Quick question: when I applied for my Green Card abroad in Europe, I told them about a minor criminal record (I have another thread open regarding this). Initially, the consulate considered it 'moral turpitude' and they rejected a tourist visa I applied for pending my Green Card process.
Throughout the process they discovered that my conviction actually was NOT moral turpitude and the consular office told me he was going to 'erase'/'clean' my record because of mistakes made on their end.
Now my I am wondering about question: "26. Have you ever been removed, excluded or deported from the United States?"
According to the consulate, they never should denied my tourist visa and they say they have corrected my records. On the other hand you can say that yes, I have (wrongfully) been excluded once by (once again wrongfully) denying me a tourist visa.
Your thoughts?
