| hi last september 08 i traveled to orlando airport with my family,5 of us, as i live and work in kissimmee, myself ,my wife and two of our children on e-visas ,our eldest son that is 22 came with us on the waiver as he live and works in the UK,and they refused him entry ,and he has never been in trouble in any way what so ever,but on the day they just said no and put him back on the plane back to the UK,the only thing i can think of is that it was the day befor 9/11 so security was at its max ,i complaned to the homland security and other but all i got back was it was down to the officer on the gate ,,,great thanks WELCOME TO AMERICA ,so please dont take anything for granted
my son wants to come to see me but is scarred he might get refused again,has anyone got any ideas?he has been told he has to go and get a visa now as well |

| | I'm thinking that they're thinking that as the rest of you all live in Florida and you were all travelling together, that your son was also intending to do the same. |

| I would suggest a visa would be the only safe option taking proof of his intention to live in the UK.
Many years ago my brother went with a friend to visit the friends extended family. His friend had to take letters from his school to say he was going to return to the UK to finish his schooling |

| | It's true that he will need to apply for a Visa as he has been refused entry but hopefully it will be straightforward enough if he takes evidence of his work commitments and if he has a rented property or is buying. If has signed a new rental agreement before he visits that is good proof to them he intends to return. |

| | That is insane! Did they not give you any reasoning for why he was turned away? Maybe someone who had the same name as him got into trouble. They are very strict these days. But sometimes they can be nice because my Guatemalan friend went there without a transit visa, not knowing that you needed a visa just to pass through. She was detained for many hours but they let her go on to Mexico!! I guess she was just lucky. |
