I was refused entry in Philadelphia and put on the next flight back to
Manchester, the POE guy wrote:-
A96204165 Visa waiver Refusal 212.721 7022

Anybody knows what these numbers mean?
Thanks In Advance

Hi:

Looks like a scribble -- the first set of numbers is your file number for the rest of your life -- A96 204 165

Visa Waiver Refusal will be under 8 CFR 217.4(a)(1) -- which is not such a bad thing -- it is NOT a formal "removal" which has all kind of legal consequences.

I kind of see the possiblity of 212(a)(7) in those numbers.

In the Immigration Act -- an "immigrant" without proper documents is defined at section 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) while a "non-immigrant" without proper documents is 212(a)(7)(B)(i)(II). Please note that not qualifying for the requested status falls under the rubric of not having proper docouments.

Did you visited the US frequently lately ..or did you overstayed in the past?

I'd visited 4 times (this would have been my 5th) - crazy part is they
stamped my daughters passport as accepted in but wrote that line in the
front page of my passport - guess I'm marked for life now.

Wonder if it will affect the fiance visa process?

Thanks for your help - so it should read 212.7a1

So basically in simpleton terms they just werent happy that I was on the
Visa Waiver Program - so that should not affect the I129F that my fiance
is in the process of applying for now then?

I feel a little easier this morning

Thanks Again
Graham
