These could theoretically occur in any airport within 100 miles of the border, but anecdotal evidence suggests that those two are the airports where it is most likely to happen. | |

| Apr 19, 2018 at 19:57 | comment | added | phoog | @DavidBrossard Passports for VWP travelers have admission stamps with the notation WT or WB for "class." US citizen stamps typically leave class blank, although I've seen a couple that say "USC." A permanent resident's admission stamp (which one might find in Patricia Shanahan's passport) would say something else, but it seems to vary depending on the circumstances. In any event, a US dual citizen would normally have no US stamps in his or her foreign passport, so the OP's foreign passport would look more like that of an illegal immigrant than like that of a VWP visitor. | |
