Why can’t
chil go via DUB? Admissibility determination at US CBP Preclearance ports is generally as useful and should be the same as admissibility determination by US CBP at a port of entry on US territory if the person is admissible into US even when coming from an area restricted by the US. Or is the traveler using a loophole and perhaps cutting it too close and thus ending up in secondary at US airports of entry even if not coming directly to the US from an area restricted by the US due to Covid-19?
