The existing answer is good, but I'd like to clarify the different types of drug name.
Each drug has a generic name, and often one or more brand names under which it's sold. Sometimes it's sold under the generic name directly (e.g. by smaller pharmacies, supermarket own brands, online, etc.).
Commonly-known and -available brands vary across the world. ...

Google is indeed your friend, and the fact that you are from US, an English-speaking country, is a great plus.
Now let me say. When visiting other countries, you must check with your doctor and local regulations because not all drugs can be sold by a random stranger walking into pharmacy. You may need an internationalized prescription, which is handled by ...

Is that of any use when using Global Entry?
No.
However, you never know if Global Entry is going to be open and/or functional, so it doesn't harm to have one ready. I vaguely recall that on a recent arrival GE was not available. I went through the regular line but no one wanted to see this form either. Go figure.
US Immigration + Customs processes vary a ...

Please make sure he carries a copy of your wedding certificate and probably a copy of your passport. We ran into problems with my Swedish wife when we were boarding the plane in Zurich (layover airport). It ended up being a mad scramble to get someone to our house so we could prove we were married.

At this time, your vaccination status does not change anything for visits to the US from countries subject to the travel ban, so the answer to you original question still stands.
Unless you qualify for one of the limited exemptions to the ban (which I suppose you didn't before, and nothing changed in that respect), your only option is to spend 14 days ...

The safest is to take these questions absolutely literally. Did you ever ask Canada, The Philippines, Italy, Germany or any other country for a visa and it was refused, then you should answer “yes” with an explanation obviously why this shouldn’t count against you.

If you want to one day apply to remain in Canada permanently when your studies are done you will have to answer a much more detailed set of questions about this and affirm them in an in-person interview with someone who is trained to notice if you are nervous because you think you're lying. Trying to hide this now if you will have to explain it later in ...

First, the caveat. I am not a lawyer. Your personal history is complicated enough that using one would definitely be recommended.
However, as you say you cannot really afford one, then you must go by risk. I will give you what I think I would do in your case. Whether or not you choose to view the facts the same as me, is up to you. Remember, I am some ...
