Friend denied from UK, on vwp. Options?

Sometimes, people asking for help get defensive when those seeking to help ask for more information.  Rather than provide the necessary information, they get offended.

Nah I just think some members on this forum don't actually want to help others and treat them like garbage instead, ive seen this happen in a lot of threads.

Almost everyone acts like an immigration expert here, but most of the time there are conflicting answers/information so its hard to know whos actually right, anecdotal experiences being the most damaging.

I already got my answer from transborderwife: marriage is the only option, a B2 will likely be denied and even if it is approved he will be denied at customs again.

As you have not shared what exactly happened, just a few tantalizing clues, how could you expect any full response?

Interesting comments!

 

Everyone acts as an immigration expert, yup most people have been through the process, you came on here asking advice.................if you didn't want that advice why ask???

 

Anecdotal experience is not damaging its based on fact, as I said I travelled often, I even told the CBP officer I was visiting my (then) girlfriend, he laughed and said 'judging by the stamps in your passport she must be worth it!), It got so bad the Virgin Atlantic gate agent even knew me! But did I ever get pulled aside, nope.

 

People do want to help, but the lack of information isn't going to give people much to go on to assist.

 

But as you say you got the answer you required, so all good.....................hopefully.

***** as Op stated they received the answers they needed, and this thread is devolving into bickering, it is now closed.  OP is free to make another thread for follow on questions, as long as they give all pertinent information. ******
