Re: Hi from Phoenix
Sounds like someone had a bad experience with the immigration guys, as a newbie I'm lagging behind the stories.
All I can say is that when I came in (I think it was Philly) the Immigration guys there were good natured and the whole process was very fast.
One of them took a look at my permanent resident visa and asked "how did you manage to get one of these?", still in wise ass British mode I replied "I paid an American hooker to marry me", and 5 immigration officers all burst out laughing at the same time (thankfully).
Obviously the wife
wasn't present to hear that remark otherwise I would now be singing falsetto for the Vienna Boys Choir.
