Ok, the results are in. My visa application was refused. However, the REASONS they refused it are actually not all that bad and I'm not too upset about it. The letter is 2 pages and too long to type verbatim but in a nutshell they refused it for 2 reasons. 1. Lack of evidence that I have sufficient ...

You keep mentioning getting a "new" passport, or an "emergency" passport. I hope you know what you're doing. I may be wrong, but I suspect the US authorities would be disinclined to issue you with a new passport when the whereabouts of your current valid passport is known, and i...

Still no word from the Visa place. I think I will end up having to get a new passport. I have a new question because there is a detail I forgot. We have a layover in Keflavik just like we did last time. We had a Schengen stamp stamped in our passports the last time. But because we landed in London, ...

To the previous commenter, we aren't performing this time. This is just a holiday in belated celebration of my friend's birthday. (His b-day is the 18th and we leave the 26th). IF we are asked why we're traveling on emergency passports, we are going to say that we had planned to visit the UK for 5 o...

Ok so, new question. Since my "priority service" application is going to take a maximum of 15 business days complete, my friend went ahead and got a new passport since his is NOT priority service and we have the exact same situation. He is going to pick his up on Monday. I am going to wait...

How does one become an Immigration Officer?

Yesterday I posted about an incident with being refused entry to the UK. Ever since then, I've been doing alot of research on the topic of immigration and I'm very fascinated by it all. There are so many issues and problems and I'm really taken by it. I feel for all of the displaced asylum seekers a...

it might take shorter, who knows? But the main reason why your case is "complicated" is because now that there is a black mark on your UK immigration history, (assuming you haven't been banned), the entry clearance officer will have to consider very carefully if you are indeed entering th...

Chapter 62 - Re-Entry Bans may be of help. Thanks for that link. When I read that, it said that individuals MAY be banned if they do these things. This was 5 months ago so my memory isn't crystal clear but I would've remembered reading or being told that I was banned from the country, especially si...

Re: US National refused entry and needs advice

:) I think it is all a bit far fetched... you knew what you were doing and tried to get away with it now you have lost the documents?? Very soon you will know if you were considered to have used deception as you will either be issued or refused I did NOT know what I was doing. That's exactly the pr...

Because of this incident, you will be subject to a closer scrutiny of your intentions when visiting the UK. Expect to be asked extra questions and just be more alert next time. I think you were not banned ..... I don't agree with that because the OP recalls having it in writing that he used decepti...

US National refused entry and needs advice

I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I and my friend need some advice on my current situation. A little background info: My friend and I are BOTH US citizens and US nationals as well bearing United States passports. We are both solo musicians and we set up a Eur...
