OK, so essentially how things went down was that the customs area was super, super crowded, and the customs agents seemed to not be paying particular attention to each person and kind of just wanted to get the crowds moved through quickly.

So Tiger was asked what he was in the country for, and he responded "Christmas and New Year's."  And that was essentially it.  They didn't seem to have time to give him much scrutiny and just basically sent him on his way.

Tiger follows the dictum that you answer any question posed to you truthfully and concisely, and that's it.  Answer the question and only the question, and volunteer nothing further.  They can ask for more information if they wish, and in his case this time, they didn't.

Good luck to you two for your own visit!

Thanks for the update. You said he had a return flight ticket?

Yes, it was booked at the same time as his trip out here.

Was he ever asked for or did he voluntarily present the ticket for return flight?

He did not, no.  I just asked him to double-check I was right and he wrote me:

"I was asked why I was in the US, I said for Christmas and New Years. I was asked when I last came to the US, I said back in May so about 6 months ago. That was it. I only answer exactly what I was asked."

I'm a realist, but I still think July filers will start seeing some approvals before the year is up. Wishful thinking?

I am really glad to see all these June approvals kicking in, but then I went to read the May filers forum and so many of them received their NOA2 but still haven't received their NVC, number after almost two months!!! (NVC number which is needed for the embassy to receive their files and sometimes schedule docs appointment and interview)

I got freaked out and scheduled a February flight to see my fiance, even though I was supposed to be saving for the time I'll be there unable to work, :( but who knows when that will be!

This close to the dates they're processing in June, I'm going to say no. But the go-to response on this forum is "expedited" so expect everyone to say that. I'm holding out until I see proof it was expedited, though.
