YESTERDAY MY HONEY SHOULD ARRIVE

[goldenheart 0]

Hello All VJ's

Yesterday my honey was to arrive to Denver via POE Atlanta. But he never arrived!

I was in complete hysteric and attempt to call him on his cellular throughout the night. Needless to say, he called me at 4 am this morning to tell me that he has been detained and pending deportation.

I asked him why? and he said that they wanted him to sign a document, but they did not tell him the content of the document and he refused to sign it. They kept him in detention for 27 hours before deporting him. He said he do not know where they will be taking him because they confiscated his passport and visa. I called the immigration and they told me that they could not provide me with information, due to the Privacy Act. They said that I must talk to my fiance. My fiance called me soon after to tell me that he was leaving Atlanta in 10 minutes and I asked him a ton of questions but the officer behind him threathen to hang up the phone if he answered my questions. BTW, my fiance said they told him that he is ban from the USA for 5 years!!!!

I'm at a lost here and I do not know what to do!!!! Can someone provide me with some guidance here. I feel after all of my hard work, I failed in getting my honey home and now his life is totally screwed because of me

I'm sorry I can't help you, but I'm sure someone who can will be along. I hope you're able to get things resolved very soon.

Thanks Jenn,

It would help, if I only knew why they denied his entry.

let me say this Atlanta is the worst POE for Muslim immigrants. they had been harshly interviewing

marys husband for 2 hours. they also called mary asking weird questions too. I would be contacting my

congressman and an attorney. if he is banned he will have to do the waiver thing..

I sent you a PM.

Did he ever find out what the paper was that they wanted him to sign?

Regardless, this is BS. If he is 'banned' for not signing something w/out seeing what it was (which I thought was illegal for them to make him do), that is certainly a legal issue. That said, I wouldn't want to mess with it.

His LIFE is not screwed up. You just may have to live in Germany or something. After the way he was treated, I'm not sure I'd want to live here!

Talk to a lawyer NOW... I've never heard of anyone being actually denied entry and deported when they had a valid visa in their passport... this sounds terrible.

Why did he refuse so adamantly to sign the paper??! what did he think it was?@!?!

This sounds like something different, but back in March/April of 2002 the INS at the Detroit Airport were turning away people with valid visas because the petition had expired and the embassy hadn't officially revalidated it.

OMG what a nightmare!! I can't imagine! I would get a lawyer right away as someone else suggested.

That is crazy.....damm. To my knowledge the approved petition gets you the visa........once visa is in hand the petition has completed its purpose.

that when he went to POE. he had to sign a paper

mostly about him. like a BIO paper. he said just information about

HIM- he said it was normal information.

Golden, at this point because, it looks like he refused to sign it is the

reason why he got denied. if that is true. its F up

they did not have a translater for him.

This was my first thought too.

I also see your time line is a little bumby. Let me just ask this one honest question. Are you absoultly sure he did go to the interview and did receive his K1 visa? I am sure he told you he went, but do you know for sure? Did you contact the consulate and ask if indeed the K1 visa was indeed issued? I only ask this because if he tried to come over on a visitor visa, I could certainly see why he was turned back with a ban.

I do not mean to imply anything here, just trying to help you eliminate possible questions, as there seems to be more to this that you do not know about.

Stephen was denied entry as well, I waited for hours and hours and i was never told he was denied and i sat at the airport waiting, I even placed a call back to customs while waiting and they told me no one had been denied so i waited and waited finally called home to check if any messages had been left by him and there was one 'he whispered hunny im so sorry they wont let me in I love you and please call my family and make arrangments for me to be picked up in manchester and i did, i called his mum and they picked him up he ended up getting home before i did and my drive to the airport was only 2 hours..he came threw dulles washington<IAD> on the VWP and is not allowed back in the states..... Just wanted to let you know your not the only one...Best Wishes~Kelle
