That sucks. Thanks for the links Well, it wouldn't be entry without leave; it would only be 2-3 weeks visit. Never mind. Off to the US!

Thanks for the help, everyone!

Ah okay, so it won't be quite as painless as I originally expected then x'D Wow, I had no idea on the size and speed of ferries. I really want to experience that! £600 is a little pricey though :O so I think i'll skip on the overnighter xD Thanks for the heads up! I'll definitely ensure I have ALL ...

Wow thanks for all the help guys! Some very useful links there. I'll read up on it all in a moment. With the CTA open borders arrangement, does that mean as long as my bf makes it to Ireland, gets in my car, we get our passports checked and possibly the boot too, that's pretty much it? No ...

Oh right, thanks for the info! :) Holyhead is great, it's in Wales which is where I live anyway :) Of course, he will have a Passport regardless. But it's one less check, so one less possible refusal. Hmm, do they wave people out of line often, like every 3rd or 4th car? If I can avoid that check ...

If he does decide to come here again, we will have all of the documentation required (again) PLUS an actual visa, no longer relying on the lie that is the American Visa Waiver. There is no search for shortcuts here, no lies or deceit, no "cutting corners" or illegal activity. All completely legal; i ...

Ah no problem at all, literally everyone I speak to irl assume I mean girlfriend when I say "partner" and I'm like eewwww no x'D Me neither. I mean, it was back in May, and I have no solid evidence of the situation, only my bfs word. I seriously doubt he'd make something like that up, though; and as ...

Hey Sudanim, He flew to the UK with no visa, as we both learnt about the 6 Month American Visa Waiver. He explained that he was coming here to visit his boyfriend, me. He had all of the supporting documents asked of us. He had his own funds given by his parents, including their bank details as ...

It was the British authorities that were going to move him to a high security prison. I honestly thought they were joking, on the phone. Apparently, there was a fight or death or something at the prison that day, so the driver refused to move my bf there in fear of guys safety (he's a 19 year old ...

We did not apply for a visa formally. We used the American Visa Waiver scheme. We made sure to provide ALL documentation mentioned on their site. The immigration officer on the phone said it would be fine if it was just for 2 or 3 weeks. So I said it's in their best interest to change the name for a ...

Sorry for not being clear, I'm still very bitter about the UK :')

Basically, can my boyfriend travel the following route:

America - France - I pick him up at France - UK
OR
American - Ireland (Dublin) - I pick him up at Dublin - UK

Hey all, I really need some advice, if that's okay. My boyfriend is from USA, and we have been together for over a year. Each time we visit in person, I fly to the US, hassle free (YAY USA! :D). One time, in May, I bought him a ticket to come here, to the UK, to visit for 5 months under the American ...
