I’ve had exactly the same experience at PHL after a trip to Europe recently. The secondary inspection is mandatory and was the easiest/fastest part of the whole trip. Got a stamp ‘paroled’ with the date in the passport. Long story short - pending Vawa after royal J-1 overstay. ✈️ with confidence!

Yes, it means that on first sight your application meets all the requirements. In time they will look deeper and verify stated information. They will notify you in writing if they need anything else from you. Buckle up, if all is good after some time you'll get nice and shiny approval. As for 1 year validity - do not be mislead that your application will be adjudicated in that time. (I hope you'll prove me wrong!) Most of us receive Prima facie automatically for a year followed by 6-month extentions. Some have to request primas, some don't get any at all. It is quite random. There is no limit how many primas you can receive. Good luck!

Hi family, finally movement on my end. June 6 got a notice for request for additional evidence. Already did initial for good moral character end of 2020. Lawyer didn't get the letter yet, so I use my time to quietly freak out. Hoping for something easy like updated ID or something. Not mentally ready to open up wounds and dig in for good faith marriage, cohabitation and abuse. Any input from experience is much appreciated. What was your RFE and how you overcame it. Thanks, fam! Hope they are working on all of the 2020 and will push all the backlogged out as well asap. Timeline so far: 2016 Marriage to USC, we did not file anything together.
