Can a CBP at an International Border passenger crossing ask me what I do for a living?

Asked by Oscar Carlo about 7 years ago

Yes. They can ask a range of question if it pertains to your admission into the United States.

I-131 is open to DACA recipients for edu, work, & humanitarian reasons. It is approved USCIS and clearly states recipient will need to be inspected and admitted to the U.S. why do officers act like they don't know what it is & threaten deportation?

Asked by Lola about 8 years ago

DACA is a relatively new program that was implemented in 2012. Some officers are unfamiliar with how to process them because they are slightly different than the normal paroles.

You are not guaranteed parole into the United States under this program, or under any other parole program. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers have the ultimate say at the Port of Entry when it comes to DACA or any other paroles.

Basically, USCIS cannot FORCE CBP to parole you into the United States. USCIS does not have the lawful ability to parole anyone into the United States, only CBP does. The biggest misconception is that the I-512 (Parole Document) is NOT a guaranteed parole. The easiest way to explain it is that it is a "request for parole", if you will. USCIS is REQUESTING to us that we parole you into the United States because you meet all of their guidelines. Now, it is at the discretion of the CBP officer to determine IF they want to parole you in.

Theoretically, a CBP Officer is within his lawful right to remove you from the United States IF that officers has the appropriate charges against you. However, will it happen? Most likely not. It would just cause internal conflicts between agencies. But it is possible and lawful.

If the state allows for law enforcement exemption to rifle restrictions, then yes you may qualify.

What are the houses like in the southern region I have a family and if I get hired and have to move them down there I want to know what the living conditions will be by the port of entre

Asked by Michael almost 8 years ago

It all depends on which areas we're talking about. San Ysidro Port of Entry is very different compared to Yuma, AZ. Your best bet would be to research the surrounding areas on Zillow or Trulia to gather fairly accurate information.

Asked by A random traveler almost 8 years ago

It is always wise to bring as much evidence as possible to show ties to your home country. The burden of proof is on the alien seeking admission.

Pay slips, mortgage payments, bank statements, etc.
