Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
My inability to do so means that a warrant will be issued in the coming two months for my arrest. It isn't a standard warrant, but a specialized blue warrant for parole violators. I've already been to prison and served my time, on top of that I've completed four years of parole as well.
I've been punished enough!
Extradition is very unlikely for a parole violation. Unless there is a mechanism in place specifically for shipping parole violators back, I really don't think much is going to happen to me in the UK. I'll stay with family, find a job and get my wife and boy over here to join me as soon as possible. God I'm going to miss them!

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
To get an ETD:
1) You need to call the nearest British consulate. In our situation, we called Chicago
2) The Consul I spoke to then asked for my Brit hubby's name, DOB, Place of Birth, etc. She then checked to see if his info was in their database. If the info is in their database, they can issue an ETD fairly quickly. If the info isn't in the d/b, then they will have to do some further background check. I don't know what that entails as my hubby's info was in the system. We knew within a couple of hours of calling the consulate that his info was in the system and they could issue the ETD.
3) Be aware that your flight must already be booked. An ETD is good for one-time travel, on a specific flight that transits through specific countries. This information must be given to the consul via email before your appointment, IIRC.
4) Since it's been so long since you had a passport, they may need to see additional documentation to prove your identification - birth cert, expired UK passport, etc.
5) The day of my hsuband's appointment, he provided all the required paperwork and was issued his ETD in around 2hours.

The reason is that he does not have a current passport and needs to travel.

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
I am having a problem reading this as legit. The fact this op comes on a public forum looking for advise on how to do something that is illegal is questionable to begin with. His intent is an attempt to circumvent the law which is a criminal offence, and that will include anyone that attempts to assist him. He will most likely be stopped at the airport anyway(especially if the original crime concluded with a felony conviction). I am most surprised that BE has allowed this thread at all.

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
One would have thought he would have already known that. If this is legit and he is poking around for ideas, he can look forward to his public posting as evidence against him should they run online searches against him. Just his indication that he violated parole and is looking at another prison stint, and considering a run would be law enforcement's motivation to nab him and revoke any bail. IP tracking alone is as easy as pie and location sourced. This thread should be pulled and reported.

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
There is no warrant for my arrest, and there may not ever be one issued. I'm examining my options thoroughly. If a warrant should be issued, I will promptly turn myself in, as I did when I was initially indicted.
All I've done is ask questions here. I didn't have to provide honest back story, but I did so regardless. I haven't done anything wrong by inquiring here, and your implication that people could be held accountable for providing me information is ludicrous. I will immediately discontinue my web visits here, however, as a portion of the community is clearly not comfortable with my presence. I must say that it is very disheartening, however. I'm a criminal, as I've admitted, but I'm still a human being. There are people that rely on me, and it is my responsibility to look into every angle of my situation to determine how best to act. That's my duty as a husband and a father. Bah, what a shame! Good-bye!

Re: Returning to the UK in a hurry
Sorry, but you lost your right to the title of 'human being' when you committed your crime!
...and you lost your position of having people rely on you when you failed a drug test while on probation!
Man up. Do the right thing for once. Give yourself up and get into rehab. Then MAYBE, you can win back the privilege if being a husband and father.
