Any one has the similar experience?

When I and my wife entered the US through Seattle a few days ago, the INS officer asked my wife about something happened way before we received our green card.

The reason is that my wife transferred to a different university (university B) without staying in the university (university A) from which she got her F-1 from F-2 for one semester. The university A reported this to INS. This thing has been cleared when we submitted our reply to RFE from INS 2 years ago.

The INS officer at the port of entry asked about this, and mentioned something like, this "may" cause my wife be sent to the secondary inspection, and be a law-obey citizen, etc. Finally, after spending a few minutes, he let us go.

Still, I am little bothered by this, I am not sure whether any one else has the same experience, and whether my wife will meet the same problem every time she enter the US using GC.
 
Don't know why he stopped you. I doubt it will cause issues especially since the mtter already came up during an RFE prior to your PR approval. The person was probably a jerk, and the fact that your wife was not sent for secondary would support that.

what exactly did he say about "be a law obey citizen?"

He did not say anything special

He did not say any thing special. More like talking to himself. like "we should be a law-obey citizen". something like that.

uscis has five years from the date of approval of adjustment of status to revoke it if they so wish.

The clause is that if USCIS believes the person wasn't eligible for permanent residency at the time they got the greencard, they can revoke it. They only have five years from date of approval for this.

If it came to this, you would have to prove that you were eligible for the greencard.

Where did you get such rule? I thought they can revoke it
for a restr of life of a PR (may be even after his death)
because there is no statute of limitation.

But this may have something to do with a PR's fraud.

If a GC applicent is not eligible but do not
hide any information, it is just that USCIS
approve his application. Can USCIS later
revoke it? For example, a GC applicant
simply tell USCIS on GC application
:"Yes, I used to be involved in
drug trafficking, worked withour INS
permit, blah blah blah" and USCIS official
simply overlook it or did not care and approved
ths guy's application. In such case,
can USCIS revoke his GC and if Yes,
during what time period from
PR approval date?
 
Good link UN.
I am just wondering whether some kind of this formed the basis for stipulation of five year duration PR requirememt as eligibility for citizenship?
 
This explains the vulnerability and constant threat that a 'beneficiary /GC holder'(mainly employement based) is subject to ,when the approval conditions are deviated either due to his fault or not even due to his also(as the onus of proof burden remains on the beneficiary, even the deviation caused by his employer /sponsorer, it is to be proved beyond suspicion and not an easy task in many situations).It may not happen but risk will be there in these situations always.
UN,your above info' gives an idea for many questions in this forum.
