    Reentry After Removal Without a Felony Conviction
    My case is very peculiar. I am a German citizen and lived in the U.S. for seven years with a Green Card (I was married to an American Citizen, now divorced).

    I returned back home to Germany in 2005 and have lived here permanently since then. When I tried to enter the U.S. last August for a 2-week visit, my German passport was taken away by the immigrations officer, and I was given an order to appear. The German embassy got involved, and after my passport was not given back, they issued me a temporary passport so I could go back home.

    I have tried everything humanly possible to clear this up, even wrote a registered letter to the judge who was over my case. But nevertheless, I was ordered removal.
    I had no intention of staying in the U.S., and to this day, only want to visit. I have no criminal record in any country and am a professional musician who needs to travel a lot.

    Is there a chance for me to apply for reentry (as a visitor) even before the 10-year exclusion period has passed? It's important for me to at least be able to transit the U.S., since many flights have a stopover in the States.

    Thanks for any advice.

    You tried to enter on a German passport, without presenting your Green Card? And you were detained on what basis? What INA codes were cited? What INA codes were marked in your passport?

    You were actually deported? Why weren't you able to voluntarily depart? The grounds for deportation were what?
