    Mjc2021 got a reaction from Redro in Entering US after IR-1 Visa approval   
    Hello! I just entered the US moments ago for the first time with my temp green card (IR-1). I currently have a L1-A work visa and my temp visa has the same wording as your husband’s. 
     
    When I just went through immigration processing they told me:
     
    1. My husband must be either accompanying me into the US or already at our home in the US. He’s at our home in California. I was asked/told this by two immigration officers at the airport. 
     
    2. They told me to avoid leaving the US until I have my actual green card. They said I can of course leave but it’s complicated, so I should wait until my green card comes back in the mail. 
     
    I’m a Canadian Citizen and have been married for 6 years (we lived in Canada preciously). 
     
    Since I have lawfully lived and worked in the US since December 2020 with an L1 visa, I already have a SSN, but I was able to start work and receive income while I waited for it upon my L1 entry since everything was very slow to process with COVID.

    Yeah, I think it’s silly they told me to avoid international travel for 90 days, too.  I don’t have any travel planned since family is coming to visit us for the holidays. So, I won’t really have to unless there’s an emergency. 

    They didn’t require proof. They didn’t even ask his name. They just asked where he was. I didn’t think much of it at first and said he was home with our dogs and for work, and the first officer noted he was asking for domicile reasons. The second officer asked “where is your husband at this very moment since he doesn’t appear to be with you?” she was intense. I said he was at our home in California. She asked if it was the address associated with my green card, and I said yes. That was it.
