past overstay, fine and deport in Indonesia

[Dhilman2 5]

ON DS-16O form there is a question:  Have you ever been removed or deported from any country. I knew back in late 2O16 my fiancé had stayed working on an expired visa in Indonesia,  paid a penalty but then Was told she cant come back and work for 5yrs that her name was on a black list.  She did get a good police clearance certificate from them this week. Is this question an automatic denial coming to the US?

No, and it doesn't seem what happened is anything like a removal or deportation.   Sounds like she left voluntarily.

They gave her time to pay her penalty like 1O days or so.  I will ask her if they took her to the airport or IF she made her own arrangements and did it on her own.Thanks

My fiancé stated she was in detention till she paid her penalty and afterward, was taken while in their custody to the airport to depart the country. It was Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and there was no option to leave on her own or go back home to collect her things. With this removal in mind, is this an automatic decline for her coming here on the K1?
