IR1 - What do they do at POE?

[k_hudda 0]

Hey guys,

Hope everyone is doing great with their visa journey.

Quick question:

I am just wondering if you enter with IR1 visa from Buffalo Peace Bridge what do they do in your passport?

Any kind of stamping? I was reading somewhere that someone got denied for EAD stamp, i dont know if it was for K1-K3 or CR1/IR1.

What kind of stamping they do in IR1 visa passport? Do they take any other documents beside from that brown envelope?

I am planning to enter very soon. Anything to keep in mind. Suggestion and advise will be great.

Thanks,

K

By the looks of things ur a CR-1 (or ir-1) thus no EAD stamp, you do not need 1, as u can work right away. The benefits of a cr-1/ir-1. At POE they wil take the brown enevlope from you, maybe ask a few basic questions, fingerprint you, and maybe take ur pic!! Its pretty harmless. As well they wil put a normal stamp of entry stamp on your passport. If you are eentering with a u-haul truck with ur possesions, they may or may not search it. I had a very basic inventory list . I crossed in Maine and was super easy, and took around 30 minutes.
