She specially visited the INS bureau beore she flew out of the country where they told her that her visa was prolonged!!!
The guys at customs denied it!
After the ordeal she went to ISN again and they told here again! PROLONGED! VALID!!
And why the hell didnt they even let her have a phone call with her husband???
The man must have died of fear without hearing anything from his wife and child! He could have confirmed everything
Imagine: Their german relatives confirm her departure and she never shows up at the pickup in NY!!? What would YOU think?!
Outrageous!!
Pleading to the guards that her husband was waiting some few hundred metres away...that she needed to nurse her child was just answered with "shut up!"
Telling them that INS TOLD HER its valid and that she wouldn't ever have left the country without them confirming: Same answer "shut up!"
Telling them she needed to change diapers on her child Clara .. "shut up"!! Foreign newborn children obviously have to expect same treatment as terrorists
All they told her: "you're going home with the next plane to Germany"
she only could answer under tears "but NY is my home since 5 years"...
after 18 hours ordeal she was allowed to leave the airport and get home and get some cloths and stuff for here baby ONLY IF SHE BOUGHT A TICKET TO GERMANY RIGHT AWAY!!
After she was in NY again she visited the INS bureau again.. "Valid!" they told her, "Case closed"...
But it wasn't closed! Antje and Clara faced a LIFELONG BAN from entering the US ever again since she illegally entered the country (with a valid visum!!)
She had 30 days to proof she was legal and ISN didnt help her doing it!!
Finally she was allowed to stay...
BUT GREEN CARD gone!!!
She had to stay another 2 years in country without travelling anywhere, without seeing her parents to get the Green Card again!
Yet again only with the help of the media (media angles in this case, for once not media whores) she could grab attention of some officials..
The outcome:
2 adys before she would have had to go back "home" to Germany they told her: FOR HUMANITARIAN REASONS she is allowed to stay as a special case!!! And she hasn't even something written to confirm it!!!
She has done nothing and now has the stigma of a criminal who is a special case and probably only allowed to the US because she is the mother of a US child since it was born in US which she has to nurse. What else humanitarian reason can you think of?
Probably few steps away from taking the baby from her!!??
As a European I can guarantee you that I won't set foot into the US for many years to come if ever I can avoid it because we hear those horror report en mass!! Practically everybody I know thinks ilke this here...
