DS160 Have you been refused admission to the US

[Momo12 7]

Hello I was wondering if anyone could help me out.

I was studying in the US at a university but decided to take a leave of absence. I didn't want to violate my terms on my student visa so I decided to take a weekend trip to Canada and return to the US on my visa waiver. I went through border protection once, but was pulled back by another agent to recheck my documents.

At that point, my student visa and visa waiver was revoked due to the lack of ties to Japan, I also didn't have a return ticket (rookie move, I know!). After my visa was revoked I flew back to Japan on the same day.

On the DS-160 I know I have to state "yes" that my visa was revoked and give an explanation but I wasn't sure if I had to say "yes" for the question "Have you ever been refused a u.s. visa or been refused admission to the united states?"

Any input will be helpful! Thanks so much for those who read this.

I think it is a yes because you were refused  admission.

Thanks for your super quick reply! That's what I was thinking too. So I guess I should just submit the same explanation for the DS-160. Better to be safe and say "yes" and give an explation then to be denied because I submitted false information.

Exactly always be honest, and you can explain the situation. Japan is not a red flag country as long as you didn't violate anything it will be ok.

 

This is what happens when it is false info

Nope, didn't violate anything. I was able to obtain a tourist visa afterwards so that I can enter the US now.

Thanks for the link, will definitely be saying "yes" on the DS-160 when the time comes!

 

Thank you so much for your time. Definitely helped with my anxiety

Unfortunately since it was almost 10 years ago, and I had a lawyer help me with the paperwork I don't remember the details of the paperwork.

It may be important though in order not to give contradicting information.... you should have said yes before when applying to tourist visa.

 

i would try and find those papers or a copy of your ds-160...
