Ravensnake -> Immigration questionnaire (6/13/2009 3:43:59 PM)

An example.....
Silly questions have been around for a while. A century ago the comic songwriter, W S Gilbert, entered the US despite answering the question “Is it your intention to overthrow the government of the United States by force?” with the words “Sole purpose of visit”. His application for a visa was not rejected because there was no procedure for dealing with people who answered yes.

Hmm.. *rethinks my plans for emmigrating*



FourQ -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/13/2009 4:53:23 PM)

I bet they've f'kin got around to it now!



ster -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/14/2009 3:06:24 AM)

I don't think that they ask that question anymore.
Now they just check your passport to make sure that you don't have islam or mohammad anywhere in your name.



FourQ -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/14/2009 3:21:02 AM)

We do the same here in Britain, it's one of the conditions of getting in here!

You just have to love our government

This reminds me of my New Zealand friend that was transferred from our Auckland office to Sydney.  When he was applying for his visa, the inspector asked him "Do you have a criminal record?"

To which my friend replied (with his typically Kiwi sense of humor) "Oh gosh, no.  Do you still need one of those to move here?"

Paul got his visa but reported that the inspector was not amused.

lol
I like your mate already!



PeonForHer -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/14/2009 1:02:42 PM)

These customs and immigration people are never amused.  It's their job not to be amused.  Brits are warned never, ever to crack any jokes with US border controls especially.  I doubt that our own are any better with US visitors.

Actually, the British inspectors are pretty nice.  I would rather go through Heathrow than any American airport (so long as I don't have to change from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3 on a tight schedule). [:)]



DarkSteven -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/14/2009 8:25:00 PM)

From Wikipedia:  Groucho's [Marx] son, Arthur, published a brief account of an incident that occurred when Arthur was a child. The family was going through airport customs and, while filling out a form, Groucho listed his name as "Julius Henry Marx" and his occupation as "smuggler". Thereafter, chaos ensued.

I'm still amazed Pirate got in to the States so easily for his visit, especially with his jewellery.

I'm also amazed that the IRS instructions specify that you must report any illegal income.

"Honey---don't forget to add that take from that bank job last summer!"

GreedyTop -> RE: Immigration questionnaire (6/16/2009 8:09:54 AM)

On the UK immigration form, on the page where it asks you about any terrorist affiliations or activities you may be (or have been) party.. 

it closes with a question about whether you can be considered a a person of good character...[8|]

[sm=writing.gif]  I'm redoing all 2" of my Canadian Immigration paperwork... .if I find anything like this, I'll be sure to report it.    I'd be glad to report nothing stoopid on the form but I'll see. [8|]

I declared the jewelery ... mind you it multiplied by the return trip [;)]

Umm, Greedy, did you admit being affiated with Pirate?  Did it delay your paperwork at all? [8D]
