Its a technicality on the dates that I discovered when I got in touch with the US Embassy regarding a potential 'reunion trip' to see all my old friends in Vegas early 2017 when the official 10 years is up...
It stems from the fact that they deported for ten years on a certain date in 2007 - However my official paperwork was wrongly dated as in the same date but 2002 - Five tears earlier.
As such I cannot prove I was deported in 2007 as I have no official record. I cant say 2002 as it wasn't true, and of course they have no record... Even if they look at the 2007 date and they 'could' find a record, the burden of proof is with me to prove I was deported on that date and my ten years is up. I cant due to their bad paperwork.
Its mearly a stupid, convoluted paperwork only problem, but one with which they are a pain to deal with. I have no 'right' to return after being deported and am on the blacklist.
Yes, I can possibly get lawyers involved and argue the case in 2017, but its still a pain in the ass for what would simply be a months holiday. However thats time hassle and money I dont need to be expending.
Therefore it makes simple sense to me to consider myself banned for life... If I wanted to return to live, it would be worth every penny to go the legal route, but for a holiday? Nahhh...
But never say never. However theres little point in me worrying about it until 2017 anyway
