What was it you did to piss them off? There's gotta be more to this story.

Check it out first Remember, as a U.S. citizen entering our own immigration and HS system you have almost no rights at all. How many of your rights do you think they will respect? They may well lock you up and then you sit and wait many months for a deportation hearing before they then give you the boot. Were you mistaken for someone else? Have you visited countries that the U.S. may have issue with, you know, a little weekend trip to Cuba or North Korea perhaps. "Come with us sir, we have some additional question to ask you", that is HS's standard greeting that means your day is about to start sucking, in a major way. Our immigration and HS is messed up. Out of control in many ways and not doing a good job in other ways. WTF is about all I can say. I would make sure before I risked getting thrown in the slammer to wait for a U.S. immigration proceedings, IMHO.

there is no more to the story as i said i was in america most years for a week or month from the age of 16 - 27. i have family there, travelling a lot. worked on a cruise ship out of puerto rico and cape canaveral for three years. Legally of course. Carnival Cruise Lines. I have never worked legally or ilegally in the States..

I just took a flight from London to Miami through D.C. and in DC the immigration lady looked at my 50 page passport which was full of stamps after five years of travelling looked at my wallet, US$20 in cash and a visa card and did not like what she saw. she could not understand how i had visited so many countries. She did not think I could support myself. She even rang up my brother in Florida and asked him if I was going to stay with him..

Anyway she put me in jail.. While waiting in the holding cell in the airport I also met a Tunisian guy who had been caught working illegally in the States and he had been detained for six months awaiting transfer back to his home country.

The hard thing for me to understand is that you got millions of Mexicans living all over the States illegally and no one gives a shit then a New Zealander supposedly an ally arrives for his tenth visit to spend some cash and off to jail and back to London he goes.. I got escorted on the plane by the police before all the passengers when i got sent back. They gave my passport to the pilot. When I got to London the United Airlines people told me I might not be allowed to enter that country and that I may have to be sent back to New Zealand. Duh!.. Of course I was allowed to enter the UK...

Well anyway now I want to go back to the States.. Whats the deal... How do I go about getting a visa as a New Zealander living in Colombia..

If what you are saying is 100% accurate, I would contact the New Zealand embassy, and I would have my family who lives in the States contact a damn good attorney.
