My girlfriend has a 5 year waiver. She started college and the CBP gave her an F1. She had to get a change made to the F1 and the CBP at a different port, updated it. All was good. Then she went to a different port to get a date adjusted and they denied her entry saying the waiver said B1/B2 and not F1.
Her 5 year waiver is still good. I'm trying to understand, if she tries to user her waiver after say 4 months of being out of the U.S. and is using it for tourism not school, is it likely they would ban her for trying to enter?
One issue I have with the CBP is nobody knows the rules. We are trying to follow the laws and rules to the letter, but that's hard to do when you don't know the rules. I don't know if calling CBP they would answer that question? I can't call with my phone even call blocking my caller ID because they know who you are anyway and I don't want to cause more trouble for us by calling.
Any info anyone has would be most appreciated!
