You do not have a ban, you are flagged. Nobody can tell you what will happen if you seek entry.

Maybe a C/D?

Canadians dont normally apply for US visas.  We're granted a b1/b2 visa when we enter.    Where is this boat based out of? If its a US boat, you may need a work visa to work for a US company

Yes, you're right! If I'm not granted a visa however, my boat may just leave me in Sint Maarten until they come back :/ 

Could be worse.....

As has been mentioned going through phones etc is not normal so no doubt there is a sigificant back story.

I'd too ignore that.. in favor of Sint Maartin.

since you live in toronto, go to buffalo for the day to go shopping and see what happens.. that is really the only way u will know.. just be honest.. you are flagged and will be brought in and im sure they will search your phone/electronics again.

 

most canadians i know that had a withdraw application never needed to apply for a b2.

 

a b2 is generally needed if you are a criminal and have to apply for one that way..

I was a guest on a boat trip to the Bahamas and arrived back into Miami by boat. The CBP suspected I was working on the boat (which I wasn't) and moreso demanded to go through my phone.

The manifest should have shown who were passengers and who were crew.

Yeah the manifest on the boat did state who were passengers and who were crew. When the CBP were questioning me, they said 'we know about this boat.' They didn't get into detail but I guess the boat has had problems before.

 

In terms of the C/D, most yachts only require crew members to have a B1/B2.

What matters is what US Immigration want.

Hello everyone!

 

Just a quick update but my visa interview will be this week! I'm more excited than nervous as I have my captain's job offer letter, the boat's registration (for Sint Maarten!) papers and crew list (just a list of who the crew member's are on the boat). I won't lie I'm a tiny bit nervous about the 'withdrawn application' on my file however, my boat will only be in Miami for two weeks for the boat show that's happening there and then were heading back to the islands which I'm really going to stress in my interview. 

 

Please wish me luck!
