| Sep 22, 2019 at 18:21 | comment | added | kiradotee | It doesn't really matter what you answer because you're a US citizen? Do they actually ask citizens why they are coming to their home country? There shouldn't be anything to stress about because unlike non-US citizens you cannot be denied entry. | |

| Sep 22, 2019 at 18:08 | comment | added | phoog | @Relaxed that sounds like an answer. Though my first inclination would be to offer the one-word answer truthfully. | |
| Sep 22, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | Relaxed | If they even ask in that way, just say what you wrote “I want to immigrate and find a workplace” or simply “I am coming to the US to find work and move back to the country”. As a citizen it's your right, you have no reason to try to pigeonhole what you are doing in a category like “business”. | |
