  • I haven’t been since Jan 2024, but entry was pretty trivial. The only out of the ordinary was that they asked which airline I worked for - The border agent didn’t know C1/D visas also pertain to shipping.

    Oh, and ine time they wanted to check inside one of my bags as a dog found it interesting - turned out I had forgotten a food item inside.

    Before I got my work visas (a bunch of them) immigration really didn’t seem to care. I entered on a tourist visa with a plan to stay for a month.
    “Purpose of your visit?”
    “Business and meetings” (which is allowed on a tourist visa)
    “For a whole month?”
    “Yes”
    It was obvious he wasn’t paid enough to care. So that time I was technically an illegal immigrant, as I worked far beyond just attending meetings.








  • Their green lineup is fine. But as someone who used to go through multiple drill batteries every day at work, I’ve learned to appreciate the 18V stuff. So when I needed to replace my cheap drill at home, it was a simple choice. And I later bought a circular saw, and it’s nice to have interchangeable batteries and only one charger: All of my tools have their own battery, and I always have one extra in the charger that is good to go when needed.
