Hi there,
I'm a British Citizen (26, M) who is thinking about taking a two week vacation to Canada this summer/autumn. A few years ago I was denied a US Student visa however, and was wondering what I should prepare for to ensure that it's not a huge issue. The whole story is I worked in the USA for 6 months after graduating university and met lots of wonderful people. The following year I applied to study in the States and expected the interview to be very similar to my working holiday visa - but it was a lot more in-depth and I did not have the required documents to prove I intended to return to the United Kingdom etc. So in short it was refused and I promptly forgot about the whole thing.
Now that I'm planning to take a vacation outside the European Union I've realised that this is something that could be an issue and would like to take whatever measures I can to ensure I can take my fortnight's break. My first question would be is this something the border official is going to take massive issue with? If so, what sort of things can I show him/her to let them know I will be returning to the UK after my holiday? I still live with my parents for convenience/money saving but I have a healthy bank balance. I could provide a letter from my employer saying when they expect me to return plus my plane tickets/hotel bookings as well.
What would you suggest for me to travel worry-free? Or would it be better just taking another vacation to Europe? Thanks!
