Hello to Everybody.

First of all sorry for my english, it is not perfect.

Some info about me, in case it is needed. So my name is Arthur I Am 28, I live in Russia Moscow city. I graduate university here, has been studying tax law for 6 years.

Here is short story. All my relatives from farther side are living in Los-Angeles. My uncle, my aunt and my cousins. First time I had visited them back in summer 1996. Since then I was dreaming to live in America:) I were lucky to visit my family several times so 1996 2001 2004 2008 2010-2011 all under B1/B2

- During my previous visit I got in trouble. I had arrived to States in october 2010 and went back to Russia in april 2011, so I haven't overstayed allowed 6 month in I-94 form. After staying in Russia for 10 day I had decided to go back to States and spend more with my family. My flight was through washington where all the bad things started. First border officer sent me to extra control. There I got in hands of the man/officer who truly hate all people. He said that I look suspicious to him. Asked why I've been staying for almost six month and coming back so shortly. Basically he was looking for reasons to not let me in. And because of my stupidity he founds it. During my luggage check he found a pack with 8 medical cannabis seed, I bought them for a present to my friend who is a patient with doctor prescriptions. Like I understand they didn't really care what kind of seeds it was. The thing is that in form 6059b under question 11a I signed NO. That means I have no fruits veggies etc and seed with me BUT I had them. I swear to God I totally forgot about them..... After that I become some kinda number one enemy to them! Specially to this mad officer Ka Ho Tong... Interrogation with handcuffs. I was totally destroyed after that...

So after a many hours they said that they can make a deal for me, they called it withdraw application. I didn't know what does it mean at all, but they said in other way it will be worst for me. So I signed some paper and after that I was thrown in airport jail. After ~24 hours they sent me back to Russia. This situation was a disaster for me and my family in States, my mother still doesn't know about it. She is dreaming of my living in States...(

- Now I want to recover my positive status and get at least the same B1/B2 visa. But I don't know is it possible at all.

In my previous passport with canceled US visa there a couple of important codes.

212(a)(7)(A)(i) and 22 cfr 41.122(h)(3) - WHAT THEY MEAN and what should I do to get a new visa...

GREAT THANKS to everybody here,

For Your time, reading and attention!!!

You will never come back to the US. Medical cannabis is exactly the same as all cannabis, and you were smuggling it across borders.

Sorry to hear what happened to you. You can apply for another visa, If they give you chance to even enter the embassy and let you speak. You may explain but from what I read from your story the chance you get approved in lower than -1% .

Good luck

knock on wood!

There was no cannabis! Just a 8 seeds.

Ok then, if it was just what ever regular seed, what is then...?

Before they sent me back, other officer was working with me...

He said that my situation not that serious and I can apply for the new visa tomorrow...

The main question is about CODES. They mean something. And I did a little research over the internet. From text which I was able to understand I figured out that those codes a far from worst...

Thank You!!!

Sounds like you partly at least got lucky.

The first one basically says you were seeking entry on the wrong visa, they believed that you were living in the US.

The second one says that your visa is cancelled.

The odd thing is that your visa seems to be been cancelled with prejudice, usually they seem to be cancelled without prejudice.

They could have deported you, much worse.

Apply and see if you want another Visa, depends partly what else is on your records.

[ArthurSkyNet 0]

At least some positive info.

Thank you Sir

I heard there is a way to request records or case status from uscis.?

[ArthurSkyNet 0]

Any other thoughts on situation and codes will be VERY appreciated.

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

One code ( the 212 ) means they found you to be a resident without correct paper ( they found you to be using your B2 to live in the US ) the second code is for the fact you withdrew you application to enter ( to show you left on your own and wasn't formally deported )

Seeing that you have been found in violation of the untended use of a B2 visa it is highly unlikely to ever get any non immigrant visa again. Unless you have a parent or sibling to petition you in the states it is unlikely you will go back for many years.

Yes, officer was saying that he thinks that I was attempting to imigrate. But it is NOT true! If I was attempting I could just stay there. What is the problem there, I had a VALID visa for 3 years and I am willing to spent the time with my family without breaking any rules, stupid seeds is not a reason to break peoples lives...

I heard about situations where people had worst violations with case status and they were able to get new visas

Please more thoughts for 212(a)(7)(A)(i) and 22 cfr 41.122(h)(3)

How can I check my records and case status.

Is there anything that licensed lawyer can help me with?

Thank you people! Really appreciating for this help...

[NigeriaorBust 4,087]

A 3 year visa means for 3 years you can visit the US for no more than 180 days. By staying for nearly 6 months you should have waited 6 months before returning not try to reset you visit with a 10 day vacation. No matter how you spin it you were living in the US. You won't see another b2 in your life most likely

There is no case to check. If you want to find out whether you're going to get another visa, you need to go ahead to apply for one. There is nothing you can figure out ahead of time or lawyer can help you with. You will given all the explanations here you could, what else do you want to hear ?

As others told you your chances of ever getting non-immigrant visa are very low.

[Cathi 5,748]

They found you were living here with your b2. You stayed almost 6 months, went for home 10 days and turned around and came back. No matter how you phrase it, you were living in the US. You are only allowed to stay 180 days in a calendar year, going home for a vacation does not reset the clock, so they cancelled your visa. You can apply for another b2, but the likelihood of you getting one is just about zero. Unless an immediate family member(mother, father or sibling)petitions for you for an immigrant visa( the wait time in that category is about 12 years)you cannot return. If you are here wanting people to tell you there is a way around your situation, you are out of luck. Consider yourself lucky that they didn't deport you for trying to smuggle drugs, seeds are just as bad as the real thing. It doesn't matter that you " forgot" that you had the seeds, you had them.

[Boiler 45,486]

The only way to find out is to apply.

When you were refused entry, how long did you say you were coming for?

[ArthurSkyNet 0]

damn... they were about to let me in, but stupid me and my stupid luggage.

And what about talks where people getting banned for 5 years? Then what they are able to get new visas? My situation is worse than this, nobody said about any ban or something...

What about lawyers, is there are any things they can assist with getting visa, otherwise giving me the same info which you guys helped me with...?

Thanks for your time...

[Boiler 45,486]

The official reason you were refused entry was not to do with the seeds.
