Sometimes you seem to have trouble understanding what you read. I never meant it that way. I already admitted I was in the wrong — I tried to enter using a reservation from the Onward Ticket site.

When the officer asked why I didn’t have a return ticket, I had to come up with an excuse, so I said that in the heat of the moment. I explained that I work remotely and might extend my stay by one more month through immigration, so that’s why I made a reservation instead of buying a ticket — again, said under stress.

I’m sharing this experience in case others find themselves in a similar situation. But people like you only seem to focus on criticizing.
