At the time this POE seem exceptionally easy and I should have know better and insisted on the proper procedure. I did a land crossing at the Peace Bridge, Buffalo, NY. I told the officer directly that I was coming in on a K1 Visa and has my paper work with me. He verified that I was moving and that everything in my vehicle was mine. He did this twice. He asked if I was importing my vehicle and I said i was and he advised that I can do it at the Charlotte airport POE as well. He said, “Okay we are all good!†I asked him if he needed my packet and he said “noâ€. This was confusing and I mentioned that wouldn’t he need to in order to enter my I-94. He said I didn’t need it.... fast forward 2 weeks and waiting for my I-94 so i could get my SSN and further my drivers license and get the joint accounts up... I learned that the officer entered me as a B2 visitor and has to head to the Charlotte airport with my sealed packet so CBP could enter my enter manually. This cause quite the issue as when I went to got me SSN, the system now showed me as entering twice with difference visas on the same day. I was also told that this would’ve caused issues down the road for AOS. So lesson learned, insist and demand the proper procedures!
