Myths about flag polling and admin refusal from USA

[skm12345]

I heard most of the people are worried about the admin refusal from USA. I personally asked this question from US officer if this will have any impact on my future visa application for USA and do I need to mention this in visa application form. She said, this is not going to come in your record so no impact on your future visa and you don't have to mention this in your application form. So guys, chill and finish your landing without any tension in case you do not have an US visa.

To substantiate that.... even with a valid US VISA, I was given an "administrative refusal" at the border when I mentioned that I am here so that I could do "landing" at Canadian border. This thing "administrative refusal" shouldn't be of any worry.

Good luck folks.

My spouse does not have a US visa, so your information is very useful to me. Thanks! +1

One thing I have been meaning to ask - is "administrative refusal" an official term currently in use? Is it mentioned on the slip that the US authorities give you? I think many people are spooked by the "refusal" part.

That said, when I did my landing I entered the US and came straight back, to avoid being 'refused'.

The officer wrote "Flagpoling" and directed me in to the office, I dont recollect seeing any "refusal" written anywhere.

Though I had VISA, the officer said, no need to go to US and come back, you can just go directly with this slip.
