Austin, TX asked in Immigration Law and International Law for Texas

Q: I was issued at Ordered Removed (inadmissible) on my way to NC from MEX. How can I get this removed, it was a mistake.

I was in Chicago (layover) and they questioned my intent of traveling to the US. I told them I was here to help a friend recover from surgery but did not believe my story. They said I was here to get married & after checking my phone, they could not prove it. Then the said I was here to work illegally, also not true but they went with it. They issued a inadmissible (sec 212,a,7) because they said I performed unauthorized work. After being threatened to go to jail for 3 days to see a judge, I agreed to return home and they issued a (235, b, 1) order for expedited removal. I am an undergrad in a top university in Mex & have been accepted for my MS in France this fall.

What options do I have and can this be overturned? I really feel this was a mistake.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A: You have not stated very important information: How did you enter the USA? If you entered without inspection you were subject to removal regardless of your reason for being here and your education. You agreed to the removal.
