Not breaking news so I cannot allow the post on the main sub, but from what I understand and trying to be as neutral as possible, they are being strict in questioning travel plans. Many are asking for proof of accommodations such as hotel / rental bookings. They are also looking for proof of tickets or travel plans back. They are also suddenly very strict in watching those who overstay without proper paperwork and are using other records to find those people. A dramatic change from past decades of non-enforcement, I personally blame it on just that... letting people that break such laws / system then sudden 180, yeah, = a mess on many levels. And trying to correct the abuse, lawful people are getting caught up in it. It doesn't help that at the same time they're going after organized crime, the drug trade, and using older records (both court and immigration) to find people right now that overstayed or abused the system.
Again this is how I understand it, umm, trying to think of another subreddit for you to post on...hmm
Ok, thanks man. Yea I had heard about stuff like that but I wasn’t sure if that was just for people entering on vacation. It’d also be a shitshow since I’d be staying at families house not in a booked hotel.
I would check on that... have some kind of itinerary showing you are visiting family. The more laid out your plans are, the easier I'd imagine it will be. I'd personally make it so a drooling idiot can understand it / connect the dots.
