What does the following UK leave stamp mean?
The user behind this question, a US national with a previous UK visa refusal, was recently subject to extreme scrutiny at Heathrow Airport before being admitted, albeit with a custom leave stamp rather than the standard one.
If a normal leave to enter for visitors was granted, why would such a custom stamp be issued rather than the default one?
Best Answer
My experience when I was detained at Heathrow May 2016 was as a result of an Officer in Portsmouth that had a gripe with Australians and stamped my passport with one of those alerting visas.
I've written several letters to Home Office, without any luck. You are correct in that a flag is retained for 10 years, regardless if I was still allowed into the UK and have it in writing, that I am not a threat to the country.
