Not really, when I was at the gate, there was someone from the US government waiting there checking all non-US citizens for their documentation. Only after approval you may board. It states very clearly in the proclamation that spouses were exempt. So there was no question of essential/non-essential. All I had to do was to prove I am married to an US citizen. Wish you luck!!

Did you just fly there to visit your spouse or did you move there with a visa?

Hi :)

 

Let me know if your husband encounters any problems at the border. But I do hope it goes well and you are able to see him.  

 

I am married to a US Citizen in Florida and would like to see my wife ASAP. I have a ticket for the 2nd July so I hope I get to see her. My visa is currently in the process and there has been ZERO movement since my PD which is 1st November 2019 :(.  

 

I was planning to take with me the following for my journey:

- Marriage certificate

- Official letter from my employer explaining that I intend to come back to work and have several projects to attend.

- Copy of my wife's passport and driving license

- depending if there any any official antibody tests, I was going to show this also for a sign of 'immunity' 

 

Thanks.

Showing that you have ties to your home country is definitely a good idea too!

I flew there to visit. Under VWP, so I only had to apply for an ESTA.

Do Canadians have to apply for this as well?

No.

I am not a lawyer and nothing I say is or should be taken as legal advice.

How did he prove to CBP that you are a US citizen? Copy of your passport?
