in June 5th?

umm yes, how did you know?

It is according to the type of immigrant visa you have. If you are an immediate relative to a USC/GC holder (spouse visas for example) then yes you can board the plane. You do not have to prove anything, your visa is the proof

My visa type is an F4 visa but my mom and brother went to the US already, which means they are residents. So my visa by itself isn't proof. I changed flights to hopefully transiting through Qatar anyway, so case closed ig.

Hello,
So I'm going to book a flight on 31 May to the US through Frankfurt. How do I prove to the guys over at frankfurt airport that my mom is a U.S. Resident if she doesn't come with me? I have an immigrant visa. Do I photocopy her passport and her green card, and get a birth certificate with me? That's what I'm thinking of doing.

I'm asking cause they probably don't have the immigration data that the US authorities have, so they can't know whether my mom is a U.S. Resident.

Other than they will know the origin of your arriving flight

True, lol. Is there any guidance that talks about layovers?

Only USC are guaranteed entry. Everyone else, including green card holders, are subject to a CBP officer's decision.

 

That said, green card holders normally don't get turned around at POE but I don't think anyone here can tell you for sure what kind of questions/procedures you might be subject to, even because CBP has access to your (and your mother's) immigration history and we don't, for one. 

Another question, since I'll be going through France but I'll stay in transit, not get my bags, and won't enter Schengen area, how would CBP officials even know I was in France? It won't be stamped on my passport. I technically wouldn't have entered the Schengen area.

Ok, thanks. I'm not a green card holder by the way, but an immigrant visa holder. My mom is the green card holder. But she won't accompany me. I'll have to bring a birth certificate and a photocopy of her green card + stamped passport to prove that she is an LPR and my mom.

Hello, I have an F4 immigrant visa. My mom already went to the US but she isn't there right now. She is an LPR and has received her green card and her passport is stamped.

I want to go alone to America through France now because my immigrant visa will expire on June 18, and my mom doesn't want to risk getting coronavirus, so she will stay here for the time being.

According to the trump proclamation, the proclamation doesn't apply to:

(v) any alien who is the child, foster child, or ward of a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, or who is a prospective adoptee seeking to enter the United States pursuant to the IR-4 or IH-4 visa classifications;

The ticket I want to book is Beirut-France-New York. But the layover in France does not involve checking my baggage. I just stay in the transit area without passing through immigration. Will I be considered to have been in the Schengen Area? And if Yes, according to the trump proclamation, shouldn't I be excluded eitherway since my mom is a US resident? I'm 17 btw.

I called the CBP multiple times. One told me to review the proclamation. One told me I'm good to go just get a photocopy of my Mom's green card and her passport. Another one told me that it is based on the discretion of the CBP

What do you guys think? Is there anything that I could be refused entry for?
