Hello-

 

Filling out I-485, and I have a question.  Part 8 Question 25 asks:  "Have you EVER been arrested, cited, charged, or detained for any reason by any law enforcement official (including but not limited to any U.S. immigration official or any official of the U.S. armed forces or U.S. Coast Guard)?"  

 

When my husband came to the US most recently on his ESTA, he was questioned by Customs & Border Patrol Officers for two hours since we had an approved I-130.  He was allowed entry in the US.  Would this count as being detained?  Or, was he just questioned?  I cannot find any info about what officially being "detained" at the airport means.  Should I answer YES and explain in the additional information?

 

Please let me know what you think.  Thank you.

He was not detained,  he went to secondary inspection 

YMMV
