What An immigration Officer do with an apology letter?
Hello, Recently i travelled to Gulf through an Airport in Tamilnadu. An officer at the immigration counter asked too many questions and after answering for all i asked him why you are asking so many unwanted questions. He got angry and his ego wanted to make me suffer. So he make me to stand for long hours and finally he wanted an apology letter, otherwise he wont let me to exit from the counter.

Hello,
- He must have taken the apology letter as a precaution in case you complained about harassment at his hands at the immigration counter.
- The letter itself cannot be any trouble during your future visits in any case.
- In case you have a genuine complaint about the officers demeanor, you can raise a complaint. Without detailed information as to what transpired at the counter it is difficult to arrive at any definite conclusion.
Such an experience in very common at some international airport immigration counters, especially in the US. In all probability the immigration officer would have obtained a letter of apology from you only to satisfy his ego, and won't use it for any official purpose. Without a valid legal ground you cannot be harassed in future. Not to worry.
It's just a formal letter that he obtained from you.
With this he cannot do anything neither he is any authority that he will take any action against you for this reason.
You don't have to be worried about it, just ignore.
He tried to threaten you without any authority to do so.
Just forget the incident and move on in your life.
- Such type of acts are against the law and you have your right to take legal action against his said behavior.
- Actually , he has taken that letter from you to save himself from any complaint filed by you in future.
- Hence, no need of worry , he cannot take any action against you , and has no right to create trouble for you .
Dear client,
Sorry to hear about your situation. But in my opinion he cannot do anything with an apology letter. As you mentioned his ego was hurt that is why he asked you for an apology letter. Further, in my opinion it will not effect your visits to India.
Hope this helps you.
No it will not trouble you in any way in legitimate manner
