Well ppron seems to have attracted a fair bit of unnecessary questioning !!
I mean where would they start unless you are coming back fro Guatanome Bay
I believe the info on the card goes into the INDECS system that tracks your entire immigration history. I also think it's this system that allows naturalisation decisions to be turned around so quickly of late ( relative to other countries) as they can cross reference your entire residence profile at a touch of a button.Dawie wrote:
I also struggle to understand the purpose of that useless landing card that I have to fill in every damn time. At the very least permanent residents shouldn't have to fill it in!
I agree, but this information can quite easily be gathered when they scan the machine-readable part of your passport! Hence my use of the word "useless", they're just replicating information that's already there.I believe the info on the card goes into the INDECS system that tracks your entire immigration history.
Maybe that is right at the moment but when the glorification of terrorism law comes in that Citizen will probably get arrested!Even if a UK citizen were returning from guantanomo with a "I LuV Bin Laden " T-shirt, they can't refuse entry.
Remember that a large number of countries do not have a machine readable passport. India certainly doesn't.Dawie wrote:I agree, but this information can quite easily be gathered when they scan the machine-readable part of your passport!

And, by the way, it's not much use for tracking when they have absolutely no record of when you left the UK in the first place! (I'm refering to the lack of embarkation controls).
That is wrong I'm afraid. the ILR is conditional. The immigration officer is perfectly entitled to ask questions to establish the following :confused1 wrote:I was old by my solicitor that, the Immigration Officers at the port of entry has no authority to stop you if you have an ILR. But, they can held you to check if your ILR is genuine or not. Once they've confirmed that your ILR is genuine, then they will let you go.
But, if you feel like you should not have been stopped in the first place, take a note of the name of the immigration officer/s, time, date and place.
Then you can take the matter further if you like.

More accurately you need to convince them that you are a returning resident and not a visitor and that you have not been away for more than 2 years.rogerroger wrote:but you can try and convince the immigration officer that you do intend to stay on this time around, correct?
Don't see why not - provided he can convince the local HC in his country of residence that he intends to come here for settlement.actually my dad's ILR was cancelled a few years ago, he was issued a visit visa and let into the UK.
can he get his ILR back, now that his son is a british citizen?
