Who are the authorized bodies extending approval at the U.S. Port of Entry?
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the sole authorized body having the authority to permit or deny admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. The period for which a foreign national is authorized to remain in the U.S. is determined by the USCIS, and not by the Department of State Consular Officer.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the sole authorized body having the authority to permit or deny admission at the U.S. Port of Entry. The period for which a foreign national is authorized to remain in the U.S. is determined by the CBP, and not by the Department of State Consular Officer.
