Dec 13, 2017 at 9:47 comment added David Richerby @Thunderforge "The presumption of immigrant intent" is the assumption that any non-resident who tries to enter the US is trying to live there. This means that immigration officers start every conversation with a non-resident with the assumption that the person is trying to become an illegal immigrant and will not let the person enter unless they can be convinced that this is not the case. The opposite situation would be a presumption of non-immigrant intent, in which case the officer would allow entry unless they found a reason to deny it.
Dec 13, 2017 at 7:23 comment added Cœur @Thunderforge no, because you might want to not leave US.
Dec 13, 2017 at 6:52 comment added Thunderforge I can’t for the life of me figure out what "failing to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent" is supposed to mean. Is that saying they will ban you from entering for a visit because you might want to come back some day to live there?
