do you have to visa you've been refused a visa before?
Hi
I am posting this on behalf of a friend. She is cuban and applied for a
tourist visa when she was a permanent resident of Spain. She wanted to
visit relatives in Spain. The visa was denied because they thought she
wanted to emigrate. That was several years ago. In the meantime she
became Spanish and now could visit the US without a visa. When she
fills out the immigration form, does she have to say she was refused a
visa before? Will she run into somekind of trouble? How should she
proceed?
Thanks

She will need to declare it, may result in a trip to Secondary, but should not be a big issue.

She should just tell the truth. Never lie to US immigration, no matter what.

Except that having been a citizen of a "terror-sponsoring nation" could
be trouble. Especially if her Cuban citizenship still exists (I don't
know if Cuba/Spain allows dual citizenship).

I must admit it never occurred to me that Cuba would fit into that category.

AFAIK, this should only come into play if they decide to register her arrival/departure in NSEERS, and could mean the person couldn't auto-revalidate an expired visa if that would ever come up.
