.MY BIGGEST MISTAKE WAS TO FILL 6 MONTHS ON THE LANDING CARDI AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD LIKE TO THE IO -NEVER LIE TO THE IO AT IT WILL PUT YOU INTO EVEN MORE TROUBLE - BUT SAYING YOU WANT A 6 MONTHS VISA IS A FLAG FOR TROUBLE.Passport Control at HeathrowThis campaign update was written by an Action Network user not the BBCCreated: 16 Jun 2005 Updated: 16 Jun 2005By Kathleen Whalen'On May 11th, I planned to visit my boyfriend in Newcastle. I flew from JFK airport in New York and had to change terminals at Heathrow to catch a connecting flight. I had already missed my intended flight, and I was very nervous while I was waiting in the passport control line in Terminal 1 because this was the first time I had ever traveled outside the U.S.When it was finally my turn to approach one of the kiosks. I handed the woman my passport my ticket to Newcastle. I had intended to stay in the U.K. For 6 months, because on all the websites about visiting the U.K. It had said that I could visit for 6 months, and I was under the impression that as long as I had the address and phone number of where I was staying, and a return ticket.
I'm only 20 years old, and like I said, this was my first time out of the country. The reason I had decided to stay for so long, was because my boyfriend and his mother had agreed to support me while we waited for his work visa to be approved, so we could both move to LA and I could figure out what I wanted to do with my education.
And seeing, as how I don't have many responsibilities yet, it seemed like a good time for an academic break.I told the officer I was visiting a friend and his mother, and she began to ask me increasingly invasive questions. Feeling uncomfortable I answered briefly, as I was not accustomed to being asked such intrusive questions such as who was paying for my education and so on.I told her that my parents would be supporting me during my trip, and that they also paid for my education, as I'm living with my mother in California. The reason I had left from JFK was because I was visiting family in Pennsylvania, and the ticket to Newcastle was cheaper from New York, and shorter.She asked me more questions about my schooling and my job situation. I told her I was a full time student and I work temporary jobs, which I had just quit since I was leaving for so long, but I was still enrolled at my college as a full time student. I had also been awarded a California grant for the next school year, and I would have to be enrolled by Spring semester in order to recieve it.
At this point, it became clear to me that the officer had no idea about the differences in English and American culture because she asked me if I had ever been to university. I told her they were the same thing, thinking it odd that she did not know that.She then asked me for the number for my boyfriend and his mother. I gave it to her and she said she would call them because 'this didn't sound right'.I sat down in a chair nearby wondering what I had done wrong and why I was being treated like I was a criminal.She came back 20 minutes later only to tell me that I had been deceptive by saying my boyfriend was a friend, rather than a boyfriend and that she would be making further enquiries, but she would have to work on the passport control line first before she dealt with me. I was once again pushed aside and forced to wait. Since I have never had to deal with this before, I became frightened and had no idea what was in store for me next.The officer had someone take me to the baggage claim, where of course my bag was not there, since it had been checked through to Newcastle.
I was taken into a large room where a woman patted me down and my photo was taken. I was obviously upset as I was no longer able to control the tears which now freely flowed down my face. The people working there were very nice and tried to calm me down.I waited here, without any idea what was going on and why I was being detained for saying I was visiting a friend. I wasn't aware I was supposed to divulge all my personal information, which I'm ure most people would feel uncomfortable about telling a complete stranger.I was detained for about 3 hours before the immigration officer came back to ask me more questions. I was physically and emotionally exhausted at this point. It had been three months since I had seen my boyfriend, and I was less than an hour away from him.
The officer did not make any phone calls to anyone to verify any information I provided. She had told my boyfriend's mother that she would call her back after the initial phone call, but she never did.After the officer repeated the questions she had asked before, she told me she would talk to her supervisor but he probably would not stamp my passport, because I had been deceptive. Rather than trying to give me the chance to verify any of my information, she decided that I had lied because I said 'friend' not 'boyfriend'. Every person I have said this to hereafter has the same reaction I do, 'the difference is?' .The immigration officer told me to calm down because at this point I was on the verge of becoming sick. I waited another 2 hours before a man brought in one of my pieces of luggage(the one without any of my clothes in it) and asked me if it was mine.
I told him yes, but I had anohter suitcase. I then asked him if that meant they had decided to deport me, he said he didn't know. I was able to get in touch with my boyfriend, who had been waiting at the airport for 3 hours, waiting expectantly for my arrival. I had him contact my mother for me so they she could contact my dad or sister, who were still at work, so they could pick me up in the event that I was deported. My boyfriend and his mother made every attempt to talk to immigration and have this resolved. She told them where they could send their documents, but what she failed to mention was that in 15 minutes she would be leaving, thus making it impossible for the decision to me over turned, even though the immigration officers they talked to after that were far more sympathetic. She told my boyfriend that she believed I would try to stay illegally and 'get lost in the system', which first of all would be an error on their part, secondly I gave them a permanent address where I would be staying, which if I did attempt to stay would result in my arrest and deportation and also my boyfriend and his mother would be arrested.

Yes, it is deceptive, but to be sent back simply for failing to clarify your relationship is very harsh, and I definitely feel for this person. It's a horrible ordeal to go through.I had NO clue what to expect when I first entered the UK to visit my boyfriend. I was honest, but had no proof of funds and no proof I would be returning (I was on a break from university, and told them that).It really depends on the immigration official. I've never had any issue entering the UK, but have encountered one MAJOR b. at O'Hare when returning to the US (I'm a USC, so no clue why she decided to be so difficult), while everyone else has always said little more than 'welcome home!' Other immigration officials in this case could have understood that she's young, has never left the country, so is naive about immigration rules, and simply warned her that she needs to be honest in the future.

Deportation, in my opinion, seems far too extreme. She had all the proper documentation and no intention of overstaying. I'm quite sure it is a terrible ordeal, but unfortunately for this person, it wasn't just the fact that she said she was visiting 'a friend' rather than 'a boyfriend'. It was the balance of probabilities. She was 20 years old, had no job to return to, no apartment lease or rental agreement, had very little money, wanted to in essence live in the UK for six months, AND said she was visiting a friend rather than a boyfriend.
And even after all of that, she went and applied for a visa without submitting the correct documentation. I'm going to visit my boyfriend in the UK for the first time in 8 days. What I have learned from this forum and from reading the stories of people who have bounced is that you have to tell the truth. If you don't it ends of catching up to you at one point or another.
I have a return ticket, funds, bank statement, and I'm going to be carrying a letter from my mother stating that I help take care of my grandmother. I have all my bases covered just in case, however I don't see them asking for all of that. I'm quite sure it is a terrible ordeal, but unfortunately for this person, it wasn't just the fact that she said she was visiting 'a friend' rather than 'a boyfriend'.
