Deportation from the UK

[chispas 0]

Hello All,

I'd like to know what are some of the instances where a deportee from the UK can legally return to the country. For example, if I person has children in the UK and is deported, does that person automatically get a special VISA to reenter the country for "family" visits? Also, if a person has been deported from the UK, would that show up on the person's police report? Thanks

Thanks for the links. I also learned today that in the UK if someone has been arrested before there is no way to find that out without the person's permission or them requesting the information. The consulate in San Francisco said that not even a lawyer can get that information from the UK. That's a little scary.

Why is that scary?

There are data protection laws at the national level in the UK, and at the supranational level in the EU.

Just because someone went to law school, it doesn't make them privy to confidential information.

I would think that being arrested would show up in the police report for the interview as you request it yourself so that would show permission, interesting

Amazing the things that you find out, we had someone using our address fraudulently, the guy was even arrested and was out on bail and they were writting to us, I spoke to the police to see how this can happen and they say they dont have the man power to check the addresses out, now that is really scarey

Not sure I understand what you're saying. I'd think if there was a legal case, the individuals trying the person should be able to get information through the legal system to prove their cases. I don't think lawyers run around trying to pry into other people's private life without needing that information for their cases.

It doesn't show up on the report after X number of years. So technically one can lay low and it'll eventually disappear. That is what I understand.

Under UK law they would only be entitled to that information if it was a criminal case in which case it would be a law enforcement agency rather than a lawyer applying for that information. Taking a civil law case against an individual would not entitle you or your lawyer to have access to confidential information held about that individual as that would be a breach of their human rights.

Wow. Thanks for the information.
