Hi all.
Hopefully someone can advise. I've rang the US embassy but they were absolutley no help at all, woman on reception kept transferring me to automated messages, before i could explain, I even rang the visa line a 1580 number... costs a fortune but no help. So I looked up the website but there is no advice on this particular matter.
My friend and I are planning to go to the states to go shopping in December for a long weekend. The problem is her passport. She used to work for an American cruisecompany and was based in Florida. But she quit her contract halfway through to come home. So the cruisecompany paid for her flight home and transport to the airport and all, but as she did not complete her contract she had to be accompanied by a security guard to the gate at the airport.
Now on her passport there is a stamp saying 'remove foreign under safeguard' and the flight details. She's not been back to the states since, but has travelled other places before with no bother.
Do you think the immigration in the airport will give us hassel over this if they spot the stamp? She's not illegal or anything obviously but will they cause a fuss and delay us on our shopping weekend??! It would be such a pain...
All advise and comments welcome... I'm really kind of fretting over this. Thanks a million.
