Colleagues' Girlfriend Refused Entry at Airport

My guess is that from their point of view they saw an Irish boyfriend was "importing" his Argentine girlfriend and that there was a risk of her intentionally overstaying. With carefully prepared paperwork and a waving around a return ticket they might have got the impression she was trying too hard to proove her intent to return home and though it was bogus.

So what is the actual intent? Does she genuinely intend to return home after her stay, or is she trying to stay but just bluffing with the return ticket?

Had your friend met her before in person?

Not exactly what was described above, I would be fairly certain.

She was not accused of having drugs - cut that BS out.

Her story did not add up and does not add up.

Flying in on tourist visa to visit boyfriend and making sure all paperwork "added up". I read that as flying in to move in with boyfriend and work illegally.

"Called out by a female officer for lacing respect for european law" - More rubbish. Even the wording tells you this is rubbish.

She was nervous, looked suspicious, most likely was going to over stay, did herself no favours, got caught and refused entry. She was not deported - she was refused entry.

So much BS from her that is obviously BS, I'm surprised you wasted your time on it.

There’s holes in that story for definite. I’ve been in that exact situation you described, as the waiting bf! We didn’t have an invitation letter, not that it should’ve had any affect either way. But in my case, an immigration officer just decided they wanted to ask her some more in-depth questions.

The officer was a bit abrupt with her and tried to poke holes in her story, then they phoned me and got my version of events, and then she was let into this country.

I was told she was being detained for questioning, and also asked questions myself. I knew what was going on all along. Your colleague or his gf is leaving out something somewhere. She’d have been given a written reason for refusal for starters.

I also don't believe for a second that a customs officer in an Irish airport told her to 'respect European law' if she accidentally stepped a few cms onto a red line she wasn't supposed to cross.

The OP didn't say that the colleague was Irish.

It wouldn't have been a customs officer, Immigration perhaps.

Not that I believe a word of this story anyway.

I've already pointed out how the end result is different in a that is very important if the OP's friend's girlfriend still hopes to come to Ireland.

Might be a bit of a hot take here, but if the urine test showed she was pregnant, that would make me question her willingness to return.

The drummer from type o negative told me the immigration officer in dublin told him "ah jonny kelly with a name like that you don't need a passport"

:)

If they did a urine test why not test it for pregnancy, in terms of border control I'd see it as reasonable.

😂 😂

Different countries have different procedures, obviously, and often the administrative/practical differences are as significant, or more significant, than the legal differences. But it's generally true that:

• being deported from a country has the most serious and most long-lasting consequences for you, after which
• being denied a visa can cause you long-term problems (depending on the circumstances and the reason for denial), while
• being denied entry has the fewest consequences, and may not even result in any kind of record being created.

You do understand that movies aren't real life, right?

You do understand that movies are often based on true events. Maybe you're only watching Marvel ones though.

they don't stand around while you **** it out. they take to you a special toilet where they can inspect what comes out. there is no reason for them to do a pregnancy test.

really?

Agree with XsApollo

She should have eaten her passport and claimed asylum. Would be here for years no problem, could work after a few months, get an own door house/apartment, free medical, the works. Sorted.
