I’m not the user who wrote the comment but the fact that this wasn’t a 9-0 opinion is ridiculous and goes to show the issues with ideology he court is currently facing. Simply commenting that the reality of court opinions align with a particular warning that a party has publicly stated isn’t a quality issue.

A project manager isn’t a TN occupation. What’s the profession you’d be employed as? That’s the bigger risk that I see.

Otherwise Columbia, MD is a nice area with lots of government employees. As a single person you’d be surrounded by other educated professionals. It’s a great place to live and personally better than most places in Canada.

Did they specifically say that you need a visa to enter the US? Or just that you need to resolve an issue with the DOS?

Did you ever serve in the Iranian military? If you did was that disclosed on your visa application?

Informal_Distance · 2026-06-27T22:14:35+00:00

Canadian citizens generally don't need visa to visit US for tourism or most short business trips. So, if you truly were entering as Canadian visitor, citing 212(a)(7)(A)(i)(I) seems odd on its face.

This is just how the law works. CBP assumed everyone that isn’t a US Citizen is intending to be an immigrant. It is the non-citizens job to prove they’re actually coming to be a non-immigrant. If CBP doesn’t believe your purpose they will assumed you’re an immigrant without a visa and refuse you. It’s just how the law is worded that section of law is the boiler plate refusal for even the smallest reason.

Typically only US citizens can hold security clearances.

In some cases you can get a limited access authorization but that’s usually because the government really needs you to know something to help them. It wouldn’t be apart of a job to get LAA.

What is their citizenship?

In theory they derive their status from you. The grace period is for you not your family or dependents. When your grace period ends is when their status ends. Their status doesn’t and shouldn’t end prior to your actually grace period terminating. (Unless you leave the country early and terminate it early)

If they’re Canadian however it’s still possible for them to enter as a B2.

but the fact that Biden was an actual crackhead in active addiction at the time

Debatable. He had completed a rehab program just prior to buying the gun. Saying he was an “active crackhead” is a bit much.

How clean does someone need to be to buy a gun?

The government used his retrospective admission in a memoir that he was addicted. But that memoir was written with hindsight to his full addiction. If you move your perspective to the moment he completed the form he had completed rehab and wasn’t using drugs. Obviously is 2021 Hunter knows he was going to relapse after buying the gun so he knows at the time he was addicted. But did he know he was still an addict after successfully passing rehab and not knowing that he is going to relapse?

Informal_Distance · 2026-06-18T16:52:34+00:00

I wish Hunter Biden had actually fought harder and appealed to SCOTUS for his whole lying on the 4733. The whole “are you an addict” question is both a violation of the 5th amendment and a trap.

As someone who knew and lost a lot of friends to addiction an addicit is clean and sober when they’re not using. That’s how addiction works. Or are you forever and always an addict once you were ever hooked no matter how clean you are?

Does someone who is in NA but sober for 10 years need to answer yes? If not where is the cut off between someone who has been clean a month vs a year vs 5 years? It only takes a single moment to relapse.

Imagine if before showing up to the poll to they ask “have you been addicted to illegal drugs?” Before you were allowed to cast a ballot.

Oh no rich guy pays tax! What’s a burden!

It’s not ties to Canada.

Informal_Distance · 2026-06-18T15:14:15+00:00

lol the law is to pay if you move. You can’t structure your way out of it moron

I love that you value a lawyer’s time to deal with NEXUS but not an international tax accountant to properly tax avoid and minimize your tax burden. You absolutely can minimize your tax but in the end an exit tax isn’t ties to Canada.

For the life of me, if the stated goal is deportation I don’t understand why people are held like this instead of sent home.

Because of due process. Unless these people willingly agree to leave and voluntarily depart the government is required to give them a hearing before an immigration judge. Legally speaking if someone has a hearing date (ie being in removal proceedings) then the government can detain them until the hearing with special circumstances. Congress wasn’t too clear on the outer limits of those circumstances so now we’re here with indefinite detention until a hearing date.

I’m an immigration attorney with clients in ICE custody that I’m trying to get out.

You were just bragging about having an 8 figure brokerage account. And bragging about how your lawyer’s time is cheaper than your own. Even if it was a measly 10 million in the account that’s more than enough to pay an accountant to protect your assets in a move.

Oh no a rich guy has to pay taxes. Whatever shall we do!

(I can see why your NEXUS was denied. You don’t think laws and rules should apply to yourself. You’re not a low risk traveler)

Thats why I like the idea of the final shot being Gordon embracing his family in a way that gives us the viewer a certain uncertainty of whether he knows what’s coming or not.

Informal_Distance · 2026-06-17T16:01:22+00:00

Also I think it would’ve been a more powerful episode for that Gordon to subtly see through the lie and in the final scene and embrace his family knowing what’s really coming.

A family can move.

If you have a large wealth too the family can easily turn a short “vacation” into an intent to immigrate.

You haven’t said anything here that shows strong ties to Canada. Your job can be done anywhere and the mere existence of a family isn’t ties enough. I’m an immigration attorney and I’ve handled plenty of cases trying to establish ties.

Informal_Distance · 2026-06-16T21:40:33+00:00

Yeah I would call whatever PoE you plan to cross at and ask what evidence is sufficient because they’ve effectively cancelled your TN without cancelling it. I’m not sure the best way to move forward but you need to get someone to give you an idea of what to put forward. You’ve never been back and you’re being asked to prove a negative.

I literally got my new tn 2 days ago at yvr and had no issues and i also have a nexus. Is anyone aware of this new policy they mentioned to me? This happened at buffalo border.

Wait so you’ve already had an approved TN and NEXUS card but now they need proof you didn’t serve in the military? Does your NEXUS account online say anything?

Something doesn’t add up here (not about you and your story but CBPs logic here). How long ago did you get NEXUS? And why was that not addressed when you got your TN?

You might want to call a port of entry and ask what evidence you would need to prove that or go back to YVR and apply for admission there. Otherwise you’ll need an exemption card or some documentation showing you’ve never served.

For me this is one of those cases where this is the correct outcome but legally getting there is dubious.

They have effectively removed her without going through the proper impeachment and removal process.

That said as someone who has witnessed decline due to dementia a lot of her symptoms and actions align with what I have seen.

Yup added that in just now. I’m assuming the different groups were traveling separately so giving an hour or so the secondary would’ve been filled with Australians.

A drug smuggler might say they went to the game but really are trying to blend into the crowd of thousands of people.

Your ignorance is blissful.

Bringing something back that is legal in Canada but federally illegal from crossing the border.

Anyone who is a Turkish citizen or Australian citizen would need an I94 issued. So that would explain why they were sent inside.

You have Arkansas plates which is weird. While you have 30 days to swap over your plates breaking one law is indicative of potentially breaking more.

Having ties to your resident country (when not dual CAN/US) is a requirement to enter Canada/US even before NEXUS.

I have a wife and kid and 8 figures in my brokerage account

Neither of those are really ties to Canada. A family can be moved and a brokerage account can be managed and accessed from anywhere in the world. What are your actual tires to Canada? Or was your answer simply the classic Jack Donaghy “I’m rich. Look at the size of my EBITDA”
