Hey there,

 

So I have been reading through peoples interviews and noticed people have been asked if they have had any troubles at the border. Now I am Canadian Citizen and I have applied for a TN visa in the past (to be be close to my, and at the time my girl friend). TN Visa's are applied at the border or the CBP pre-cleance center in Canada.

 

Long story short the CBP officer did not grant me a TN visa on the grounds that "My degree did not qualify the profession I intended to work in", I withdrew my admission to the US.

 

Now I have seen the question of "have you had trouble at the border?", come up several times in people's interview. I am a little worried about that and was wondering how much of problem would that be.

 

I have the original copy of my withdrawal to admission which states the same reason. I have been able to go in and out of US besides that freely.

 

Thank you

I'm not a CBP officer so take my opinion as such, but I don't see that being an issue. "Trouble at the border" usually refers more to people getting caught trying to bring in undeclared items (food, alcohol, tobacco, etc), or those whose application to enter was rejected. Withdrawing an application is not the same thing as being rejected. I'm assuming you've made a standard crossing on a tourist (B2) since then?

Yes I have. Twice. In fact I am currently visiting my wife in the US.
