Moving to the US from CAN

How would an officer conclude intent to immigrate if a woman shows up at the border to visit her mother-in-law, when all you can ask is where she going, lives, where her family is, all of which would be honestly (and with documents) answered which give no indication that she is leaving Canada, nor any indication that she and her family do not live in Canada -- since they DO!

laws, Do you routinely forbid married women from crossing the border without their spouses? C'mon now.
"if such document is required under the INS regulations"
INA does not require entry document for Cdns entering in 'B' statuses. Cdns can adjust from B status.

There are cr-1//Ir-1 Cdn members on VJ that have been denied entry to the USA and they had proof of ties to Canada? Some POE officers ask very few questions and some ask a lot. Many people get nervous talking to POE officers so instead of saying "visiting" they accidently say "live" which could set off bells and whistles. Some get denied entry that day, try a few days later and they get in.

As Cdn married to An American, when I was crossing over to visit her, at times I did get asked a lot more questions when I said was going to visit my wife. They wanted to know what she did, where she worked at, etc etc! And as I have said to the OP in private, she can answer those questions perfectly fine as he is in canada, which makes it sound that she has no plans to live in the USA.

Chances if she plays it right, all will be well.

laws seems to be irked by the B2 to AOS scenario.

He should take that up with HIS congressman, or higher ups at DHS.

Or take a mind-reading class.

Since everyday people get caught having immigrant intent, it does not always take a mind reader. Some people get really nervous and say the wrong thing. People get refused for this everyday.

Since it seems AGN enforces laws in the USA and also is employed with USCIS, I will give up this arguement. There is no point in me giving correct information when we can instead tell people to avoid telling the truth to obtain whay they want. I also now see no point in having Immigrant Visa's issued, as it is no longer illegal to enter the United States to live without prior authorization, acording to this site.

The only thing I am irked about is listening to the bad lawyer advice being given.

You actually expect AGN to admit he is wrong?? Good luck on that. Prob best he stick to Work Visas and Taxes which he tends to give good advice on!

According to the logic in this post, the following must be true.....

The only argumant I'm trying to make (unsuccessfully) is that it is impossible for CBP to divine that this woman would have immig intent if she stated that sehe was going to visit her husbands family in US, and there is no question that laws could ask tah tcould not be answered truthfully that could even remotely suggest that she is immigrating, other than "are you immigrating", which is not one of his regular or additional questions.
