Hi there,

I am traveling outside of the country and plan on using my AP to re-enter the US.

My question is, what do I say when asked the question at POE, "What are you doing in the US?"

In the past, when I had an H1B, they were quite particular about the answer you gave to this question. For example, they get upset if you say "I live in Seattle".

So, do I say, "I am visiting my husband?", "I am waiting for pending AOS filing?", "I am attending my GC interview?" or "I live in Seattle with my husband?". Would saying the last thing be bad?

I last entered the US as a tourist, before I became engaged and married. I am a Canadian and no stamp or I-94 was given in my passport. Is this a concern?

I would also appreciate if other Canadians in similar situations share their experiences when using the AP to re-enter into the country, so I know what to expect.

Thanks for your time and your help!
