I got a 5 year ban as well under 212(a)(6)(c)(i) and 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(II). I (canadian citizen) was going to US to overlook a business and got banned based on the papers i had, i was not aware if i needed some sort of visa. The five years are now over and i tried to enter US yesterday and provided all my ties to Canada with job letter, tax returns, bills and lease documents.
I was denied re-entry agian. Reason as per the officer: 212(a)(6)(c)(i), can't enter as this states a life term ban, the notice that i recieved only said 5 years, the officer did'nt buzz and returned me back and suggested to apply for advanced entery with I-192. My wife was with me as well and they had no objection on her entry to US. We were going to see my sister in law as her sister in law is getting married and we had the invitaion.
Any suggestions? was the officer right saying that its a life time ban even though the "Notice and Order of Expedited Removal' says 5 years. Should i re-try or apply for advance entry?
'jennmass' were you able to re-enter US?
