I woke up this morning, and the sun came out.

I'm pretty sure they are unrelated events.

No Meaux..........I am absolutely certain that your waking and the sun coming out are significantly related to one another.

This fine example of shameless rump-kissing is just an example of what can be learned by reading the book authored by my darling husband titled Backstroking and Suckupping 101; A learned husband's guide to getting along

........and yes Ive sent Flames9 a complimentary copy

I think it more likely that their questions were crafted in response to the answers that you gave... but I'm sure they were also looking up your entry record and seeing how many time you have been visiting "your guy"..

ZYGGY!

Just the man i was looking for.......maybe you know this.

Can you share with us just how much and what kind of information is collected on us when we cross? It's been a topic of curiosity and discussion between me and a friend of mine. He says he asked one time and was told that each time we cross and why is recorded and can be "pulled up" by our i.d. and /or plate. How long is that info stored?

I certainly would understand if you were limited to what you can share.

Thanks !

Yes.. I do know...

They know each and every time a vehicle with a particular plate has crossed... now that ID is required when you enter the US, they probably know individual information as well and definitely will know once passports are required....

can't share how long the information is collected... comments by particular officer can be entered into the system..

There's other stuff that is available on the screen in terms of identification, but I can't divulge that information...

OK now I'm really curious to know what comes up when I cross a land POE with just my birth certificate and drivers license. Does it come up that I am a K1 applicant when they type in my name or license or b.cert no. ?? I've been over several times since we've applied (I'm a border city girl .. FI is from Utah .. but I visit Michigan often for concerts and what not) .. and they've never mentioned anything about my K1 visa.

There was a great example that I read very early on in our visa process. An immigration attorney was telling about how he advises his clients to answer questions--that is, answer the question asked, period.

Example:

Q: Do you know what time it is?

A: Yes. (or "No'.)

Not, 'yes, it's 10:30'. Not 'no, I don't have a watch'.

That is sound legal advice meauxna. If only I could get my clients to stick to that thinking!

Once you get in a situation at a POE like those mentioned here, or any other interrogation type environment, it becomes really easy to see how someone innocent of murder ends up confessing to the crime.

Just remember, whenever answering questions, the one word to avoid is "maybe." Maybe nothing! You should answer all questions as asked and never try to help someone keep you out of the country/get you in trouble, etc. That's not being evasive. If they need more specific information. Let 'em ask!

lucky for you , you managed to visit your guy. Me on the otherhand had the worst time of my entire life. Ya just never know with these guys.

Its all in my profile if ya wanna know what happened.

That's what I figured because one officer asked me a lot about my K3 (I told him we were in the process) and he was satisfied that I was telling the truth after asking me a ton of questions (not in secondary) and I think he put something positive in there for me because the next visit the officer asked me right off the bat if I was visiting my husband and if I had an interview date set yet. I told him yes and the date and he just wished me good luck and a good weekend.

this is a really helpfull thread, thanks. while i and my fiance have yet to start the ball rolling for our visa yet cos we r still researching all we have to do, i was wondering about whether i'd have any problems visiting, and what i could do to avoid them. i'll deffinatly be writting this down.

oh p.s. as to the guard fishing perhaps the computer reminds him what general questions to ask for when certain answers are given? just a thought?
