1) A young woman coming into the country alone to meet a man she is not related to or is conducting business with? Yeah, sounds like it could definitely be someone who is coming into the country and not planning on returning.
3) Why do people think these peeps don't have access to relevant and sophisticated government databases? Hasn't this been what they've been beefing up for the past decade? Haven't people been on them to improve this--and they have been (slowly but surely).

Thanks, Sonrisa. My family member was the one who freaked out after the border guard mentioned the "fired" thing, so I basically had no choice but to leave. However, I do think I made the right decision.

OMG yes, this! I am shocked at everyone's disbelief that this happened. Border control is no joke lately!

If I were you I would stop responding to any more posts about this. It has become so redundant and you don't owe anyone of any more explanation. I'm just so glad you're ok and I hope you've learned something after going through this. I hope you find a nice local guy to date one of these days. :-)

I think they do - I just doubt the BP dude would share that information.
But I'm glad it didn't have to go to a bolt of lightning and a voice from the sky saying, "TURN BACK STUDYTIME," for her to stop.
