the standard time, were there professional repercussions? Depends on what
requested. Request letters; tailored.
Length of stay for B2s: was there any discretion in length of stay granted B2s
pre 9/11? If want more, sent to secondary with supervisor's.approval.
Processing time at Orlando: was there a standard processing time?
•
•
J Any professional repercussions if

• Waleed al Shehri and Sat am al Sugami's primary inspection.
Al Shehri - photo looks different - eyebrows. Put emphasis on 1-94. 20 days didn't
matter; today customs declaration complete.
Suqami: Customs declaration - no anomalies seen. Not scrutinized -just see if it is
filled out. Ask verbally how many days - coming for business. 20 days - why? And
see if he needs it and would give it to him. ;I-94: stamp mine; address adequate;
would have reviewed stamps.

Do you recollect either one?

Please describe how you conducted the inspection and what transpired, to the best

been stepchild of CBP.
•
Are you familiar with National Targeting Center? Yes, very. We have turned
away because of NTC.
•
What effect has US VISIT had on entry and the inspection process? Good; best
inventive thing within CBP. 3 or 4 matches this week on WL; no biometric hits.
Customs not doing immigration adjudications; short of staff.
•
Use and value of SEVIS. Yes, we have turned away students because of it.
•
Adequate access to DOS visa via the Consular Consolidated Database. Yes.
•
If you had a message for Commissioner Bonner what would it be? More training.
