Booking flight for Tuesday (18th Aug) night and will be landing SFO on B1/B2 visa. Will keep the thread posted on how it goes and if any additional questions at port of entry. Been through US immigration at least 50 times in last 12 years, so any additional questions, i should be able to spot.

Just cleared US immigrations in SFO and there was no extra questioning other than standard couple of questions. No lines at immigration either but I think that’s because my flight (UA 868) is the first one to land this morning at SFO
