Hello everyone,
I kinda need advice please. In 2017, I was deported from the US - Chicago POE. I obtained a B1/B2 visa but I had the intention of working temporarily because of the very difficult economic situation I face at home. So I was deported but I wasn't given a specific period of restriction to reapply.
Ever since then, I have been to South Africa, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, France (twice), Germany and Ethiopia. I didn't have any issues travelling to any of these countries or returning home at the right time.
Now, my wife has won a fully sponsored scholarship to study for her PhD in the UK. We have two children and we have already started the process of applying for our VISA. I know the US & UK share travelers' details and so my question is, how do I ensure the mistake I made in the past doesn't affect us now?
What steps do I take? What should I avoid when filling the application form?
I just need your advice please. I am kind of anxious because it would really be painful to miss this opportunity because of a silly mistake I made 3 years ago.
I will be waiting for your responses please.
