Hi,

I had an F-1 visa for study at the University of South carolina. I went there and attened school as required. I did miss school for a year in 2005 but then I returned to school for another year before coming home for chrsitmas in Dec 2006. Home is the UK by the way. After being denied entry at atlanta in Jan I was told that I need to get a new F-1 visa and my application for admission was withdrawn. I applied for a Visa in London on March 2nd and got denied under 214b. So with more evidence of intent to return to the Uk in hand, I tried again this time in Belfast and this time I was told that I was going to be refused a visa and I may be subject to a 3 year ban from the USA but she didnt know and that she (consular officer) was sending my case to different Agencies in the US for information about me. Sounds scray to me but I have had no trouble with the Police in either the UK or The US so I don't know what that is all about. Anyway she gave me my passport back but took my I-20 form.

This paperwork from the US could take forever to get back to me. What should I do? Should I file the a waiver form? If so which one? I do not have any family in the US all I want to do is complete my degree. At my first interview in London he did say something about a waiver but did not give me specifics. Can I file this for study or at least to get to the States to recover belongings? Please give some advice. I feel like I did more than enough to overturn the reason for denial in London under 214b. Any help would be most gratefully received. HELP!!!!

Thanks,

John
