Checked online.  I got an RFE.  I'm anxious but hopefully it is nothing too major

No kidding!  I feel the same way every time I return from the Philippines.  It is a little sad how inviting and friendly immigration is all around the world and when I come home it just feels like they hate us all.

I'm a Filipina and whenever i go through US immigration, my stomach feels like it'll explode. There are some friendly ones, don't get me wrong, but there are just a few that made me feel like i don't want to go to US any more. There was one time i went to the US and a guy got arrested on my flight. When i went through immigration, the officer asked me how the guy got arrested. So i told the story 'cause it happened right in front of me and that made me feel happy that he didn't have to ask me a bunch of nonsense personal questions.

I feel the same an I am an American citizen!  I'm fine in any country and I feel nervous in the US!  It really is strange.

Australia and New Zealand are pretty tough too. The only way to bring your partner over is to have proof of living together a minimum of 1 year (hence us choosing the USA), if you have not it is a automatic denial, the only other option is by a job offer that earns over 55k and you must have met the required points on top of that. You also have to do an English test with a score over 75% to qualify for permanent residency which you have to hold for a minimum of 5 years before you can apply to become a citizen. The benefit of holding either New Zealand or Australian citizenship is permanent residency in the other country, example I have NZ citizenship and so can travel to Australia and have permanent residency, the same for Australian citizens in regards to NZ permanent residency.

You can't even bring shoes with some dirt on it in Australia.  They are tough. But they still seem to be a lot friendlier compared to other officers in the US.

oh OK ... it's Canadian news btw, but I get it - same difference

I tried having my Canadian fiancé look at it and he wasn’t allowed to view it either, in Canada! Lol! So what is the take home message?

My cousin is currently in Australia and can't work whatsoever, I was shocked to find out how tough they are! Watching Cheapest Weddings also shed some light on that, too. 

 

From my experience, Canada has one of the better/easier immigration systems. The only thing keeping me here is my career, but we've already thoroughly researching their process for when we plan to move up to Canada. Never looked into any of the European systems, though

OK hang on ... I'll watch it again and take notes as best as I can. Sorry for the fruitless build up.

I had a different experience going through Sydney and Darwin. They were a lot stricter in Sydney, mainly because it's a busier city. The one in Darwin just asked me if i brought a bunch of food from the Philippines.

Oh whoops, I was talking about the all-around immigration system, like to work and get LPR, not just the border patrol officers..

 

My bad!

Do you have any idea what it can be? Maybe getting possible evidence ready can help. Like pictures or intent letter or so.
