Question 2

A traveler admits to a prior visa overstay of 200 days, then departed. Which bar, if any, applies?

Accepted Answer

The 3-year bar for unlawful presence of more than 180 days but less than one year

Unlawful presence over 180 days but under one year triggers the 3-year inadmissibility bar upon departure.

Question 3

What is the significance of a Visa Waiver Program (VWP) traveler being found inadmissible at the port of entry?

Accepted Answer

They may be refused entry and generally cannot contest before an immigration judge

A person who knowingly encouraged or aided another noncitizen to enter the U.S. illegally

Answer

Knowingly assisting another to enter the U.S. unlawfully triggers the alien smuggling ground under INA 212(a)(6)(E).

Question 5

A noncitizen previously removed and who reenters without authorization may face which serious consequence?

Accepted Answer

Reinstatement of the prior removal order and potential criminal prosecution for illegal reentry
