As this is a mistake of the immigration inspector at the airport, you should go back to an international flights airport to the deferred inspection section run by Customs and Border Protection, explain your situation, bring out whatever documents that you have, and try and have your problem rectified.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.
