I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
An officer can ask you if your single as part of the inspection and interview.
Unfortunately, I am not sure exactly if it is against policy or not to ask for your number. I just tried searching our database and couldn't find that. I did find a policy that states "We must make the utmost effort to remain professional in dealing with members of the public."
In my opinion, Officers that ask for your phone number are acting completely unprofessional. If they made you feel uncomfortable in that regard, please report them to the Supervisor immediately. Supervisors usually stand in the back and oversee everything, they have gold oak leaves, silver oak leaves, eagles, or stars on their shoulders.

It is not illegal to rent an apartment or own property in the United States. What you need to do is provide proof that you are coming here to take those exams. You may also need to show proof that you have ties to your home country, something that will convince us you will go back.

There is no SET procedure, it just depends on the Officer working the case and the Supervisors/Chiefs making a decision on if it would be in the interest of justice to just have them voluntarily return. Expeditiously Removing someone "Throw back" takes a lot more paperwork and a lot more man hours to complete, rather than a simple form for a voluntary departure. Either way, they are still getting fingerprinted and photographed.

You cannot get an ADIT stamp at the port of entry. You must go to a USCIS office to obtain an ADIT stamp for an expired/lost I-551. The officer at the port will verify your boarding foil and then grant you admission.

If your flight does not touch down on US soil at any point in time, you will not see a CBP Officer. Now, if your flight from Toronto connected to, say Miami, then Cancun, you would then see a CBP Officer.
