REFUSED ENTRY TO USA

Does the US government usually give the reason for a refused entry to the country?

because you type in all Caps

I know that the US govt. gives a reason when they refuse to issue a passport to leave the country. Don't know about entering though.

are you by any chance a terrorist


i'm just asking

Can I just follow you around because you are making me laugh or is that being an internet stalker.

Try the local US Embassy or Consulate.

GET LIFE

you sound cool dude

us counslate is not very helpfull. how about getting legal aid do ya know any solicitors?

I've been denied entry to a couple of countries, and they usually write/stamp something that indicates a reason.

For example, the last time it happened I was returning to the country I lived after a visa trip and as usual was not carrying a ticket to leave the country as I tended to buy round trip tickets out and back and had never had any problems. They stamped my passport "entry denied" when I argued my case (seriously, at this country they never ever bothered with this rule other than this day and the guy was just giving me a hard time) and wrote in my passport that I was denied entry because I wasn't carrying a return ticket and enough cash. I had to go buy a ticket and withdraw the cash from an atm before they'd let me back in and in many such cases it doesn't mean much more than that.

You said they wrote something in the "back pages" of your passport, well what did they write? It might hint at the reasons.

Just search for "immigration lawyer" in any search engine and you'll find plenty.

SO WHAT DIT THEY RITE AT THE BACK PAGES OF YOUR PASSPORT? THAT MIGHT BE A CLUE.

it is something 2 do wiv visa waiver programme. acctually i didn't over stay.The usa border control authorities av an attitiude problem dey look down at you unless you are us citizen.

i think it is sumfing 2 do wiv visa waiver stuff. but da thing is causing me concern dat usa authorties can screw up ya clean record by feeding bs bout my profile

If all you can extract from it is "something" then you may want to go ahead with your idea to find a lawyer as that isn't much to go on and they'll surely be able to help you more than we can without any information.

And yeah, the immigration folk are often "stern" to put it mildly, and I've seen campaigns where they try to make them more friendly. But to be honest this is not something particular to the US. I've run into queen-of-their-routine immigration officers in many countries. Part of their job is to be suspicious of the entrants, and more than often they are willing to take that to an extreme.

I'm an American citizen but have been scolded by American immigration, Brazilian immigration, Costa Rican immigration.... the list goes on. Their job is to be pedantic bastards at times.

oh i understand now so they treat their own usa citizen the same way.

Sometimes, though there is certainly also a significant bit of profiling that I am not subject to. Still, I've been treated sternly by many US immigration and customs agents. For some of them it is part of their attempts to flush out the things they are looking for and they'll often ask pointed questions (e.g I often get asked why my passport is stamped that much, why I am traveling so light, and what I was "up to" overseas).

i think u r rite it is part of their job to put unessasary pressure on whoever is entering usa. but personally i don't think this da rite way of dealing wiv public.
for instance if they r giving hard time to a person who doesn't have any criminal history at all and on top of dat they r asking dat person 2 leave usa in certain time how wud dat person fell? i think dat is an out of order. dn't get me wrong my freind dis mite be da reason y da high ranking americans r most hated around the world

High ranking americans hated around the world? Not according to people I talk to in other countries. Geez when I went to Europe, those people were scared of their own government officials.
