Hello people,
I have a question:
Between 2022 and 2023 I stayed pretty much 10 months outside the US - in Europe
My last entry was in July 2023 in Orlando FL. CPB got a little frustrated with me and asked me if I still live in the US and if I would leave again soon. I said that I wouldn't . He was a -little -"upset" but I entered the country.
2 days after I entered the country I filed for a Reentry Permit. I waited for the receipt to arrive and left the US again after a few weeks. Fingerprints were Waived.
My reentry permit is Pending. I believe its gonna take more than 1 year to get approved/ denied.
Im studying in Europe and probably gonna be here for the next 2 years. My boyfriend stays in Florida and he can't travel that much, so my plan was to visit him every 3 months or so....
The problem is : after my previous encounter with CBP I want to avoid problems, so do you think its OK for me to be traveling to the US every 3 months - before RP approved / After RP approved? Or its better to just wait Reentry Permit to get approved and come to the US - only if necessary- ( ---to avoid many encounters with CBP--- )?
Thank you
Im living in Europe temporarily. and regarding my last entry...I wasn't living in Europe last year. had to stay for 10 months for medical reasons I applied for a RP permit.
