Visiting US with UK hubby

Good Morning everyone!

My husband and I are going to the US for a holiday for a week.
I haven’t been there for a year and a half after I moved to the UK.
Are there anything questions that I need to expect at the immigration? Do my husband and I stand in the same line at immigration or separately.

Thanks in advance for the help! This group has always been a life saver.

Thanks,
Nazzy

Just that he needs an ESTA.  You both will go together through immigration as well.   

Hi,

Thank you. Yes he got his ESTA.

Thanks,

Beyond the ESTA, nope Nothing to worry about.

You definitely go through immigration together but be aware we've been told before to separate. Just ignore people that work at the airport directing passengers because they don't always have a clue. We learned early on to just ignore.

Thank you!

Do they ask a lot of questions like if I’m going to apply for him in the US or not. Or any awkward questions?

This is the first time me and hubby are going together, so don’t really want a situation where they don’t let him in.

Thanks,

We always make sure we have evidence of return tickets, but we've never had a problem nor needed to show any documentation. I think one time he brought a letter from his boss saying when he would be back at work (my hubby is the UKC).

We entered last week.  Kids and I are US citizens, husband on ESTA.

All very friendly asking how long we are staying.  Asked if we all live in the UK.  Asked if I get stopped all the time (common name which - while not confirmed - is likely on the no fly list).

We've never been asked for any of that but be ready to show return flight info even just on your phone if asked. Honestly, think of how many people travel their on holiday from abroad every day. Only difference is that your husband happens to be married to you (a USC). Try not to overthink it and make yourself anxious. It'll all be fine

Thank you so much everyone for your responses. Yeah we will definitely have our return tickets on us.

Thanks!

If you go through Boston, they're total assholes, but everywhere else, seems really reasonable to go through the Border in the US.

They're just total assholes regularly, it's not their fault. hahaha

Yes, that's correct! I remind my husband of that every time we go through Immigration.

Literally without fail, every time we even get TO the immigration area of Logan and staff start talking at us I start with the "Oh.....We're definitely back in Boston...Welcome home..." ahaha Glad it's not just me!
