subject access report says i was born in south Africa

[IamIan 14]

My subject access report has come back saying I was born in Cape town. I have never been there, why would it say cape town? I was born and raised in Yorkshire. I watch emmerdale. I drink Yorkshire tea. I moan about everything. I am from Yorkshire.

Adding to this my fellow immigrants...

I have two previous convictions, nothing major. One time I stole a couple of yoga books from a bookshop I worked at and was cautioned. I hid them in my trousers and they were so heavy that my pants fell down in the high street. Just my luck, two plain clothed coppers were stood behind me when I pulled them back up. The price one pays for not having a belt eh.

The next day, I got into a fight with my uncle because of this. Although in reality, it was more because he was pissed about getting fired as an extra on ITV's Heartbeat. They charged him cause he is a fat drunken pig, but released me without charge. So that's one caution and one arrest 11 years ago when I was 18.

So two things bothering me.

How do I change my place of birth? I have contacted acro and west Yorkshire police and the police keep forwarding me to this other department and they won't respond. Acro have gone as far as asking me to stop contacting them.

Secondly, will these two offences (despite being minor and 11 years ago) effect the process?

I'm just worried something is going to come and ruin everything. I have a job in USA from the second I am legally allowed to work there, everything seems to be falling into place. I want to move to Houston with my wife.

I want a family.

I want the American dream.

But most of all, I want unlimited drink refills in restaurants.

Thanks for your help.

Ian.

18 is a minor?

Not all restaurants do unlimited refills btw.

[IamIan 14]

I wish Boiler. It's 18 for adult. And the unlucky part is that I'd just had my 18th birthday 2 months before.

Ian. I would say bring documentation of your attempts to resolve this. Can you make a log of dates, who you called or emailed, response you got. If you got email responses even better. You have a birth certificate that shows where you were born so no question about that. If they ask about the SAR thing, tell your story and show your log of how you tried to correct it, but were unsuccessful. A girl I helped several years ago actually got her visa without an original or certified copy of her birth certificate. She had a photocopy. She took a log of her attempts (and responses) through India, police reports and restraining order against the family member who wouldn't give the certified birth certificate to her, Indian embassy in London, etc. Long story but she got a visa and is now a US citizen despite still not having an original of her BC. Yours is obviously a clerical error you can't resolve so show how you tried if needed.

Edit to add: I have yet to run across a restaurant in Houston that doesn't give free refills.

Ian.

At least we've cleared up the confusion about your wife being 74.

Did we?

Man used to love the show heartbeat...id be pissed too.

[IamIan 14]

Thanks for your help Nich Nick. I will do just that. I'm going to have one last go and goto the station where I got arrested originally face to face. I was so baffled about it, I even rang my mum to make sure she wasn't on safari when she gave birth.

A family? Not many ladies at the age of 74 are able to pop out kids!

Why are you trolling this site?

Who's trolling? I'm asking advice on my subject access report.

[IamIan 14]

That's another thread completely.

And just to add... the admins said in that thread that it shouldn't be restarted or referred to again in any other thread. So it is you who's breaking forums rules now.

Add that to your Log..."rang Mum and asked if she gave birth while on safari." Response "No". I think that SAR error is the least of your worries.

[IamIan 14]

Goooood idea. ?

I'm glad it's the least of my worries.

I don't want to be taking any chances with this thing.

Your post really made me giggle!!! I have nothing to add... Just wanted to give the nod of approval to the humour used... You might wanna stock up on Yorkshire tea bags for when you go! Lipton just doesn't cut it when it comes to a northerners preference for tea!!
