Oct 20, 2019 at 20:13 comment added phoog @NateEldredge I do not share Crazydre's optimism about the reply from the properly competent CBP department. In my experience trying to get answers from them they are no better than the information center. That shouldn't be too surprising, since they are probably the source of the material presented by the information center.
Oct 20, 2019 at 20:09 comment added Nate Eldredge Perhaps then it would be better to delete this for now, and then post the question and answer together once you hear back from CBP, since there does not appear to be any possibility for anyone else to give a satisfactory answer in the meantime.
Oct 20, 2019 at 20:09 comment added phoog I think this is a duplicate. I may not have time to find it in the near future, however. I've certainly answered this question a couple of times already, though perhaps in response to subtly different questions. In short, your understanding is more or less correct, but there's no "sufficiently short" criterion: by the letter of the law, it depends only on the border officer's discretion, and there do not appear to be any public guidelines or policies guiding the exercise of that discretion.
Oct 20, 2019 at 20:07 comment added Crazydre @MichaelHampton Once I've received a reply from the properly competent internal CBP department, I'll post a clear-cut all-encompassing answer here, citing the CBP
Oct 20, 2019 at 18:51 comment added Michael Hampton Since you want this to be a canonical, what sort of answer are you looking for? This question and slight variants of it has already been answered at least a few hundred times here.

Oct 20, 2019 at 18:19 comment added Nate Eldredge Would you care to give some links to these "numerous online reports"?
Oct 20, 2019 at 18:18 comment added Crazydre NOTE: this is a canonical, and the matter is being investigated with the CBP headquarters. Screenshots from the CBP Info Centre are not hard proof, as I've found the Info Centre to be depressingly incompetent.
