Why mother was denied entry into US

The disappointed mum explained that they thought she wanted to stay in the US illegally, hence the denial.

She lamented being denied entry despite having her return ticket and all other necessaries sorted out. She wrote:

"They thought I was going to stay in the country illegally… but I just wanted to spend my vacation there. I had my return ticket, everything ready — and still, they sent me back."

Lady speaks more on US entry denial

In another TikTok video, the lady gave more details about her entry denial in the US. She said the rejection was not because she did anything wrong, as her record was clean.

The mother added that the immigration only advised her to apply for another visa type because of her dealings. Her clip was in response to a comment on her earlier video.

"I travelled to the US with my Spanish passport. Immigration checked my phone, saw that I make money online through my collaboration, and assumed I would stay in the country. They told me I can come back anytime, but with a work contract or a tourist visa, and they cancelled my ESTA."

Speaking further, she added:

"They ran a check to see if I had committed any crime, but everything was fine. I wasn't punished because I did nothing wrong. They just told me to apply for a tourist or work visa if I'm going to receive income from collaborations with US companies."

In a related story, Legit.ng reported that a lady who paid N334,000 for an American visa had demanded a refund after her visa application was denied.
