So for those who bee nreading my topics in the last months or so i finally got the conditions removed on my 10 years GC it was a very long process as who had a notice of action since february 2007, i got an e mail from uscis on the 24 th september and at this tims all the little finally and I were in Frane visiting my parents. We had a great times and just to let you know we thought that he will be a piece of cake coming back in the US and it was not at all.... we got back yesterday, i had all the papers in my position, printed approval e mailed, original letter, marriager certificate, and also my expired gc and my passport, we got to immigration the guy was rally rude with us and stamped my husband and daughter passport, but not mine we went to a special area in a little room where an officer make us sit for like 20 mns without looking at us and finaly took my passport and talked to one of his co worker and just did not care he asked me why we went to France and all that and finally stamped my passport. The first immigration officer was so rude and let m know that the letter for extension on the expired GC was only for one year and in themeanwhile my husband and i took the extra step to go to the USCIS to get an extension stamp but he did not care about the stamp at all and really treated us in a rude way, also because my passport was in a nice little passport cover he said removed that cover now on your passport.

We are glad to be back but this experience at washington POE was the whorse.

I' m glad that my papers are finally approved and can' t wait ot get my new GC.

Rejane I almost have the same experience as u. My issuing visa was abu dhabi and boy when I landed usa the border patrol gave me such a hard time and was very rude to me. They asked me very personal questions and I got so nervous because they took me to a small room with bunch of border patrol went open my luggages and messed up my things. I could not forget that experience. But anyway, glad to hear your back.

note: My issuing visa was abu dhabi because I was in dubai that time.

I am a US citizen and I have been treated horribly more than once entering the US.

First experience was 4 hours long and absolutely horrible. Then some good and easy experiences, then some not so good. I went snowmobiling in Canada and was coming back. I really had to go to the bathroom when I got to the crossing because for 40+ miles there are no bathrooms and no place to really pull over. They would not let me go. They went through everything in the truck, ripped the covers on the snowmobiles, took the pipes off them, and more. After two hours of begging to use the bathroom, (NO LIE, 2 hours) I told them to let me go or I was going to squat right there, they threatened to arrest me, I told them it was no longer a choice. I offered long before that time for them to go with, leave the door open, watch me pee, whatever, they just made me sit on a hard plastic chair outside and watched me squirm while they went through everything. They never found anything, there was nothing to find. After telling them it was going to happen no matter how hard I tried not to have it happen, they let me go. I insisted on dealing with my sleds and my personal items which were all over an outside table and on the ground outside. It was truely a horrible experience which has left me with bladder control issues.

Since this time, I have learned to be matter-fact and not submissive while still being pleasant and courteous. They have been reminded that we are people just like them and they are not Gods. I have become friends with a few Border Patrol personnel and I know the laws; if necessary, I can remind them of the laws and give them a number to call.

What is really bad is I work for the Government, they had my Government ID, and more and I was still treated like this.

Someday, hopefully, someone will set some laws and rules as to how they have to treat people.
