What questions should I be able to answer when I want to enter the USA on the 4th time? - Signboard showing direction of underground station

On my 3rd visit to the US this June, I went to a second screening and the immigration officer asked a lot of questions.

My 1st trip was last January for only 1 week: my 2nd trip in March was for 2 weeks, and my most recent and 3rd trip was in June for 13 days. They had the same entry point, Las Vegas.

I'm worried because I will be coming back for Thanskgiving and I forgot the answers that I told him. I said some nonsense stuff like I want to blog but I haven't started it yet and he asked me deeper nonsense things and he was typing on the computer while asking me. Do you think after 5 months when I visit again the United states, particularly Las Vegas, the officer will ask me about the questions from last time?

im getting paranoid about the blogging thing because i realized now that its like working but truthfully i havent started it yet or have a video of my self in the us. only pictures. will it be a problem on my next entry? i mean when they ask me questions again? and if for thanksgiving sounds like is for family, what can i tell them? im really visiting my friend's home for thanksgiving



Best Answer

You have made life very hard for yourself by lying.

As @Willeke says this is one of the reasons we always advise people to tell the truth (apart from the very bad consequences of being caught in a lie).

it is likely that the officer in your next visit has a record of your answers from the previous visits, and somewhat likely that he will ask you one or two questions based on them. So you should do two things:

  1. Do your best to recall what you said last time and be consistent.
  2. From now on always tell the truth to border officials.

The second is the most important.
