PORT OF ENTRY
A port of entry is a location where individuals and goods can lawfully enter the United States and where U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers inspect people, documents, and cargo to ensure compliance with U.S. immigration, customs, and agricultural regulations. Ports of entry include international airports, land border crossings, and seaports. USCIS field offices and service centers are also considered ports of entry because people can receive immigrant status there.
At a port of entry, CBP officers determine the eligibility of travelers for admission into the U.S. based on their visas, documentation, and any other relevant information.
