Hi everybody I am a little confuse because I put OCTOBER the date of my intend to arive in the U.S on my ds-156 form..but i will leave for U.S SEPT. 25( I changed my mind for some reason) and I am not sure if it's a big deal or not? I also have another question. My port of entry is NORTH CAROLINA i am wondering because I have a stop over in DETROIT. is the IMMIGRATION in DETROIT going to open my yellow package or only the IMMIGRATION in GREENSBORO NC?

The date doesn't matter.

Your POE will be Detroit as it is the place you enter the US. The yellow envelope will be taken there.

If you have a connecting flight from Detroit to North Carolina be sure your layover is enough time to do the immigration processing. Be sure to tell the airline agent so they will know where you are.

No, that is your file that goes into the USCIS system.

Hopefully when you arrive, several other international flights did not 'just' get there. But 1hr/55mn seems like enough time to clear immigration and get to the gate for your connecting flight. Especially if DTW is not a busy POE as stated by another poster. If you miss the connecting flight (I would not be too worried at this point) your airline will make every attempt to get you on the next flight out.

I hope you have a pleasant first international flight experience.

No, you will not need to buy another ticket...they will just book you for the next flight. Just know that the airlines are charging for everything these days, (if they could charge you a fee for the oxygen you breathe onboard the plane and get away with it, they just might try it) so be sure and let them know that you got held up at immigration if that happens. There might or might not be a nominal fee to book again, they will let you know. The last 2 times I missed flights due to being stuck in traffic, they just charged a $50.00 fee to book me on the next flight.

But no worries, you will not need to buy another ticket. You will have a problem-free first international flight.
