There will be two lines at the port of entry. One for the US Citizens, Green
card holders, and another for the Visa Holders. The Immigration officer looks at
your passport, visa, and I-94 form,questions about the purpose of your visit, takes digital picture and digital finger prints, stamps your passport and
provide a departure date on I-94.
In some cases you will be sent for a second
interview. And if that happens do not panic.You are not alone and there are
many visa holders who go through this process each day. Look at it as a double check on
their part. As soon as you get in, the immigration officer will take your
documents and will ask you to wait as they pull up your immigration information. No matter how long the wait is , stay focused and relaxed. And when it’s your turn, wish
the officer with a smile.Answer to their questions slowly and confidently. Do
not over talk, just answer to the point. All they want to know is how long you
are going to stay in the US
and why. No matter how many times and how many ways they ask you the same
question reply patiently and provide the required documents/proof.
Despite your long stay in the US , anticipate and be prepared for this every time you fly out of the country and come back to the Port Of Entry on a Visa.
