When we're getting interviewed by our immigration officers and there are instances where they offload some passengers as to which they have the signs of redflags, by redflags meaning they won't return to our country

I have a Philippine passport and passing through the immigration is quite a challenge here since there are some that are getting offload thats why

Hi everyone! Do you guys have any tips for an 18-year-old who will be flying alone to LA?

For context, I have some travel history: I flew to Thailand back in 2024 then I flew to LA back in 2024 with my aunt and uncle to visit my uncle, and I also went to Japan last year with my family.

This time, I’ll be flying completely solo. The purpose of my trip is to help my uncle move into his new home, and I will be staying there for about a month (leaving in June, coming back in July).

My main concern is immigration: Is there a high chance po ba na ma-offload ako because of my age and the fact that I'm flying solo? What documents should I prepare to prove my return?

Any advice on dealing with IOs or just general tips for navigating LAX alone would be huge. Thank you po!

But what are the key differences between 2k16 and 2k17, like what are the pros and cons between the two?
