Re-entering the US
Hi everyone,
I just arrived at JFK on August 26 after spending 64 days in my home country.
The officer took me to secondary inspection, where he asked me detailed questions about my entire history, including my VAWA case, how I obtained my B-2 visa, why I overstayed, why I got married, and many other questions. He also asked for proof and pictures related to my case.
He asked me how I had suffered physically and emotionally because of my partner. The officer conducted a detailed interview that lasted about one hour.
I answered all the questions one by one, calmly and honestly, and stayed consistent with my answers.
Finally, the officer said that there is a lot of VAWA fraud going on, which is why they are asking everyone detailed questions about their VAWA cases.
He saved all my information in the system, took my fingerprints and picture, and told me that the next time I return to the U.S., the information he saved in the system will help, and I might not be asked as many questions.
He stamped my passport and allowed me to enter the U.S.
I also asked him about the new law from August 13 regarding the 3-year or 10-year rule. He said that it only applies to DACA recipients.

Thank you Alex for sharing with us? what is your country? I left August 3rd came August 17th. JFk airport the same questions about mi F1 Visa, vawa history etc. I told him everything, he was so rude at me! after many questions he took the fingerprints and let me in. ask about my lawyer because they have a list of fraud lawyers. I have always use my AP but now if I have to use it I’m really scare.
