Credentials?

Maybe English is not your mother tongue, I apologise.

What are your creditanials for the advice?

You've got a bit of a problem.

To get annoyed when someone thanks you for the advice.

Logically I don't know what software scans the site hence South America, my girlfriend etc for Border control websites.

This could even be set up to entrap people dodging proper visa procedure

So that's why I was vague.

But even so take a look at your anger management, it's way way off in reaction to my thanks for the advice

Strange your annoyed.

Your advice seems to concur with me and I am grateful.

But we both know that it's unlikely to be a good result.

To be honest why should someone wander into the UK or US that doesn't add something positive to the country.

In UK at moment one of the key factors in our election campaign ( May 7th) is being fought on immigration from the European Union

He's a good friend but........

I'm not sure why you are upset, your advice and guidance is exactly what I need to pass on to my friend.

Everyone has said exactly the same stuff really.

My friend has an arrogance that borders on stupidity.

As earlier I spent a short time reading the Web and thought " you cannot use a holiday visa for full time ( nearly) residency.

I got very angry when he suggested visiting the UK for some dental treatment on our NHS NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE

Pm me a mobile number and I'll text you from the UK, but

Semantics, but you guys have given advice I actually thought was the case. Which is why I posted.

My friend is literally trying to have his cake and eat it.

Stupid thing is that if she gets turned around at the airport and loses the visa, it'll be very difficult for her to get another.

He told me she's going to try (STUPID IMHO) to reenter.

You can lead a horse to water.....

Thanks, it's not about me. I'm in the UK and happy here. It's kinda irrelevant who the advice is for really. I came to the same conclusion and "helpfully " told my friend. He went ballistic and said point me to a similar case or **** *ff.

That's why I wrote this up, thanks for the advice do you have any experience (legal) or just knowledge from travelling?

That's exactly what I told my friend.

You are trying to circumvent the visa, she won't get in, the PoE officers are not stupid. Do it right, but he just says it'll be fine.

STUPID I KNOW, I spent about half an hour reading and realised he's in a bad situation

You should read the posts Sharing.

No, that's the plan eventually.

Thanks for your help guys. This story revolves around a friend of mine. I heard stories similar about visitors to US trying to circumvent the visa requirements. I read the official Border control websites and came to the same conclusion.My friend "shot the messenger " slammed phone down and said "you're talking ****"

Knowing him he'll gamble then blame everybody else if she gets turned around.

If you've any ideas fire on please.

The best outcome according to you guys then is 2 months max, worst straight flight back. Are there any legal loopholes?

Ok, that's what I kinda thought. So if she alternates between South America and US with the greatest time out, that'll be the best way until I can get residency for her?

As I thought it's as clear as mud. Please does anyone know " how long it is before you can re enter the US after a 6 month stay? There must be some sort of simple rules?

I'm a EU citizen with residency so I figure that this will not help either?

This is difficult, it seems very tricky to understand. At POE I would have thought there would be simple rules but it doesn't add up. her immigration office say "Yes of course you've got a visa" But everyone has a different opinion.

Surely if she's not working it's not hurting anyone?

No mortgage, job or house in South America, should I marry her? After this trip she'll have stayed 11 months out of 13 in the USA, is this or will this cause major problems at POE?

My girlfriend stayed in USA for 5 1/2 months, she has been out of the country for 2 months. What will be the outcome if she returns within 2 months?

Am I wasting my hard earned dollars on the flight? She lives in South America?

She has a ten years visa
