the sealed envelope from the consulate and your passport. And it isn't instant, trust me, they will ask you questions at port of entry.

They may or may not. If they do, then it would be related to your case. Just be " AS IT IS ".

For my POE, he asked no question. He just asked me to sign, then said - I am good to go! It just took less than 5 min for immigration check, but waiting in visitor line took 20 min.

Do not forget to take a pen or pencil on the airplane so you can fill out the I-94 form and the Customs Declaration form. Flight attendants get a bit upset at having to give out writting devices to international travels who know they need to complete forms while traveling.

Some of the questions can be in the form of idle chit-chat and others more case specific. Relax and go with the flow. I was asked one time why in the world would I visit Kazakhstan? (The specific question was "What the hell were you doing in Kazakhstan?") To which I replied, "to save my marriage by visitng my MIL":lol:

My husband was asked (sarcastically) if he spoke Spanish by someone who clearly could not at customs. I was unsure why the questioner didn't just SHOW him the questions that he was butchering.

It irritates me that the first experience he had in the US was someone being a jerk to him for being an immigrant. GGGGGgrrrrrrrr.........
