  1. @TedsGirl THANK YOU so much for the kind words 🙏😊 Yes, what an adventure! Netflix's writers can't beat a story like this! 😅
  2. @Family I actually read this post before my departure, and also during my flight to SFO, in order to rehearse what I'd say to CBP if I were sent to secondary inspection. I fully realize how lucky I am. I am very grateful for having a second chance 💝🙏🌟😊
  3. Dear All, I wanted to let you know I am now back to Los Angeles, CA! 🥳✌️🍀🌟 I landed at San Francisco internat. airport (SFO) on April 5 at night. I went through CBP, appeared in front of an officer, and... no question asked! My Green Card has to be renewed in about 2 years. Do you think there could be an issue renewing it after being out of the country for 4 years? Now that I am back to the U.S, should I apply for naturalization as quickly as possible, or should I wait another 4.5 years to do so? Do you think I can travel out of the USA borders again, and come back with no issue in the future? THANK YOU so very much to all of you for the outstanding support I have received ever since I posted my first question on here. You are AMAZING! VisaJourney.com is the BEST thing that has happened to me ever since my SB-1 Returning Resident visa got denied. I am HAPPY I followed your precious pieces of advice. With all my GRATITUDE & APPRECIATION 🙏💝 Anthony ~
  4. Thank you for the suggestions. May I know why not LAX please? Will it not raise any suspicions as to why I am not going to LAX directly whereas L.A is my home address?
  5. Dear African Zealot, I gotta say you have a point! This is why I am so hesitant in going back... I do confirm; I should have not filed for a SB-1 visa. But I did not know any better at the time, and in the middle of the pandemic, believe me, most people had other things to do than to answer my U.S immigration questions. I was left alone. Even the American lawyers I contacted then, and the U.S embassy services based in Paris did not do much, or nothing at all. You gave good advice by alway taking chances with an immigration judge. My problem was this happened during the long pandemic with all the flying, vaccines, office hours restrictions and local lockdowns. Thank you for responding to my post. Warm salutations ~
  6. Hi guys, If anyone knows of a good lawyer (based in or near Los Angeles, CA), who successfully defended such cases, please do share their contact with me 😜 Thank you so very much for your participation in this thread 🙏
  7. Dear Family, I actually filed SB-1 for that reason: to show and prove my intent of coming back home. I've always wanted to show good will and good faith in everything I've been doing. I believe in doing things the right way. I was in shocked at the embassy, when in less than 5 mins, the officer told me my visa was denied. I had all the pieces of evidence proving I always intended on coming back, even before my departure from the United States. Life is wonderful, but the system is often awful, and is not always in favor of the truth. Thank you for bringing more clarity to my case 🙏 Best to you ~
  8. Dear Kai, Thank you for sharing your valuable opinion with me. You're right, by doing this, the burden of proof shifts from my shoulders to the government's. It buys me time and allows me to be and live in the U.S lawfully. May Divine Justice helps us all Take care ~
  9. Dear Mike E. Your answers & guidance are by far the best I have ever received since this painful process has begun! THANK YOU so very much for being kind enough to take the time to respond to each and every question I asked in my original post 🙏 You are a true optimistic person, I can tell, but it also looks like you really know what you are talking about. During this process I have indeed learnt a lot. Here is my piece of advice for those of you who will be going through something similar: DO NOT FILE FOR A RETURNING RESIDENT VISA (SB-1). Instead, show up at a POE. As someone mentioned it in an other thread, the SB-1 visa is for EXTREME CASES like the LPR was in a coma or in prison outside the U.S, and couldn't make it back on time due to extraordinary circumstances beyond their control. I'm very serious. When I was at the Paris embassy, I appeared in front of the immigration officer last. Everyone before me got their Returning Resident visa denied. I will definitely keep you guys posted on what I will be doing. I have so much gratitude for having my post this popular, and I am very happy to have received quality advice from so many people. If a reader of this thread has recently gone through a similar experience, please bring in your light on this matter, this will be very helpful for many. "Knowledge is power" like we say, and I believe the people has the true power, or should have it. "All for One and One for All". I so feel like a Musketeer, thanks to you guys 🤗 ✌️ This forum has been so much more helpful to me than anything else so far (and I have been researching on the subject literally for MONTHS). I'll be back
  10. Bonjour Misscloud, You're totally right. I am still evaluating if it's worth it to do it this way. It's been such a challenge to make up my mind. It was one of my dreams to live & work in the U.S. Thank you for sharing your opinion with me
