Detained on Heathrow (London) airport

[Nitin_Virmani]

Hi Friends,

My wife then girl friend was detained on London airport "under paragraph 16 of schedule 2 to the 1971 act 01 arrested under paragraph 17 of schedule 2 to that act.".

Now we are married and of course i want to bring her here on dependent VISA but i am not sure if there will be any problem for her to get the VISA in Delhi.

I tried finding on the internet and understand what does it mean but couldn't find the after effects of detention under this rule.

Request you to share your experiences and knowledge. Any suggestions and advices are more then welcome[/i]

Detained on arrival or exit? When did this happen, and did she pay for her own flight? You need to provide much more information about why she was detained and the subsequent action by the UKBA. If you don't know then she certainly does, so you have to ask her for that information. What is your own immigration status?

Hi Lucapooka,

Thank you very much for your reply.

She was detained on arrival. It has already been a year and i paid for her ticket to come to London.

The first page which says IS.91R on the top right corner has 2 boxes checked.

1. There is insufficient reliable information to decide on whether to grant you temporary admission or release.

2. You failed to give satisfactory or reliable answers to an immigration officer's inquiries.

There is another page which says IS.82A on the top right corner

That says "is seeking to enter the UK for a purpose other than one for which entry is permitted by immigration rules (section 88(2) (d)2)"

Third page says you have been detained "under paragraph 16 of schedule 2 to the 1971 act 01 arrested under paragraph 17 of schedule 2 to that act."

And was sent back after finger prints and interrogation.

I am here on work permit contract with my company for 5 years.

Please let me know if you need any other information. I will be thankful if you can suggest what should we do next since i want to bring her here as my dependent.

Thanks again

She was refused entry; that's not a problem. Her next visa application will ask if she has ever been refused entry to the UK so all she needs to do is give the details of this. It will not affect her eligibility for a visa if she, otherwise, meets the requirements for that visa (whatever it may be).

Hi Lucapooka,

Thanks for your reply again.

I am glad to know there shouldn't be a problem.

Also just wanted to ask you if you have had any experience with people who had been refused to enter in the UK and later on they applied their VISA to come over...

The reason i am asking this is to be careful before we apply her dependent VISA.

Thanks in advance and would appreciate your reply.

Regards

My wife application for leave to entry was refused due to insufficient evidence at time of application but then granted entry. Since then we mention in application about the initial refusal but have had at least 2 further leave to remain (extensions) since then. It might be slightly different from your situation but perhaps technically the same.
