A Canadian citizen is searching for answers after he says he was denied entry in to the U.S. for no clear reason.

"Ranveer says a CBP officer eventually told him that he’s not allowed to enter the U.S. because his visa, from when he had an Indian passport, was revoked this year.

He was instructed to apply for either a B-1 (temporary business visitor) visa or a B-2 (tourist) visa, despite his brief layover in Miami. He was also advised to take any further questions to the U.S. Consulate in Toronto.

'That visa was in my Indian passport, which has already been cancelled,' said Ranveer. 'That visa is obviously not valid anymore because I am a Canadian citizen and a Nexus holder, so I don’t need a visa to go to the U.S.'”

I guess the Nexus/Global Entry meant nothing if you still get pulled out of the (shorter) queue in pre-clearance.

Michael told her he was not being given pain medication and one night was handcuffed through the night in a way that he couldn't sleep facedown as required after his surgery. Yaneisy says Michael told her that they didn't let him shower or give him a change of underwear when his briefs were covered in his blood and stool.“

"This is not hygienic. They left him there like a dog, like someone who's been thrown away,"

"People on short-term or recreational visas are not authorized to work in the US,"

I hear that every time I go through pre clearance at the airport here since the Great Recession. Of course then I got Nexus and used the Nexus or Global Entry kiosks. Must admit these Korean guys aren’t the sharpest pencils in the box.
