| Now I've got the visa, I was wondering what happens at customs in florida. Do they stamp the visa if they let you in? Also do you stand in the same queue as everyone else who is with you who is using a visa waiver.
If you've been to florida with a visa please let me know.
Thanks for any info. | | Report this post to a moderator |

| If my last trip to vegas via detroit is anything to go by, expect to be questioned,as why to you have a visa, I explained, due to arrest many years ago and from info on the website, I felt it wise to get a visa, "so why did you get a visa".
Then it was of for further questions, anyway all went well visa stamped for 30 days,I wait to see what the next trip will involve when I arrive at customs.
It wont be to long I hope. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

Tezz,
30 days is the time immigration decided would be sufficent for my stay, there isn't a set amount of time that you receive at port of entry,it's down to the immigration officer at the time,six month is the MAXIMUM time allowed on a B2, but this doesn't guarantee entry,you could still be denied entry if immigration decided you weren't allowed in for whatever reason.
Nothing can be taken for granted.

Out of interest when you arrive at immigration with your passport open,what does the officer say to you? | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |
