Yes, your right.

I check with USCIS and the Embassy before applying IR2, and since I was only resident for the first couple years after birth, and don't qualify for that.

Although, once he enters with IR2, CCA of 2001 with make him US citizen on arrival.

So overall, I am happy except the wait...

Just a followup.

My wife and son have arrived and were grated the full 90-day VWP with normal PoE questions, and did not have to show detail documents etc.

BTW, PoE was SFO.

 

Thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresEntering during IR1/2 with ESTA(VWP)

Hi, I am dual citizen of U.S. and Japan.

I have lived most of my life in Japan and have a wife and son in Japan too.

Since January, I have been relocated to California for work.

 

I have apply for IR1 in January for my wife, there was a misunderstanding from my son's IR2 and started in April.

My wife just got approved from NVC, and my son is still NOA1 at USCIS(NBC).

 

I miss them so much, and I know it will take another 3months at least to get my sons to the embassy.

So, I would like them to visit me here in California.

I call the embassy, and they said there is not reason not to use Esta(VWP) to go, but it is all up to the CBP officer.

 

I undestand that the CBP officer will have the right to decline entry, but if I show enough evidence,

like letter from wife's employer, wife's car pink slip, round trip airline ticket, etc...

would they be able to enter and what evidence is relevant?

 

And also, does the stage that they are help or hurt there right to enter?

(I was able to get them in Feburary with no problem, when the I-130 just started)

 

Thanks
