Refused entry to the UK

[Sam_84]

Hi Guys

I have a Visa appointment tomorrow (11 June). I am wondering why the following question no longer exists in the application form -
Have you ever been refused entry in the UK?

There is a question about the deportation but not about refused to entry.
I am worried because I was actually refused entry once long time back.

Quick replies would be appreciated.

Thanks

You are, in a way, misdirecting the basis of your question by suggesting you are applying for a visa. Visas are issued exclusively outside the UK for people who wish to enter the UK. You are already inside the UK and will be applying for leave to remain issued in the form of a biometric residence permit. Generally anyone inside the UK has already been asked why they were refused entry previously when they applied for a visa so it makes sense to not ask this question again.

But, having said this, I don't know why they would ask the question about deportation as second time. Perhaps it's too important to overlook.

Thanks for your reply.

But I was thinking that this question may have had been looked upon as the other questions testing whether the candidate has conducted anything illegal or tried to enter the country by inappropriate ways.
