ARE IMMIGRATION LAWS FAIR?
Henrygerken`s Argument
 
|
So I'm in a bar in the U.K. and make a new Scottish friend. As we drink and talk through the night he asks me a fairly simple question. "Why am I only allowed to come to the U.S. for six months a year?" The rest of the story is this: He is retired military and owns a home in the U.S. as well as Spain. He is allowed to come to his home in the U.S. each year and spend money but for only six months. He is retired, has no desire to work anymore and is financialy secure. There would be no loss of jobs to immigrant labor in his case, he is more than willing to spend money (i.e. full year health insurance only for the U.S. and full year golf club membership) and be a productive part of his community in Florida. The comment was made that "my" president has said in numerous situations that there is a special friendship and cooperation between the UK and the USA, why then can he not get a full year visa. If the US is truly in a special relation ship with the UK then I think that we should offer full-non working year long visa's to individuals desiring to come to the US to retire. |

what are the laws with an american trying to stay in the UK??
My circumstances are different, as everyone is in different situations... I was surprised to find out I couldnt be here for more than 6 months, without a visa.
I came here, spent about 5 months here, and then went to the states for Xmas with my family, when I went to come back to the UK they told me no and were not going to let me come into the UK, because I had already been here about 6 months and after 6 months you have to have a visa.
They eventually let me through after a heated debate with my husband (boyfriend at the time) saying that I HAD to get a visa within the next 6 months! I had to then get engaged, after only knowing my boyfriend a short time, just so I could stay in the country, I love my husband, with all my heart and we would've ended up married either way, but it was kind of forced upon us, just so we could be together
Immigration laws are rediculous and for 2 countries that are supposed to be tight -- they're not!!
