Brit banned from the US... ... for life, after sending Barack Obama an "abusive" email i'd love to see what he actually wrote to get banned from the entire United States, forever. The teenager told the Bedfordshire On Sunday newspaper that he had sent the email after watching a TV programme about September 11 http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK...fe_For_Sending_Abusive_Email_To_Barack_Obama_
It's easy to get banned from the US like.. my mate got banned for 10 years just for being arrested a few times over here.
aye. i'll be able to head over next year when some cautions get knocked off my name (yes. thats right - i've been told not to travel over there with CAUTIONS!)
Who told you? Unless something has changed in the last 5 years and they now have a system than can instantly check a persons record for cautions from another country, then they have no way of knowing about your cautions unless you tell them. I was in the same boat but decided to just risk it and go anyway and I had no problems.
he sent an abusive message to the president... i don't think its too over the top to ban him from the country to be honest
He must have been REALLY pissed to think that would ever be a good idea! *Cue mysterious unknown disease in 17 year old from Silsoe*
yeah it was simply advice off the travel agent bod. they dont have the ability to check your record at the minute, but if they did find out in some shape or form, they'd no doubt knock you back. havent the new biochip passports have your info on it? i've got an old one so i'm ok on that score. i know someone who's been knocked back from newark airport for his past convictions and they simply put him on a flight back which he had to pay for, sounded a nightmare!
I don't know about the new passports, but have never heard about them containing criminal records. Would make sense for big crimes etc, but doesn't seem like an efficient system to use for everyone in the country seeing as someone could commit a load of crimes after first recieving their new passport and customs would never know about it. Anyone know? Also, (unless the laws changed in the last 5 years) there's no expiry for cautions when you're talking about entering the USA. Whether you got one last week or got one 20 years ago makes no difference whether or not you need to apply for a visa. It no doubt comes into consideration when the decision to issue one is made, but it also depends on the reason the caution was given and from everything I've heard, anything relating to drugs does you no favours whatsoever. A trip to the US Embassy involves getting down to London (Or Glasgow I think), paying about £60 for the pleasure of their company, and then finding out whether you're allowed a visa, or whether you're banned from applying again (or entering the US) for the next 10 years like my m8.
You fucking idiot A Travel Agent advised you pmsl Cautions are cool I am a USA veteran with more background than the windows desktop folder

fair play. however it shook me when i learnt my mate got knocked back and sent home i wasnt going to risk 2 grand on thinking americans are cunts and no nothing better. i suppose we're still a distance away from a different country having your background history, at least i think anyway like!
