My boyfriend was entrering the US on Dec 16 th on a H1 (valid until jan 31rst) and was told that the state department has revoked his visa on dec 9th. He was kept in detention that night and the next day 2 FBI officials came and talked to him. They told him that the reason for all this was that in 2001 when he was visitng Canada he took some pictures in downtown ottowa out of which one had th US embassy in the background.
I was with him in that trip. He had gotten his H1 stamped from the US consulate that day so we thought we will take
picture of his out the embassy. It was as innocent as that.
The FBI officials heard his story and agreed that he was wrongfully accused, however all they could do was file a report with their impression.
He was deported back to bombay and now we don't know what to do about this situation. His lawyers say that he has to go the US Consulate in India and find out more before he can apply for any kind of waiver.
Does anyone have any idea about deportation and any experience with going to the US Consulate in Mumbai?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
