Should I worry about being refused a ‘transit without visa concession’ in the UK?
Some people who cannot enter the UK without a visa can still transit ‘airside’ without a visa (e.g. visa nationals who don't require a Direct Airside Transit Visa or DATV nationals flying to the US). In that case, it's also possible to apply for a ‘transit without visa concession’ at the border to pass though Immigration control (say to change airports). But the website stresses that the decision is left at the discretion of the Immigration Officer.
How likely is it to be bounced?
What criteria do Immigration Officers use for that?
Does the UK Border Agency release any guidelines or statistics about those decisions?
