Uk border wait times

Recommended Posts

My ex girlfriend has flown over from Toronto overnight and has just been held in immigration for 2 1/2 hours.. Meanwhile ive had a chauffeur waiting since 9am who is not pleased. Anyone else had this experience before? I know the wait should be a bit longer because she doesn't hold a uk passport but 2 1/2 hours is ridiculous.

She could be there all day! Immigration need to 'land' her, if her documents aren't correct then they could send her back.

 

Its all sorted now, immigration just had to call me and ask hundred questions like they do on border force tv show.. shes only here for ten days so didnt think it would be an issue.

Why the suspicion? Did something in her story not stack up? Something must have piqued Immigration's curiosity for them to phone a contact and give them a verbal probing on how long they're staying for, how will they pay for their stay, whether they intend to work whilst in the UK, etc.

Don't have to be anything suspicious to be honest, sometimes it is random!

 

Surprised they didn't pull me in when I was in the states last year! :D
