[canadapr1982]

Hello All , @harirajmohan @swan0206

I am traveling to Germany in coming August, so my scanerio is I am Canadian citizen with H1B valid till August 2028. On my Canadian passport, I-94 valid till August 2025 and recently my extension got approved till August 2028, living in Michigan currently, basically moved to Michigan from Windsor in Jan 2025
, my question is if I want to travel to Germany from Detroit airport which is fine but while coming back, if I land in Detroit or they will ask some questions in Frankfurt itself before boading, what can i tell them whether I temporarily moved to US or I will tell them that I will work in US but leaving in Windsor as I have Canadian license ?? Little confusion, what docs I have to carry since this is my first trip after got my Canadian passport and I know no need to H1B visa stamping as a Canadian citizen.

Please help me out as I have confusion.

Under normal circumstances, I'd say that you just have all your docs ready (including old country passport that's now expired/invalidated plus old H1B visa stamp) and tell them the truth - that you just recently moved and are living and working in Michigan as an H1B (and if asked about Canadian license - you just haven't exchanged it yet since you moved recently).

With the post-Jasmine Mooney situation: Still the same advice, but any chance you can fly from Frankfurt to a Canadian airport with US preclearance like Toronto or Vancouver? Or even say Dublin Airport in Ireland?

So your talk with CBP takes place on the soil of another country where CBP lacks the authority to detain you into an immigration jail in the United States - just in case they don't like the answer or don't like something they see on your phone?
