FYI,

SORRY not to post the details of Fathima's arrival for almost a day... I was "BUSY" , as you know ;)

Here are the details...

She arrived at 11:25PM on 07/11/2008 at Newark airport

She was out of the airport at 12:30AM on 07/12/2008

There were NO issues or complications at the Port of Entry.

1) She submitted the sealed envelope and the passport to the immigration officer.

2) He checked everything and stamped on the passport (arrival stamp)

3) He made her to sign on a document (she even doesn't know about that document)

4) Then took the fingerprint (only right index finger)

Then she proceeded to the check-in collection area and collected the checked-in luggages.

After that, she proceeded to the exit and handed over the CBP declaration form.

That's all, POE is over and it was super smooth :star::star::star:

So, wish all your beneficiaries good luck at interview and at POE :thumbs:

PS:-

1) No need to complete I-94 arrival-departure card

2) There were no additional interview questions

3) She proceeded to the immigration at Green Card/Citizens line

4) There was no photo capture

Just want to again add my congratulations to Loto and wife. And also repeat what an earlier poster said. Hats off to Loto, who so diligently tried helping everyone on VJ, while on the other side he had to handle his own case. :thumbs: and best of luck for your future.
