That is odd Georgie the Wanker---- that is probably what you look like with gray hair!!!! He looks like a young Georgie the wanker...

He obviously is trying to do things legally as I hear it's as easy as pie to fly from Belfast to Canada and many backroads into Maine, Wisconsin and Minnesota, etc. that hunters use regularly chasing game back and forth across the border.

FYI to all the insensitive a-holes that posted on this issue. He is a citizen of Northern Ireland, born and raised. He holds a British passport as when needing one for travel as a teen it was a quicker passport to obtain. He never needed an Irish one but could get one if and when desired. He checked with the American Consulate in Belfast while still in Northern Ireland about being able to return to the US due to his current status in his Green Card process. He was advised not to return as he will face a possible lifetime ban. He is trying to do things legally unlike MANY people in the US or ANY other country that are currently (and will remain) illegal without ANY intention of being a citizen or paying taxes. Put yourself in his shoes and think of what you would do? I would hope that you would have enough decency to go see your dying father too! Apparently you have nothing else going for yourself than to post nasty comments about someone and something you have VERY little knowledge on. You must be a REAL looker yourself!!

did more than a year in prison while there. They are forever cancelling the visas of British and other emigrants who are released from prison and sticking them on the first plane back to England. Some came over as children and had never been back to the UK or other countries and had their visas cancelled upon release from prison and were deported back!

rpmschevy; I have never seen an immigration system as tight as the Aussie one. There was no way you could get in or out of the country without them knowing. There were very few overstayers, because you could not get a job with your existing tax number without it flashing up on some immigration officer's computer somewhere. Indeed, one of Australia's most popular TV programmes is Border Security, where they scrutinise people at the airports and launch regular raids on building sites, restaurants and farm looking for overstayers. Indeed, they had a habit of cancelling your visa if you

It is odd that he seems to have contacted the embassy before he showed up at the airport. That suggests he knew he was pulling a fast one. Perhaps he'll use the time now at his disposal to lose some weight--he's grossly fat.

In Australia they chuck you straight in the immigration detention centre if they catch you overstaying your visa.

It sounds like he didn't want to go back to the states. He could have tried at the airport. They let him in once before, why not a second time.
