So she has spent 4 of the past 5 months USA and wants to come back now. To CBP that’s living in the USA.
1. When she had her visa interview, what duration of stay did she tell the CO?
2. Similarly at the port of entry what duration of stay did she she tell the CBPO?
Not relevant to CBP
39 states plus DC, Puerto Rico, American Samoa. It’s mostly monotonous and repetitive. I’d much prefer to spend 30 days in Indonesia than Indiana or for that matter Hawaii.
I believe you.
Under U.S. law she is presumed to have immigration intent until she can convince CBP otherwise.
3. CBP is going to wonder how is she able to spend 8 months out of 9 in the USA without working?
That was the point I raised in my first comment on this thread and you didn’t address it.
