Background
After a year’s gap, I was returning to US In 2006 on a valid H1 – B visa. At the port of entry, I was asked for my current employment letter, which I did not have it with me. So, I was refused entry and instead an I – 275 was executed, my visa was cancelled, and an annotation was written on a passport page mentioning “Application withdrawn. I-275 executed. 212 (a)( 7) ( B) (i) ( II)”. Apart from this annotation on the passport, I was not given any additional documentation at that time.
Current Situation:
Now, in 2010, I recently applied for a L2 visa and attended the visa interview along with my spouse who is the primary applicant. Questions were asked about the incident in 2006, and a visa was not immediately issued to me. Instead, I was issued a 221(g) and after a month, my visa was issued successfully. However, there is this annotation on the visa in my passport – “NCIII class hit does not mean visa ineligibility”.
I had these queries in relation to the above annotation:
1. Does the above annotation signify anything negative, for admission at the port of entry?
2. Considering the case history, is there any additional documentation that one needs to carry, for admission at the port of entry?
3. Is there a ready explanation that one has to have, when the Port of entry officer queries about the annotation on the visa?
Thanks and Regards,
