I would highly recommend that you go to the nearest UK Consulate or Embassy and explain them your situation. I'm sure they'll have some sort of solution to help you out.

Good Luck!


Stoned!

I would highly recommend that you go to the nearest UK Consulate or Embassy and e:confused:xplain them your situation. I'm sure they'll have some sort of solution to help you out.this was sent by stoned

I contacted the British embassy in Houston by phone it is a long way and I don't drive they said they could not help me that I had to save money to fly out as fast as possible otherwise if I was caught I could and would be detained by immigration I am out of my mind with worry if I had a credit or debit card it would be easier but I don't have one I have to pay cash I guess I will have to go to a shelter and save I just hope the travel agency will accept cash or I am really stuck

Don't you have family or friends in the UK who can help you?

No I don't have anyone to help me I wish I did all the travel agencies take credit cards they don't take cash I am stuck and do not know what to do
 
Where are you getting your $150/week from? Where did you live/work in the UK? You mean to tell me that you have no friends or family anywhere on the planet?
 
To the real Canadian

The 150& is a uk pension. I am on retirement pension from the uk I was born andlived in Manchester England I have a daughter who is estranged from me we are not close I don't know where she is what friends I had live elsewhere like Arabia so I have nobody I did not know many people the rest. Of my family have died
 
I'm almost 110% sure that this is a scam. The British Consulate or Embassy will bend over backwards to help it citizens. I'm thinking the only connection this person has to the UK, is via Kenya! No one offer to send them a dime.....
 
If she overstayed her visa, she could turn herself in to ICE, and be removed very quickly as a visa waiver violator.

I will ask the British embassys to send me a reply by email
and I will copy and paste it here for you too read then you may realize I am genuine
 
Well that's upto you you can think what you like but not all people are judgemental personally I'm not bothered what you think it's a shame that some people see the worse in people are you British? I guess not
 
Those previous posts were most unhelpful, .40cal.

Rose, here's the problem you face. You moved away from the UK to the US with no guarantees of getting married, with no means of getting back to the UK if things didn't work out. Apparently, you have nothing to your name at all, and exist entirely on your pension. And no friends, no relatives, nothing. Now I can see a sixteen year old doing this, but someone who's on a pension and presumably a bit older than sixteen? It strikes me as breathtakingly poor judgment.

dafortycal does have a point, in the worst case ICE could deport you. I assume you have no further plans to return to the US?
 
Yes I would agree I was an idiot believing the man do I plan on returning to the US NO WAY! Well as they say there's no fool like an old fool

Something does not compute. If you are on a 150 quid pension per week, and you have no credit or debit card, how are you availing of those funds in the US ?

You did not come to the U.S on a special visa ? But landed up on a Visa Waiver Program, and overstayed. As they say; Devil my dear Dr. Watson is in the detail :) It is very very difficult -- figure out how you would land in Heathrow and survive ? Yo must have someone and some place to go. You could get a cheap charter flight for 700-800 USD if you look hard.

You could also go to britishexpats.com where you might get a British expat view of the world.
