Hi, someone here on this forum was saying that the IOM does not classify as a state funded return. Is anyone sure of this?

Suave64:
Hi , I am trying to get some information on my situation. I overstayed in the UK for some years before leaving through an agency called the IOM (who sponsored my return) in 2008 before the new laws came out. I hold a Caribbean passport which means that I can visit the UL 6 months visa free. My problem is that I do not know if the IOM qualifies as a state funded agency, and if I would be turned back when I get to Gatwick. Can anyone help me>

Where the immigration offender has returned under the VARRP (Voluntary Assisted Returns and Re-integration Programme) scheme, you will need to be satisfied that the applicant has breached UK immigration laws. If they are an immigration offender, they will have future applications refused for five years.

Thanks for your reply segseybaba
you been of great help. The fact that uk immigration laws just change nearly every three months so that make me so unstable how to deal with the situation. And especially i've read on the forum of someone who married a british citizen but application for spouse visa was refused twice i've left UK been 2 years now and when i left i was served with a IS151A form dont know what it is exactly!!! But i also remember that after three months that i received the letter saying that my application for visa was refused got another letter stating that i was subject to removal and after one month they came to look for me at the place i was living but at that time already left that place because couldnt pay rent so went to stay at my friend place till i got the money to leave and that what i did after one month.

And on the application's form for the spouse visa there are so many questions like have you ever been subject to removal or refused a visa.

so that scared me having to write all these things but as i have been married my name already changed and my friend telling me not to state your first visit in the uk as i've got a different passport number and different name

@segzeybaba and joxiri, do you really have to take it as family business? how do you explain the meaning of the word "- is a non-immigrant;"?

Definition;
Immigrant Status is given to foreign nationals who intend to live permanently in the United States. Synonymous terms for immigrant status are: Permanent Resident, immigrant, green card holder, and resident alien. Gaining immigrant status can be a lengthy and complex process that requires close consulation with an immigration attorney (See also Permanent Resident Status).

Nonimmigrant status is for foreign nationals wishing to enter the U.S. on a temporary basis – whether for tourism, business, temporary work, or study. Once a nonimmigrant is in the U.S., they are restricted to the activity or reason for which their visa was issued. They may have more than one type of nonimmigrant visa in their passports, but may only be admitted in or hold one status at a time. Most nonimmigrant visas are issued only to applicants who can demonstrate an intent to return to their home country after completing the temporary purpose of their visit to the U.S.

@segzeybaba. i know a british citizen of pakistani origin who was bounced back at an american airport and placed on the next available flight to the uk. ive been following this thread even though i didn't make comments and i observe that your entire comments in this very thread are not being meaningful and it seems you r too lazy to read between lines of meaningful comments. sorry if this sounds harsh, no offence. lets look into the matter with vicjustice information as opposed to your claims, i think you r sooo wrong to think that a british passport doesnt show whether the bearer is a british citizen by rights or by naturalization except otherwise that the BP doesnt show place of birth.
i would say that vicjustice comment hold water because he provided a link where it can be confirmed. so instead of taking it personal, why dont you just visit the link and see if what he claim is correct? i did check the link and i am convinced.
the link is still here you can check it out yourself and hold your peace for goodness sake

Vicjustice:
I never doubted that it is not possible, i only said; a naturalized Britich citizen does not qaulify for the VWP.
Of course, it is possible to get into the USA as a Naturalized British using the VWP especially when the immigration officer is not efficient with his job to detect whether a British citizen earns his/her passport by origin or by naturalisation, more likely, the immigration officer simply is not interested to single black British out and subject them to immigration questioning in order to avoid being called a racist.
But in reality, a Naturalised British (of any race) is not qualified for the VWP: just hope that you're not unlucky enough to meet an immigration officer who wouldn't care about what you think of his ("racist" attitude. Such officer would refuse you entry into the USA.

Note: when i talk about Naturalised British, i'm not necessarily talking about Blacks, i mean immigrants who turned British by naturalisation.Those who earn their citizenship by birth or ancestral rights irrespective of their races or origin may not be considered as Naturalised British

Vicjustice:
Your story is not the same thing as the story of Swatch72 (the original poster). The guy in your story doesn't seem to have had his fingers scanned in 2005, and he must have used a different data information in his other passport; that was very possible before this finger scanning era. But Swatch72 is using same names but different date of birth, so that makes him open for detection and the implications.

My friend, you won't qualify for the Visa Waiver Program even if you turned a British and hold the British passport, the VWP is intended for original citizens of the countries involved and not for naturalised citizens.
Bear in mind that when you become a british citizen by naturalization, your passport will definitely indicate that you're a British Subject: A passport indicating that the bearer is a British Subject, British Dependent Territories Citizen, British Overseas Citizen, British National (Overseas) Citizen, or British Protected Person does not qualify for travel without a visa. A passport which states holder has Right of Abode or indefinite leave to remain in the United Kingdom does not qualify for visa free travel to the United States

hello house,wat is the implication of being pregnant while studyin in the uk as an international student?

I used expedia.com for the US reservation which I paid online using my diamond bank visa credit card. I guess I can use similar payment method this time around. While in the US i opened an account with Bank of America and I have the debit card, but I’m not sure if I can use it to pay for the UK hotel reservation. Maybe I need to clarify that from Bank of America
