Hi there,
The headline says it all. I went for a TN visa 6 months ago (in April) and was denied based on my experience not being exactly what they wanted for the category. I have since stayed out of the U.S. for 6 months and I wanted to go on vacation next month to Florida for 2 weeks.
I am absolutely terrified of re-entering as the border agents gave me such a hard time, I am fearful I can never enter the U.S. again. I have gone out of my way to avoid even stopping at a U.S. airport on a layover for the past few months.
Here are my questions:
- If i was denied a TN visa, does that mean I am denied entry into the U.S. and will forever have a hard time getting back in because of a "black stamp" on my record? My lawyer never adequately answered this question, just said "they can deny you if they see fit".
- If I am denied THIS time, then I will probably never be allowed back in the U.S., right?
- Are they going to deny me based on zero basis? I know from dealing with them last time they can make a decision if they want to, despite having all the materials by the book and following all the rules. I'm terrified they'll deny me for whatever reason they invent.
- If I have an enter and return ticket, as well as my employment records and am with my family members - will that constitute strong ties to Canada?
Is there any way for me to look up my record (i'm scared they wrote something on it - the border agent DESPISED me and told me they "didn't need me here" and "needed more doctors and engineers to save this country" and threw my passport at me), and see if they did this? Is there any way for me to call the U.S. consulate (I know that seems like a waste of their time) to see if I can come back into the U.S.?
Please help. I'm not sure I can make my flights, or if I should enter at a land crossing to avoid wasting the costs on a flight.
