I was on vacation around the time this thing went into effect and didn't read it here previously.
When I landed in the US recently, I got my first "stamp" in my mother country ever. Also, the immigration officer asked a lot of detailed questions about what I was doing abroad. I have been asked these questions in the past , but she was quite serious about it this time.
I seem to remember just showing my US passport as I walked through the line back home. ( about a decade ago) |

You mean if a Syrian citizen wants to return to Syria he has to deal with the military police and explain what he was doing abroad. I am being sarcastic. On the surface, this reminds me of what the Soviet Union would have done or Korea in the old days. Can someone explain this better. Why would someone need permission to go home? This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.... |

I think it depends which port you go through and who you get. I can remember having my checked luggage manually searched back in 1989, yet I haven't got a U.S. entry stamp since 2001. Before that, I got one each time I returned. |
