Denial of Entry - Impact on Process

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

When did the denial occur in relation to the visa process? What was the reason for denial?

I agree, a source would be nice.

By the way, I just got word that the London Embassy are giving out free donuts in the waiting room.

The source is the beneficiary reporting the event directly to me.

I find that information to be highly suspect and unreliable. Unless it was in writing, I would not believe that to be the true reason. London occasionally takes longer in scheduling interview appointments, for whatever reason. Mostly due to mislaying a file, which is much more likely the case here. Furthermore, the embassy 800 number does not give information over the phone. They give the caller an email code so that he/she may write to the embassy and wait for an email response.

Get the facts before posting misleading information.

The fact is that the beneficiary, with a connection to me personally, reported his experience directly to me. If the Consulate lied to him, so be it. That was the direct report. Please simply take it for what it may be worth to you in your situation.

This is a worthless load of rubbish and you shouldn't post unsubstantiated information. It is irresponsible to do so and will likely lead to unnecessary panic in other members.

No Denial, just a DELAY

No Denial, just a DELAY

Denial as in Denied Entry

This comment is uncalled for. Many times we read posts from the actual individuals recounting what they have been told when they have called DOS or a Consulate or the USCIS mis-information line. While it is fine to suspect information that is relayed that way, it is not fine to insult the person relaying the information. If this is what the person has been told we have no way of determining if or if not it is valid. There may well be other circumstances in this situation that makes it valid. Instead of attacking the messenger, just take the message with a grain of salt.

No, Kathryn, its not uncalled for. The information CANNOT be verified and it IS irresposible to treat this as a matter of fact. I'm disappointed that you believe erronious information is harmless.

VJ is utterly pathetic these days.

This information is as verifiable as any other 'evidence' that is offered by any other member of VJ. This site is about personal experiences and yes, some of those do turn out to be faulty. Many of us have been given mis-information from various consulates and USCIS - but by the same token, many of us have also been given accurate information. Would you be so upset if the individual involved had actually come here and said this is what the Consulate told me when I called instead of how it was recounted? Would you have been as upset if someone said, 'my friend was told this by the Consulate'. Would you still be telling them their experience was a 'worthless piece of rubbish' and irresponsible?

Your comments were a personal attack against another member of Visa Journey and that is what was uncalled for. There are ways to disagree with information that was presented that do not attack members.

Personal attack? Where Kathryn? You're really grasping at straws here.

Those of us who are familiar with the London consulate can tell you that there is no anecdotal evidence to suggest what the OP has posted to be true. The pay # of the consulate does not routinely provide any specific reasons for anything, nor do they give information. They provide the caller with an email code so that an email can be sent. If anybody posted the erroneous information, I would have questioned them. But for a seasoned member to pass gargage off as useful information is irresponsible.

I posted current accurately reported anecdotal evidence. The reason I posted it was because it was contrary to my own personal understanding prior to receiving the report. Again, the fact is that's what the person was told. Whether they were told the truth is anybody's guess. The information will impact my responses to others in similar situations until I receive compelling evidence to supersede it. What others do with the information is their choice. I am simply sharing information.

[Kathryn41 3,205]

I'm just saying that there are better ways to express your disagreement than the way you chose.

I also wish to remind everyone that Off Topic types of comments and photos - such as the one I removed - are not acceptable in the Upper Forums.

So do you have more information on the person's case? IE. The details of why they were denied entry?

Yes, they were denied entry when attempting to enter the US using the VWP in the company of their USC fiancee. The point is there was a denied entry, not a denied visa and the IV unit in London indicates they waited for a report from the POE before scheduling a K1 interview. This is not a discussion about the reasons for the denied entry as the IV unit didn't know the reason until they received the report.
