Was then taken to a correctional facility where I was cavity search and locked up for the night. I asked if I was been arrested or if I was suspected of any crime was told no.

It appears that you encountered a rude coming to the US, but you do not have a criminal record. As you signed a withdrawal of application for admission, your visa was canceled. For you to reenter the US, you would have to convince an American consular officer to issue you another one.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
