I am a U. S. Customs and Border Protection Officer on the southwest border between Mexico and the United States. I know the ins and outs of the job as seen on TV/News and things intentionally hidden from the media! There's more to this job than "Anything to declare?" I dont know all but I'll do my best to answer any questions you have! All answers are my opinion, and my opinion only!
Racial profiling is illegal for all law enforcement agencies in the United States. The Department of Homeland Security does allow "targeting". What I mean by this, is that certain countries around the world that are known to be hosts for terrorist organizations are scrutinized further when their citizens are attempting to enter the United States. This all starts from when they are trying to obtain a Visa from the State Department to when they approach a CBP Officer to apply for admission.

It is not illegal to rent an apartment or own property in the United States. What you need to do is provide proof that you are coming here to take those exams. You may also need to show proof that you have ties to your home country, something that will convince us you will go back.

You cannot get an ADIT stamp at the port of entry. You must go to a USCIS office to obtain an ADIT stamp for an expired/lost I-551. The officer at the port will verify your boarding foil and then grant you admission.

There is no SET procedure, it just depends on the Officer working the case and the Supervisors/Chiefs making a decision on if it would be in the interest of justice to just have them voluntarily return. Expeditiously Removing someone "Throw back" takes a lot more paperwork and a lot more man hours to complete, rather than a simple form for a voluntary departure. Either way, they are still getting fingerprinted and photographed.

What do you do if a guest is doing something illegal in a room?
Sorry, that is out of my area of expertise. Only the SSA and CIS can help you with this issue.

If your flight does not touch down on US soil at any point in time, you will not see a CBP Officer. Now, if your flight from Toronto connected to, say Miami, then Cancun, you would then see a CBP Officer.

Basically, you need to show that your whole life is in India. The deed to your home, or tax statements help. A letter from your employer stating that you are located in India and you will be working for your employer on your L1 visa in the United States until XXX date.
