"The son of the former Prime Minister Baroness Thatcher had hoped to be reunited with his family in Texas. But he said on Sunday: "I shall make the family home in Europe, not the UK"
What's the matter Mark, don't feel welcome there either? GOOD.

Re: Sir Mark Thatcher refused US visa
I always thought he was a waste of time. Can't say I am shedding any tears over that decision.

They were probably worried about him hatching a plot to overthrow the current "regime" in Washington.....not that that would be a bad thing!

Re: Sir Mark Thatcher refused US visa
Didn't say why it had been rejected though....would be interesting to see why, because funding a coup surely isn't a CIMT??? *lol*

I also read a claim that his visa application would not have been helped by his business record in America when he lived there in the Eighties. He reached an out-of-court settlement with a former business partner who accused him of money laundering, perjury and theft. He was also investigated by the US tax authorities over his alleged role in a home alarms firm that went bankrupt.
Whatever the exact reasons for denial are - I'm just glad to see that the US authorities do not make exceptions for certain people!

Re: Sir Mark Thatcher refused US visa
its very probable that he was denied entry into the US previously. why else would he need to apply for a US visa. Isn' he married to an american. could be that he was applying for an immigrant visa.
