I am fluent in both English and Mandarin yes.

 

I must mention that i just remembered another gay customs official I encountered driving back from canada crossing Detroit.  I had a fruit tray in my car I was going to eat as lunch, he took it away from my trunk and threw it into a huge garbage with extra force right in front of my face as a show of power.  thank you for dumping my fruit tray.

The reason that your fruit tray was confiscated is because agricutural products are not allowed to cross borders because of the potential damage of fruit parasites and diseases.  It was done to protect the hundred of millions of dollars worth of agricultural products in the US.  It was not done as a "show of force" against you.  Confiscating and disposal of fruits is standard procedure for everyone.  You were not singled out.

 

Why is the customs official being gay relevant?

Same for me, I had to throw an apple and a banana away, flying from EU to US (just because I didn't want to delay at POE/ my first visit to the US). That's the rules so one complies.... my SO waiting at the end of the line was more important than a bunch of fruit I had with me, but each to their own....

Exactly.

 

And even more spot-on. Plus, did he just tell the OP he was gay for the heck of it...?

 thought the same. @ OP if what I think of you is true, I think you are better off moving to Taiwan, before even attempting an immigration visa for your wife.

But then again, that's just my personal opinion......

The funny part was that all kiwis are from australia and oranges were from Florida.  The canadians and americans get the same identical kiwis and oranges.  I eat that stuff in canada and poop in a garden in USA, i grow the ecosystem there over here.  I digress....that's why some these technical points about intent to immigrate seems technical and yet pointless to me, other than freaking out their spouses coming to america.

 

No, that specific customs official really was gay.  I could tell from the way he talked and the nicely trimmed eyebrows.

You won't like all the rules

Not all of the rules make sense

Some steps in the process may seem pointless

 

None of that matters. You just have to get through it. I think the USCIS/NVC process is horribly inefficient. It doesn't matter though. Just do it.

No offence OP, but the way you talk about your wife is like talking about an Amazon parcel about to be delivered. You can try your luck and accompany her through the POE ( keep in mind that that is her own thing to prove she'll be returning to Taiwan). SHE (not you/nor with your help) can try to get into the US, but ..... I'll stop here..... I am sure you (OP) know what I mean

Immigration is not Burger King.  You can't have it your way.

 

Instead of accepting why there is a fruit restrictions to protect many people's livelihood, you focus on you and what you did.  Not everything is about you.  Sometimes, things are a certain way to protect others.

 

You are coming off as very entitled with the attitude that US immigration is stupid because you may not get what you want based on your situation rather than look at the big picture that covers many others.

 

Just because something is pointless to you doesn't mean that it's pointless.  Sometimes, you don't fully understand and it just seems pointless to you.  You think the fruit ban is pointless without knowing how it impacts hundred of millions of dollars of agriculture in the US and how that can affect many people working in agriculture financially.  Do you expect CBP to distinguish between your orange sourced from Florida from an orange from somewhere else?  How would that work?  How much longer would you expect the line to be for everyone when sorting fruits.  Plus, everyone knows where their fruits comes from right?

 

Think big picture.  Immigration is not just about you.

US immigration presented itself that way after myself crossing the border over 30 times between canada and usa at Detroit.  NOT ONCE do I think I should be overpowering them, but MANY TIMES they did that to me and FOR NO REASON.  So you tell me how I should think of them.  Don't forget bcking's story above.  I have encountered many officials with superiority complex.  I am not trying to make this difficult but these stories and the attorney I'm talking to are flat out scaring me and confusing me.  So I'll stop right here and go my way to file the paper whenever I can, the way I should.  We all want our loved ones here with us, I just hope it's easier than what I'm hearing.

File your papers when you wish, but if you're accompanying your wife on her travels, I strongly recommend you tone yourself down, else you'll make your spouse sound like a slave..... 

[Jojo92122 1,924]

There you go again.  It's about you.  The MANY TIMES that you were stopped FOR NO REASON.  You know everything, right?  You know all the points when there is a policy that delays you?  There wasn't any instances where you thought it was pointless but there actually were points that you didn't understand?  Like the "show of force" in dumping your fruit tray in front of you?  If you think something is pointless, then CBP must have stopped you for no reason.  It couldn't be because you didn't understand something.

Case closed. I have no more questions.  Now you are just pinpointing this on me for no reason.  I got stopped just for that, NO REASON, if you don't understand then I cannot help you.  I went to see my ex-wife, I was on my way back with nothing in the car, I just got pulled in.

 

I-130 by the end April and she will come to visit and she will go back after a month just as planned.  I will no longer speak to the attorney.  I am following the procedure, no shortcuts.

My first encounter with POE: 

POE: Business od pleasure?

Me: Pleasure, visiting my boyfriend (they had the address already in the ESTA so just check follow-up question)

POE:

While you yourself have no further questions, keep in mind you cannot bring "slaves" (sorry for the wording), over to the US; you went to see your ex-wife? what about the "new"-wife? What about your "sending your new wife back" ? Sorry but I cannot wish you no luck, not based on the facts/ wording you presented here ...

This isn't an English class and we aren't going to pick on words and grammar in this manner.  Sending my wife back means she'll return at the time of the return plane ticket, it's as simple as that.  I was planning on keeping her here for 3 months so we can be a newlyweds together for 3 months but after reading all of the above, I don't think so at this point.  And some people's experiences here, including myself's bring back haunting memories of customs officials I encountered.  Did I get stopped for no reason? Sure of course I did, for the pure amount of canadian custom stamps I had in my passport seeing my ex-wife in the past, I got stopped.  Did I answer my questions to them in rude manners while crossing?  No, they just stopped me because I looked suspicious and I went there a lot.  Were the questions similar?  Yes.  Why did you go to canada?  What did you do there?  How many days?  It's almost always the same questions until an official decided to give me hard times.  I once got full body searched up to my crotch while asking where I worked and where I went to college?  Was that necessary?  No.  Did I answer anything different?  No.  If you've never experienced this yourself, then please don't criticize.
