Thank you for that insight!! I’m excited.

Thank you. I did hear a few stories about the secondary inspection. It’s probably not horrible but the support probably helps.

Both are true.

Thank you, that’s very helpful. Yes. That’s accurate. And he’s African.

I’ve been with my husband before, just transiting through Germany for our next flight. We were pulled out of the line (the only ones) and asked about final destination and wanted to see our marriage certificate. so this is a major blessing for us to get to this stage so forgive me if I’m overthinking things, but it’s been a difficult journey.

My husband and I probably read too many posts online, but stories of going through cell phones, inspecting baggage, re-interviewing - asking crazy questions. Things like that we’ve read before. But that must be the exception and not the norm.

Oh okay. Thank you!! 🙏🏽

Thank you.

He’s from Africa and sometimes Africans go through more scrutiny.

Thank you. I’d love to be that support for him. Weighing that against almost $2k in travel expenses is a tough one.

His English is solid. I mean, he has a thick accent of course lol but it’s his primary language. I just heard of a couple of horror stories dealing with CBP.

Question: Is it better for me to be with my husband when he arrives at his point of entry and encounters CBP for the first time? I’m in the US but thinking of flying to him so that we can enter together and wondering if it’s worth it because tickets are so expensive right now.

Thank you so much!

Yes he is a resident. We both are. Since we have leased a place here for over 2 years.

We are building a home in the U.S., not his country. And for timing, we married after knowing each other for about year and half. We met when I signed up to volunteer for a youth program he runs in his country. We dated long distance for that year, then married. You’re correct. We don’t live together. But in 2020 we leased an apartment (in Barbados not his home country), because Barbados was closer to the US than his home country and he doesn’t need a visa for Barbados. So we chose a place where we can be together easily, I could easily travel back and forth. so, we share the Barbados apartment and I travel every few months to spend a month or so with him.
