Subject presented a valid Saudi Arabia passport # C642017 with a valid B I/ B2 visa #44209655 issued at Riyadh on July 14, 2001. Subject presented himself to the primary inspector n Rempel as a visitor for pleasure for a six day visit. Subject was referred to secondary inspection because he claimed that he did not speak any English and for that reason he did not complete die Custom declaration form or the 1-94 Immigration form. Also, he did not have a return ticket. Dr. Shafik- Fouad, employed by the Department of Justice and certified interpreter for the Arab language, was contacted to serve as an interpreter on this case. When asked why he did not have a return ticket, the subject stated that he did not know where he was going after he departed the United States and a person that was coming from overseas was going to make all die arrangements for his transportation and only he knew where he was going. When asked about his relationship with this person, he said that he was a friend. Subject did not have any hotel reservation and when asked where he was going to be staying, he said. " A hotel".

United States and that person would pick him up and take him around. He said that he was going to stay in the United States for six days; however, the person that was suppose to be coming to meet him here was arrriving in three to four days. In reality, it didn't make any sense that he was going to spend six days in the United States, travel around the county when he was going to wait for this person for three or four days leaving him only two of three days to travel hi the United States. At this time, I asked the subject again why he did not have a return ticket and he replied, "I cannot purchase a return ticket because this person knows where I'm going and is going to make all the arrangement". I asked for this person's phone number and he refused to provide it and stated that that was none of my business because that was a personal matter and he did not see any reason for me to contact this person. Subject contradicted himself and lied and changed his original story on various occasions. Subject was very hostile throughout the whole interview. Subject was in possession of $2,800 USD and no credit cards. Taking into consideration that he has to pay for his hotel bill, return ticket, and living expenses, $2,800 are not sufficient funds. As an example, a one way return ticket to Dubai where he originated his trip, was $2,200 USD. When encountered with this situation, he stated that his friend was going to bring him some money. Why is this person bringing you some money? Just because he is a friend. How long do you know this person? Not too long. After carefully analyzing this statement provided by the subject, his intention for visiting the United States was not clear. Taking into consideration that he contradicted himself and lied throughout the interview, I decided to place him under oath and take a sworn statement. I explained my intentions and the purpose of placing him under oath to take the sworn statement and he agreed with it. At this time, the subject refused to answer any questions. At this time, it is not clear why this person lied and contradicted himself throughout the inteview. We cannot determine his true intentions for visiting the United States because he refused to answer any questions under oath. It is believed that this person is hiding something. I explained that because we could not complete the inspection we were going to refuse entry and he was allowed the opportunity to withdraw his application.Subject appeared inadmissable under Section 212 (a)(7)(A)(i)(I) of the INA. Subject withdrew his application and departed foreign via VS16 to London/Dubai.
