I did my landing at this office after a one-day states grocery/gas/shopping trip

No offence...you don't drive and you don't wanna do office landing...so you think you can land somewhere else near a skytrain station...?

There are so many means to get to this border...good luck

He could book a flight to Seattle and Back if he has a US visa.

I am planning to do this, book a flight to San Francisco, stay there for 1 day (since my sister is there) then back. I have a US visa. My only hesitation is if there would be a problem US immigration side, because of the duration of my stay or just simply saying Im there for landing would suffice?
Thanks!

It is totally fine for one who has a valid US visa to just go to the states for 1 whole day or even half day.

I wouldn't even bother to tell the US officers that this whole trip is about landing. You are not flag poling. Its not CBP's concern.

At least this is what I was told [by the CBP] when I head down to the south 3 months ago and come back for the landing. All the officer wanna know were my planned activities in the states.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. Now I can make the right decision. ;D
