美國CBP絕大多數的拒絕入境,並不是採用「expedited removal 」
而是1225(a)(4)的Withdrawal of application for admission
An alien applying for admission may, in the discretion of the Attorney General and at any time, be permitted to withdraw the application for admission and depart immediately from the United States.

所以多數的拒絕入境案例,並不受到五年禁止入境的限制,也不需要申請waiver
至於實際上是哪一種,對於一般旅客來說有時候不容易判斷
Withdrawal of application for admission(放棄申請入境)會要求旅客簽一張單子I-275,並且附上一張宣告書,也會有個副本。據說也常是自費負擔回程機票。
而expedited removal則是針對嚴重的移民違規、有明顯違法意圖及不良紀錄的人,據說回程機票是美國政府負責,也會受到拒絕入境五年的規定。
如果入境官有口頭說明「沒有禁止五年入境」,那麼肯定是Withdrawal of application for admission
據客棧上案例的統計,九成以上是Withdrawal of application for admission
當然這個樣本空間可能不夠大,有可能有採樣的誤差
