I was contacted on a sad immigration case some hours ago.
The prospective student landed at Heathrow Airport yesterday with a validly issued student visa. The Border Force staff who attended to him started querying his educational certificates which were genuine and threatened him until he said it was not a genuine school certificate out of fear.
He arrived yesterday and they took his phone from him and did not tell him he can get a lawyer. The poor soul eventually got to me at the last minute. Before I could say Jack, they had removed him wrongfully. The return flight was slated for 6pm and he got to me very, very late.
If you are planning to come to the UK, have a lawyer’s details ready from now on. It does not have to be me as some deranged people may think I am advertising.
Immediately, you are stopped and it is not going well, tell them you need to contact your lawyer. Insist on talking to your lawyer. They won’t kill you.
After doing this job for over 20 years, I can tell you confidently that a lot of the Border Force staff are inexperienced or racist. Tonight’s case was an example of that.
Let me repeat again, stop panicking at the border. If not, you will be removed unlawfully. I will still fight for the client but he should not have been removed
