I was stopped re entering the US once (I am a resident alien with a dependent visa). Because I am in my twenties, female, and traveling alone - CBP detained me, searched my things, yelled at me until I was in tears and accused me of forging my travel documents because they believed I was trying to "run away" to America to get married. <br /><br />After hours of tears and humiliation, I was "escorted" to my plane and allowed back into the US. I am now flagged (I never did ANYTHING!) and have been waiting patiently for over thirty days to hear back from DHS TRIP as well. Everything I have read online leads me to believe that nothing is going to change my "flagged" status. It's an absolute nightmare as now every time I re enter the US I am detained, have my passport and luggage confiscated and I wait three to four hours in a holding corral while they do whatever it is they have to do before they let me in. It's horrible. Good luck.klm29https://www.blogger.com/profile/12852401711602159664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632723605058092560.post-23154632061330996572009-04-28T11:31:00.000-04:002009-04-28T11:31:00.000-04:00What a crazy ordeal.

I mean I'm VERY glad that there is a process in place from which they won't deviate - rule of law, after all is what keeps this all together, etc. But I can't help but imagining the typo in the VIN number that started it all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
