Okay that’s what I’m going to do. It says online to go through uscis not cbp though. Last time I will mention it but if it was not “deportation” then do you think I could put on NVC cannot get the document and explain why. 

Do as you wish

I did not see that . If OP was removed t border , the Expedited Removal was w CBP . ..so no use for EOIR or USCIS. 
 

Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy …at this point a copy of passport page upload would help 

This topic was somewhat fragmented due to the OP starting 3 different related threads which were eventually merged....I came in on the 3rd one (where only the word "removal" was mentioned.....LOL.

My apologises I should’ve double checked before posting but it was “refused” not “removed”. Does this change any circumstance?

I am new to this site so I also thought I had to start a new thread for separate questions

I will post a picture of the stamp when I finish work

I was told specifically I was not banned but never allowed to use an esta again and would need a b2 to travel. This was also over 5 years ago now

Just do a FOIA with CBP and see what turns up.

If it says they did an expedited removal, include that, if they just denied you entry and voided your ESTA include that.

 

If it was under 5 years or you wanted to try ESTA again I'd recommend writing to them to ask that they nunc pro tunc:

1. Give you satisfactory departure for the time you overstayed your ESTA by two days because [list of reasons why that happened]

2. If first item is approved - allow you to withdraw the application for that second admission to clear up the record since in that case the eligibility wouldn't exist

 

But in this case, just give the consulate proof that you were either ER'd out, or just denied entry and allowed to leave on your own. Wouldn't hurt to explain in a cover letter as to what happened there exactly. "Overstayed ESTA by 2 days, was denied entry on subsequent trip, was not given an expedited removal.", or "Overstayed ESTA by 2 days, was denied entry and given an expedited removal on subsequent trip, more than 5 years have passed.".

Yeah do that. Current as proof of your identity, old as further document linking you to the entry record.

Thankyou both!

Hi guys, I found this template. Any ideas whether it’s a good one to follow with obviously all my information?

[James1998 12]

And to sign as I am completing online can I just type my full name and date and that classes as a signature?

Thankyou for everyone that helped! I have now received the correct documentation and can carry on with my nvc process.
