Visiting- possibility of getting banned from reentry?

[Carrie7003 7]

My fiancé was denied entry while traveling to the US. (He had previously entered and left twice on an ESTA). He is considering applying now at the consulate for a tourist visa to visit me because after being denied entry, he is no longer eligible to travel on ESTA. I read somewhere that if border patrol officers deny entry again, there is a possibility they could also put him on a 5 year ban from reentry. We filed I-129F; is this risk of a ban real? We don't want to ruin everything by him attempting to visit.

hi

the 5 year ban is only for the tourist visa, they would cancel his visa and possibly ban him for 5 years, meaning he wouldn't be able to apply for another tourist visa

it won't have any effect on the k1 visa

First get your Visitor Visa which seems very unlikely.

If the Consulate have recently issued a visa not likely to be an issue on entry.

Out of curiosity, under what basis can they ban someone? Now I'm worried about my fiance visiting me. D:

Misrepresentation, as in lying to the CBP or consular agent about a material fact.

Drugs, Felons etc etc

I had made potential travel plans to spend time in another country with my fiance, but instead I moved to a big city in my home country. I have a brand-new job, lease, etc. - would it be considered a misrepresentation if I present these documents of ties to my home country, all the while had planned to spend most of the waiting time in another country and still see that as a possibility?

Whenever someone arrives in the US and is denied entry, one of two things happen: 1) they are allowed to withdraw application for admission voluntarily depart, or 2) they are expeditiously removed. If removal happens, there is automatically a 5-year 9A ban, which means they cannot get any visa for 5 years, unless they apply for and receive permission to reapply. CBP will often allow someone to voluntarily depart if there's not an egregious or knowing violation of immigration laws, and the person is able to quickly arrange an immediate flight out, but it's completely up to the officer whether to allow the voluntary departure or not.

First time hearing about this.
