Another part of showing documents would be showing your return ticket. Just an fyi to all who are going to another country............the very basics of what an airline agent reads when he/she plugs in the info is this......passport (sometimes valid 6 months beyond the stay) visa, if necessary, ticket to onward destination (this can be a return ticket or a ticket to a third country) Also, what is needed are sufficient funds for the stay. Airline agents don't ask this but an immigration official on your arrival could and if you have nothing, you could be deported.
The OP admittedly had a visa that was gonna expire before the return. The documents were not acceptable. Delta protected themselves from a possible fine and the customer from a possible problem.
