Hi,
Mi girlfriend today attempted to enter the US with a tourist visa (being a Chinese Citizen). However, she was given a withdrawal of application I275 with 212(a)(7)(i)(I), but WITHOUT the fraud charge 212(a)(6) and without the 877 form. Her visa was not cancelled, but the CBP officer advised her against ever entering the US with the same visa.
Her situation is this: She intended to go to school on September this year(but the documents for that have not been released yet), but wanted to participate in a public class earlier from May to Aug. The class did not offer any degree and thus could not offer any visa, so she applied for a tourists visa instead.
CBP saw her luggage and became suspicious of the purpose of the trip. My girlfriend told them eventually about her plan for the class, and they denied her entry. However, looking at the posts on the internet, I think they were not to harsh on her given that the visa wasn't cancelled, and 212(a)(6) was not applied.
She is currently in China now after the incident, and we do realize that this was a stupid move. My question is, what are her chances of applying for a F1 visa for her September term this year? And how should she try to explain her situation for the future visa?
