Just a quiet waiting area, a few standard questions about her employer, her job role, and where she\u2019d be staying. She showed her EAD card and explained everything clearly. It took only 15 minutes for her to be cleared, with her dignity intact and not a single document questioned.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their experience wasn\u2019t dramatic.
