This past week, we learned that two individuals were refused entry to the United States. One was an H-1B computer scientist. His I-129 petition was approved over a year ago, and that led to questions about the job in secondary inspection. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) called the employer contact listed on the H-1B petition, who did not remember the details or know that the individual was flying that day. He received expedited removal because CBP did not believe the job offered was real.
The other was a Ph.D. engineering student from China. She had received an F-1 visa stamp at a U.S. consulate. However, CBP questioned her about her work and found that the resume she submitted at the consulate was shortened from a longer version she had on her laptop. She was allowed to withdraw her request for admission, and return to China to apply for a new F-1 visa stamp.
Attorneys have reported that CBP has new instructions to vigorously scrutinize applicants for admission to the United States. So employers and employees must be vigilant to ensure they are all on the same page regarding travel and the specifics of the petition. Being consistent during all aspects of the immigration process are critical during this time of heightened scrutiny.
