Hi suzie, what length of times were you staying for when you got pulled ?
geedouble, i was staying for two weeks on my return ticket. I think I must have gotten someone who was in a bad mood, since then I have had no problem and was never issued any paperwork or number, so I do not think I was 'deported' or 'removed'. In my letter to the consulate, I have stated that, and the only thing I can hope is that they will take it all in context.
