Taken to Secondary Inspection - Need Advice

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a recent experience I had while traveling back to the U.S. with my green card, and I’m feeling really uneasy about it.

After presenting my green card at immigration, I was taken to secondary inspection. This has never happened to me before, so it caught me off guard. During the questioning, they asked me a lot of personal and private questions about my studies, my family (like whether my parents are divorced), and other topics that felt invasive.

The whole process made me feel really uncomfortable and, honestly, a bit scared. I’m now worried that if I travel back to my home country, I might get flagged for questioning again, or worse, face issues re-entering the U.S.

I tried reaching out to my immigration lawyer about this, but they told me there’s nothing they can do regarding this situation, which has left me feeling even more uncertain about my options.

Has anyone else been through something similar? How did you handle it? Is there anything I can do to avoid this happening again, or to be better prepared if it does?

Any advice or insights would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!
