Jimmy James Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abz Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 She could be there all day! Immigration need to 'land' her, if her documents aren't correct then they could send her back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

stevie_b Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they didn't pull me in when I was in the states last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
