from what am hearing it seems like its not only about you but when they pull up ur records and check like ur family members etc thats where the problem starts, a guy they was saying it had a lady who owned alot of properties, has a car rentals, money in d bank etc and apparently her brother over stayed his time in the US a couple times so now that she apply to go they blank her

[Chimera]

i actually had some problems last week when i went miami

they put my passport in a red folder, put me in a separate room and questioned me about "if i had trouble 3 weeks ago" i only get my visa about 2 weeks ago eh.

why i come to the usa, why am I staying at XYZ instead of ABC (abc being my usual place i stay by)
If I live at XYZ, who lives at XYZ, Who is that person to me

4 armed guards escort me from that room down to the customs area where they empty out my suitcase and backpack and then scan the empty suitcase and backpack

again ask me why I come to the usa, how long i staying, how much $$ i have, by that time the flight has already cleared out and it was me alone and around 10-12 customs officials
each one walking over..watching my passport...then watching me vex vex, asking each other what going on with me.
overheard one say "he claim he's here for business"

then "okay all clear, you can pack back your bag and exit through that door"

i swear them wudda shoot me or send me back yes

i just hope i don't get that problem everytime I go.
was quite annoying

My in-laws get that all the time. Traveling together several times a year yet they always pull my mother in law into the room as above while father in law has to wait. Dunno what's the reasoning behind it.

[S_2NR]

Sorry to hear that ABA. They probably thought u smugglin. Never happened to me or my family though. *knock on wood*

[Habit7]

If that was me...

After all the Locked Up Abroad I watched...



I would have vomit up my drugs and confess to everything, dem guys rel scary

This is why I prefer to use Fort Lauderdale airport instead.

Miami officials tried that sheit on my mother, all 4.5 feet of her, and she tell them "your country in sheit, you have no money, no jobs, and you trying to give me a hard time about spending my foreign money here?"

(This is where she slams the door really hard, by pulling out her Canadian passport and saying) "If you don't like my money or you don't like my black a$$ then put me on a damn plane outta here and keep your damn VISA! (not sure why she was using her TT passport)"

The left alone and let go on her way

Uncle of mine usually has some trouble when going up. Plans to go up around September. Hopefully wouldn't get hell this time. Don't have a problem checking people if they suspicious but sometimes they check the least likely people which makes them look stupid in my opinion.

[Chimera]

i assume they move so because I didn't travel in over a year and i travel less than 2 weeks after my visa was granted and was only staying 4 days

i just hope the next time i go i wont have the same issues

That will happen every time. My gf who has a muslim name, got flagged each time we went.

Her passport gets put in the red envelope, and has to go to a separate room and stuff.

The first time (MIA) they didn't give her the reason and they kept asking what is the purpose of the visit. Eventually they stamped it and let her on her way.

The second time (JFK) they said her name matches a male terrorist. The immigration dude in JFK was way more helpful, and even said it'll happen every time (until they catch the terrorist), so to plan an extra hour or 2 in between connecting flights, in case...
