Review Topic: Port of Entry Review

I entered the US through Washington Dulles Airport. I was stopped at the immigration and was asked what I did in the US in 1994. Not sure why he kept asking me about 1994 and my recent entries in the US.

I was sent over to the small room...and I found out that they were accusing me for an overstay of 1994 that I have never done. Why now it become an issue when I could come to the US 26 times after that visit.

Small room was very scary. Officer was yelling at people. I was also upset at first that they put my envelope aside from any others and left me alone for an about 30 minutes, and all the other people who came after me were called before me.

1 hour later, they finally called my name and still asked me about my illegal stay in 1994. And they told me they need to check my status in the system more and need a few more minutes...but it ended up over 30 minutes. They said I still show in their system that I did an illegal stay in 1994 and they will try to fix it but can't gurrantee that they could, but I am ok to go...not really sure what was going on, but it feel that they forgot to check something and when they did it showed I was ok to go...or something like that. I hope this won't be an issue when I apply for AOS.

Of course, I missed my connecting flight. The next flight was 5 hours later...and finally my fiance and I reunited 26 hours later since I left my house in Japan!!

I just hope other people who go through this airport won't have the same bad experience as me. I am scared if I have to go through this airport again. Good luck everyone!!
