I am not aware of a place where immigration is done after customs in US. As a matter of fact anywhere. I have travelled quite a bit, and the first people you see when you land are the immigration people.

My point is Customs is not done before immigration anywhere in the world. End of story.

It's a good point, but I don't know the answer. And I choose not to waste anymore time on this useless thread.

Maan I cannot stop laughing.

I go crazy when I think about how the desi deemag works... lol


Guys... What he asked is a valid question though
 
What happens if he lost his GC on the airplane AND he changed his jobs just after he got his GC (less than the mythical 6 mos rule of thumb?)

jump out of the plane. because his green card will be revoked due to the job change, and that would be more miserable than jumping out of the plane.
:D :D :D :D
 
I once lost my passport in between Immig and customs. Happens that I left it at the officer's desk. Luckily they found it and I got it back. Believe me it is a scary feeling.

You spend years trying to get your GC....shed thousands of dollars.... not to mention the anxiety and sleeplessness and other things... And after all that, you just left your GC on some stupid officer's desk.... :mad: shame on you...
Just kidding man...i am trying to pull your leg... It could happen to anybody....hmmm..
 
After passing the immigration, do the custom
officials have the right to further inpect
us on immigration grounds? I often find them
doing that

Hmm,

I was an H1 at that time. Have'nt left the US since. Point is that we always feel nervous when we return back esp. on H1 that sometimes due to that we do stupid things !!!

Whats kidding here?? :confused: I think you are dead serious :mad: , such idiots should be striped off their GC and termed as illegal aliens and sent to G'Bay for few yrs until they get their senses back to their brain tissues. End Of Story
 
Theft at 32000 feet!

I know of an incident where someone stole $ 800 from the cabin baggage placed in the overhead bin on a flight from Frankfurt to Boston. This happened to my friend's daughter.

It does not surprise me if someone steals important papers as well.

VerySilly,

I hope my answer clarifies what was said earlier. I was on my H1 at that time. Having said that these things happen. It is nothing to do with brains or anything. Also this GC is no big deal. They dont have to worry about stripping it. I will be giving it back to them myself in a couple of years.

Rgds,

Of course they do. Back before CBP, when there were seperate Customs and Immigration personnel, you'd often have Customs making small talk as they reviewed the forms, and if what you said didn't match what you told Immigration, back you went. The idea was that once you were relaxed, something might slip out that you didn't want INS to know about.

Nothing has changed in that respect.

But I don't see they cross-check with each other
about consistency of our talk with them
