That's a problem right there. You need to call and get to a high up person or go to the airport and have at it with the BA management there.

I would take your documentation, air tickets, ER docs etc to an airport with flights back to the UK. Ask for Immigration and tell them the story face to face.Either they will force BA to take you or may even extend your visa to get it sorted.But be ready to fly at any time. The longer you leave it the worse the Immigration will think your trying it on and not look favourably at you, when you finally sort it.

You normally only see immigration officials when you enter the country and you cannot enter that area?

I cant get home! I came to the USA 3 months ago on a visiter visa the day I was due to fly out I ended up in hospital after a fall BA will not honer my ticket, i tried and failed to get a new ticket home but having very few people in the uk. I failed with that route.

I tried the embassy no joy they told me it was a immigration problem, so today after a week being here over my visa I called the department of immigration who told me they cant do anything to help, but to contact local charities or my local paper here in the USA.
I can't express how much these two paragraphs offend me. There is just so much fail. I'm sorry BA wouldn't "honer" your ticket and that you've overstayed your "visiter visa" (you're here on a visa waiver, my friend, meaning you don't have a visa.)

I'll second the question; whose computer are you using?

Also, am I meant to take pity on you and send you money for getting home?
Please post some contact details and I'll get right on it. Western Union? Moneygram?

There's no way this is the whole story. Like Octang, I smell bullshit and/or a scam.

And how do you suggest he does that with no money?:rolleyes:

My suggestion - commit yourself a crime and force them to deport you back to the UK - on their dime.....:rofl:

Number 1 i have asked for no money from anyone on here and i wont, i only posted to get advice as the embassy wont help me BA wont help me and the US immigration wont help me. I am in a bit of a mess and dont want your money just advice and as i am aware thats still free?

And number 2 i didnt know about the visa thing but i am still only allowed 90 days in the country

And number 3 i can get on a computer at any library in the USA all i need is ID

But to the other person who told me i was trying a scam i have the documentary proof of what i saying i have the phone records showing me calling the department of homeland security i have e-mails from BA saying i cant fly and i have my passport showing my 90 days are up.

So if it is a scam i am pulling out all the stops and making it look real, or maybe just maybe i am in a bit of a hole and thats where you can put your bloody thoughts!

Doh! Willmore, we send him the money. Wait, a better suggestion. OP should get his ass to Washington and ask for a bailout.

I'm just hoping there is at least one of you out there who can appreciate how much restraint it takes to avoid a waving red flag like this one:

Then get your head out of your arse. Emailing BA won't get you anywhere. Phone up and demand to talk to a supervisor, and keep going until they agree to honor your return flight. It's not ****ing rocket science!
