I was watching a program about Miami airport this afternoon. A conversation between a CBP officer and a passenger coming to stay (not visit) went like this.

CBP - "I see you have a visa in your passport when did you enter the US.

Pax - "Three years ago"

CBP - "Do you have an other immigration documents"

Pax - Produces a Green Card

CBP - "Do you reside in the US"

Pax - "No I don't I live in Bolivia"

CBP - "When did you last live in the US"

Pax - "2 years ago"

CBP - "Think carefully. You are the holder of a Green Card and you are being asked by a Customs and Border Control Officer if you reside in the US. Do you reside in the US"

Pax - "No I don't"

I thought the CBP Officer gave him every opportunity, but he ended up in due course having to go to Immigration Court for a judge to rule on abandonment.

Wonder if he was only being so nice because of the cameras?

Either way, some people are to stupid to deserve that kind of help

What if he's tricking him to make him lie......eh ?

In which case I doubt the end result would have been any different.

Yeah, I think the outcome was going to be the same either way, because two years is so far outside the six months guideline.
