Sorry for all the question but just trying to get and idea of the process. I did have a neighbor who was granted adjustment of status during her first interview in Ciudad Juarez because she had a USC child and had her husband's deployment papers with her. She went in for the interview was asked to come back in the afternoon and was asked for the papers again. She was granted her papers right there and was just told not to open the package until CBP inspected the papers at her entry. EWI too that is why she had to exit.

Edit: In addition we would all have to find sick grandparents or relatives. Lying about it is basically fraud. Not sure still about study abroad or travel for work AP. Some person was just turned down because they are DACA for an internship. So, I think it is going to be tough for us to be hired for travel jobs.
