- Thread starter mmx

Earlier was just FYI no new info. following is some stuff to consider when travelling:
Immigration officers are very knowledgeable about rules but if you show impatience especially if the flight time is near it might trigger additional questions and delays for you. Sometimes people assume that the officer may not know the rules that's why asking more questions and try to be overly helpful. Give yurself ample time at the airport for immigration, if it is a stopover then give couple of hours atleast.
If you need to report to immigration before departing (or during stopover) then give couple of hrs., generally officers are available from 8:30am to 5-6 pm, different ports of exit/entry may have different office times (based on arrival/departure of international flights), make sure you are travelling within those times. For example if you are in Atlanta be sure that your connecting flight internationally (incl. Canada although considered domestic flt.) is between the 9am-5pm timeframe as the officers might not be present (officers follow international flt. schedule not the domestic), to be sure call the immigration for office times at the last airport from which you will depart from.
