I haven't emailed either of them yet as I thought that my petition may have been transferred back to CSC, but today I received a response from the TSC I-130 inquiries email address stating that our petition is still at TSC, so I think I will try emailing Mr. Badger. Honestly I feel a bit uncomfortable emailing an address that hadn't been published publicly by the recipient, but I'll just politely and sincerely ask for whatever help or information can be provided; the worst that can happen is that we get ignored, which is pretty much already happening.

With all do respect, if I took that route, my wife's petition would not have been expedited and at the embassy now. The only way to get anything done is to raise some Hell. Yes, it is unfortunate but it will get results.

Hi there, my husband (the UKC) was the one who made the trip here to the States. He said it was really quick and easy. It went something like this:

CBP officer: "What the purpose of your trip?"

Husband: "I'm visiting family."

CBP: "Where are you staying?"

H: "I'm staying with my wife."

CBP: "Is your wife a US citizen?"

H: "Yes."

CBP: "What does she do?"

H: "She's a teacher."

CBP: "Do you plan to emigrate to the United States?"

H: "Yes, we're in the middle of the visa process right now."

He also asked what he does, to which my husband replied that he recently graduated and is looking for a job. He then asked to see his return ticket and also asked for my address. After that, he pretty much just stamped his passport, put an expiration date on the entry stamp, and let him through.

Just another note for flying through Dublin: my husband took a Ryanair flight from Leeds to Dublin, and when he checked in at Delta (in Dublin), they asked a few questions that were similar to what the CBP officer asked. They also asked why he was flying from Dublin, and he said that the flight tickets were cheaper (which they were, because I was buying the tickets and the exchange rate is better from USD to the Euro than to the GBP), and they asked when he arrived in Dublin and wanted to see his Ryanair ticket.

Overall, it was very easy (easier than when he visited last year before we got married). He had all of our USCIS correspondence with him as well as a letter of financial support from me and a copy of my bank statement, but they didn't ask to see any of that. I think at this stage in the process, it really shouldn't be too difficult, since it's clear that we're fully invested in the visa process. I hope that helps, and good luck!

Good Job :thumbs:

Did he have a turist visa?

I used to think immigrant spouse using turist visa during I-130 process can complicate things

and he may get rejected on the port of entry.
