Case Studies

H, an F-1 student on Curricular Practical Training (CPT), was stopped at the airport, interrogated for hours, had his visa revoked under 22 C.F.R. 41.122(e)(3), and was found to be inadmissible under Section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I). There were suspicions about the nature of the work that he was engaged in. H contacted us for a consultation. We reviewed the Record of Sworn Statement in Proceedings which contained his interview at the airport; discussed the legal consequences of the incident; assisted him in completing his new DS-160 visa application form, including addressing the airport incident; and prepared him for his new visa interview. After his visa interview and a short 221(g) administrative processing, H received a new student visa and returned to the United States.
