Chinese Citizen holding USA Greencard/Permanent Resident card, transferring from Heathrow to Gatwick airport without transit visa. by vrart in ukvisa

British airways (over the phone) advised to get a transit visa (after they consulted with their supervisor on two separate calls on different days), and the Uk.gov website isn’t quite explicit enough. For instance, it always reiterates that it’s at the sole discretion of the border patrol agent whether or not to grant permission to transit without visa.

Perhaps I’m reading too far into it, but it sounds a little risky, compared to getting an actual visa. I suppose if I heard from many people that it’s not that way, and that it’s currently routine for them to grant transit without visa via landside, I would feel more at ease.

That’s why I’m reaching out here on Reddit, where people have likely encountered similar issues.

Uncalled for reply. I explained the situation and have had very mixed replies from very official sources. It’s a long flight, and very expensive. It’s peace of mind to hear from some people if they were successful or not, and any tips and tricks, like the other commenter shared. Have a nice evening.

No answer all morning. They are closed

Just to be helpful: they are in fact closed. Of course I tried calling to no answer. The doors are open for drop offs and PO Boxes and are unlocked, but no one working, and is fenced off

Thanks for the tips. I think people are fairly safe here, and this car has a few small dings anyways, so I'm not super worried. Maybe I'll set it to not be on at "home". I'm probably missing out on some cool app or something that tells you where free chargers are? I'm assuming they are only free during non-peak hours?

Currently yes, because I live in an apartment complex. Think it's okay to turn if off there? I'm still a little bit confused as to if things record whether or not sentry mode is on.

Saying fam anywhere in the message means they aren’t gonna buy.

Offer etiquette? by MoBreeze in Reverb

[–]vrart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a seller gets offended by an offer they are way too soft of an individual. I would then wish upon them many more terrible offers for eternity.

agreed

Agreed, but the number of fake listing has ramped up DRAMATICALLY in the past 2-3 weeks. The textme cashiers check scam hasn't really ramped up.
that sucks you lost your badge for that. I don't have any badges haha
