Case Studies

It was a mystery to us and X, a Chinese scientist: why had she been permanently barred from the US under Section 212(a)(6)(C)(i) and which agency made the decision? Was it CBP or the consular officer that made the decision? The initial consular responses to our inquiries were coy and opaque. Only upon repeated requests and sheer persistence did the consulate back down: yes, it had made the decision, and after further review, it realized that it had made a serious mistake. Finally, it removed the 6Ci bar — a bar that never should have been imposed in the first place.
