Case Studies

T had a boyfriend in the United States, but Customs and Border Protection became suspicious when she was visiting him often and for long periods of time. Finally, she was stopped and questioned in great detail. CBP revoked her visa, inscribing her visa with 22 CFR 41.122(e)(3); determined that she was inadmissible under Section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I); allowed her to withdraw her application for admission; and sent her back to her home country. But CBP did not give her the Record of Sworn Statement (I-867) or the Withdrawal of Application for Admission/Consular Notification (I-275). These documents are obtainable through the Freedom of Information Act process, but the problem is that process can take several months. On T’s behalf, we contacted the airport directly requesting those documents. Within a few days, we received those documents from CBP. The documents helped to clarify her situation and enabled her and her boyfriend to plan their immigration steps going forward.
