I was travel with my RTD without my green card (i485 pending) from May 5 to July 27. I am not from any ban list country. I come back at JFK T1. The first officer just ask where I come from today and check my information like name, age. Then he sent me to secondary check. I just wait 2min. The officer said byebye and gave back my document.
