Hi everyone,
My husband is expected to come home on October 23rd after almost 2 years of being gone! We are very nervous about POE though? Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of being refused entry on a CR1 visa? After my husbands first attempt at an E2 visa was denied, he tried to come back on an APPROVED ESTA, but was sent back home after a 10.5 hr hold in customs in LAX. They told him to go back to Aus and come back with a B1/B2 visa. He was denied that visa, then tried again for his E2, but again denied due to lack of investment (over 100k, btw), which is when we began our process for our CR1. One of the reasons he was denied his B1/B2 was because he was coming to invest more in his business and he had overstayed his ESTA by 14 days the last time by accident. The consulate was all very aware of all of this and interviewed him on it as well, and approved his CR1 visa.
But like I said, we are terrified that he will get refused entry when he comes home on this VALID visa. Are we freaking out or do we have actual legitimate reason to worry? He has no criminal record, isn't involved in any illegal activity, and he is coming on an approved CR1. Anyone with any guidance or advice, please help!
Thank you!
