Jan 1, 2016 at 21:54 comment added Michael Hampton He's come up and posted the passport stamps in another question... It seems he was given leave to enter after all.
Dec 22, 2015 at 5:36 comment added Burhan Khalid re the chip "... and can only be read by the scanners at immigration control points." - you cannot "write" onto the chip, only read from it.
Dec 19, 2015 at 1:27 comment added Gayot Fow @phoog, the stop indicator includes open warrants, poi's, just about anything... plus the codes are not consistently used. plus interpol, plus FBI, They have to go to the secured station.
Dec 18, 2015 at 21:18 comment added phoog @DavidRicherby I guess they mean "fleeing into the UK and away from the border and UKBA."
Dec 18, 2015 at 20:33 comment added David Richerby @phoog "Flight risk" seems to be the phrase that's used, even though, as you say, the person fleeing from the UK is exactly what the immigration people want to happen. I guess that "flight", in this case, means "disappearance" more than fleeing.
Dec 18, 2015 at 18:16 comment added phoog I have to add that I knew this was your answer before I finished reading the first sentence. But I'm posting the comment to ask whether "flight risk" is the right term. Wouldn't "overstay risk" or some such be better? As I understand it, a flight risk is someone (perhaps awaiting trial) who is seen as likely not to return when her or his presence is needed. That seems obviously not to be the case here; is there some other sense I'm unaware of?
