Returned at immigration

[dhm2 0]

Hello,

 

A friend of mine recently passed through American immigration in Aruba but was detained. His European passport now has the following numbers and we are wanting to know what they mean:

 

8CFR217.4(A)(1)                  March 14, 2018 

A#216451300                       7424 AUA

 

Thank you

8 CFR 217.4(a)(1): An alien who applies for admission under the provisions of section 217 of the Act, who is determined by an immigration officer not to be eligible for admission under that section or to be inadmissible to the United States under one or more of the grounds of inadmissibility listed in section 212 of the Act (other than for lack of a visa), or who is in possession of and presents fraudulent or counterfeit travel documents, will be refused admission into the United States and removed. Such refusal and removal shall be made at the level of the port director or officer-in-charge, or an officer acting in that capacity, and shall be effected without referral of the alien to an immigration judge for further inquiry, examination, or hearing, except that an alien who presents himself or herself as an applicant for admission under section 217 of the Act and applies for asylum in the United States must be issued a Form I-863, Notice of Referral to Immigration Judge, for a proceeding in accordance with 8 CFR 208.2(c)(1) and (c)(2).

 

What exactly happened during his discussions with CBP + detainment? Did he make any false statements, present false documents, etc?

Anything about INA 212(a)(7)(a)(i)(i)? This is a refusal due to immigrant intent.

Was he offered to withdraw his application for entry, or was he issued an expedited deportation?

Could you tell us what happened?  What was said?

 

A code can be very broad and deal with multiple possible reasons why he was denied.

It means he can not visit the US.

8CFR217.4(A)(1)   - the specific INA section which the denial of admission was based on, as per @geowrian s post above.

March 14, 2018  - self explanatory

A#216451300  - their A#. Have they visited/lived in/had a visa for the US before?

7424 AUA - officers number and AUA is pre- clearance location code for Aruba.
