CBP didnt allow me to enter to the United States last week. They suspect that I have been working ilegally the last time I went to US. Could i do something? Could I ask for a Visa now or I should wait?
It depends on the reason for the §217 refusal. If you can explain or refute the ground for refusal, you can attempt to obtain a visa at the American consulate or embassy. Otherwise, you may wish to wait for a while to establish your nonimmigrant intent and home ties in your present country of residence before approaching the American consulate or embassy for a visa.
