About 3 years ago my friend who had a b1/b2 visa was denied entry into the US on the grounds that they suspected that she was working illegally in the US ( she was). she got married to a US citizen last week and is in the process of filing the I130. I told her that she may have to file some waiver or something but she has done nothing. does she need to file a waiver? if so which? how long will it take? and is this a very serious offense?

Guess it depends. If she told the truth or if they caught her in a lie, and how they wrote up the incident!

I can only speak of Canadians! But I know some do get denied entry while trying to visit their spouse and it causes no harm to their visa, as long as they told the truth, they simply get turned around and not let to enter. 99.9% of Cdn airports have USA POE there ( Saskatoon doesnt) so when they get denied, they are still on Cdn soil!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Denial of entry and being deported is 2 different scenario.

When someone is being denied of entry, they did not commit any offence. I would advise your friend to be really honest if she is being asked. Honesty is the best policy. As when you tell the truth, you don't have to remember the lies.

Good luck to your friend.
