Barracks 5

The Chula Vista Border Patrol Station, located in San Diego, California, is responsible for linewatch operations along the U.S.-Mexico border. Built in 1985, the station covers an area stretching from the San Ysidro Port of Entry to approximately 5 miles east of the Otay Mesa Port of Entry. Formerly known as Old 819, the Chula Vista Station served as a substation of Chula Vista and was responsible for patrolling the west side to the Pacific Ocean. Today, its main focus is on detecting and interdicting any unauthorized entry into the United States between the ports of entry.Generated from the website

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provides a critical service at ports of entry, ensuring that all travelers have the necessary documentation to enter the United States. In instances where verification is required, travelers may be directed to secondary inspection, allowing for additional research to confirm eligibility without affecting the flow of arriving passengers. During secondary inspection, CBP officers utilize the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) to verify status and may request additional information from designated school officials (DSOs). If documentation is insufficient, a Form I-515A may be issued, granting temporary admission while the necessary documents are obtained. Generated from the website
