My wife was recently denied entry into the US from Canada (attending a conference), due to a shoplifting charge dating back to when she was a teenager, about a decade ago. We were not given any formal documentation, but she was printed and photographed, so I am sure she cannot enter until we somehow receive a waiver.
Apparently, this was a single event but there were 3 charges because she had taken 3 clothing items at a shopping mall. She served community service.
As I understand, she was brought to Canada by herself when she graduated high school in the US and she had no money or property. Her family was Canadian, but remained in the US. She has since received two University degrees in Canada.
I would appreciate any ideas as to what documentation I should look for. As I understand, she cannot ever travel to the US under any circumstances ever again. As an American citizen, I cannot ever expect to accept a job in the US and live with my wife.
