Hi,
I was transiting through Chicago for Vancouver. when I denied entry and volunteer withdrawn my application. The CBP officer asked me about my earlier visits in USA and told me you have stayed in USA more than India my home country in past three years. What you was doing while your stay in USA.He checked my violet and got my California ID and my bank account and couple of visiting cards of my friends. He asked me that we belief that you was working in usa.I told them that I was staying with my cousin who have Liquor store in Los Angeles. Because both my cousin and sister-in-Law go to store, I stay most of time at home with their children and pick them and drop at school. But CBP officer said I don't belief a person like you can stay at home all time.then I told them not always some time I go with my cousin at store and help him in store. He asked how much money per hour you get. I said I was not getting pay from him. Then he asked about the money deposited in my account I said my cousin gave me that. They always help me even before I came to USA its not getting pay. Then he told me to write my employer's address in India. I am working for Police in India. He said you didn't bring your family with you anytime. He asked me how much money I have. He said we know you are a good guy but we think you are working in USA without work permit. I told him I have no intention to stay in USA because I have applied for PR in Canada.1. But he cancelled my visa and gave me stamp 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I).He said if you want to stay in USA you can apply for Asylum. Which I refused. I told him that my checking bag has already reached in Vancouver. what about that ,he said we will take care of that. But until now I didn't get my bag back I asked everybody Vancouver Airport Lost Baggage, My Air line united airways and CBP but nobody respond positively and nobody take responsibility.
I have submitted a complaint with DHS TRIP programme and my application is under consideration. Tell me do I need to wait for their decision or I can apply for new visa. And also plz tell me whether this decision effects on my PR case for Canada. I have applied for PR against Federal skilled category. What are the chances for getting new USA visa.Thanx

Regards

It means that you were ordered removed from the United States, and can not return for a period of 5 years, unless you get special permission from the Attorney General of the United States... In otherwords, you were deported. If you attempt to re-enter before 5 years, your prior order will be reinstated and the banned increased to 20-years.

212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) - Immigrant Without an Immigrant Visa

ALLEGATIONS:

1. You are not a citizen or national of the United States;

2. You are a native of __________ and a citizen of ______________;

3. You are an immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing card, or other valid entry document required by the Immigration and Nationality Act;

and/or

3[4]. You are an immigrant not in possession of a valid unexpired passport, or other suitable travel document, or document of identity and nationality.

CHARGE:

212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), as amended, as an immigrant who, at the time of application for admission, is not in possession of a valid unexpired immigrant visa, reentry permit, border crossing card, or other valid entry document required by the Act, and a valid unexpired passport, or other suitable travel document, or document of identity and nationality as required under the regulations issued by the Attorney General under section 211(a) of the Act.


NOTE: Most arriving aliens who are inadmissible under section 212(a)(7) are subject to expedited removal under section 235(b)(1). Use this charge, when applicable, as an additional charge against an alien who is also inadmissible on other grounds
(including an alien who is present without inspection).

I think the guys at the POE were under the impression that you were not going to jump on your flight to Canada, but were in fact going to catch one to California.

no need to vorry -when you get the PR visa for CANADA you can travel to the US without any problems -also your problem on the US border will not afect your aplication for PR CANADIAN visa ; relax -avoid US for awhile and travel to the US only when you get PR visa for CANADA
 
No.. He can not travel to the United States without a problem once he gets a PR visa from Canada. Canada has nothing to do with United States Immigration Laws, the only benefit to him is that he will not have as long of a trip once the US deports him.


That is too general a statement and may mislead the OP.

Hello,
Thanx to all of u giving me ur precious views. The behaviour of CBP officers was very nice. First they decided to permit me to enter in USA for 15 days but after may be I said some thing they refused. One more thing my visa was in my old passport and I was travelling on my new passport. My photo in both passports was different. In my old passport cause I am a Sikh I was wearing a turban and in new passport I have clean shave photo. Is it possible that they thought me a different person? Because after ten years my face changed a lot.Plz give me ur advice.thanx.

Regards.
 
nicksharma, dont worry about your canadian application if you have already filed it. However if you stayed in the states over 6 months canadians will require to provide FBI clerance letter from the US where you lived. Also, when they will call you for an interview, make sure it wont be in the states, because you will need to have a new visa which probably they wont give it to you.
Regarding to the US case, you should take that 15 days chance, however nothing to regret about now. You will win much more being in Canada than in the states. For 99% you wont be able to travel down south until you get your Canadian passport, so dont get refusal silly stamp from the US consulate when you will apply for a new visa cuz chance of getteing it is really low.

You must have your fingerprints and eye-print, so they wont care about your turban.
