    as a side note: when i had to go to that little interview for elementary school they asked me my parents names, and i told them my dad was called “Grusel” because that’s what everybody calls him, and they only other name i knew apart from “papa”. He’s actually called Jürgen. My mam was so embarrassed.

    True story!
    I'm an American and I got a contract in the UK - I was hoping to become a permanent resident, but...
    Anyhoo, after a couple of months on the job, UK Immigration calls me in for an interview and part of it went like this:
    Immigration Officer: What's your mother's first name?
    Me: Oh, dear God, not this.
    IO: You don't know you're mother's name?
    Me: I'm not sure which one is her 'legal' name.
    IO: How many does she have?
    Me: Three, last count. Can I call her? I'll put it on speaker phone.
    So, we call up Mom and she explains that on her birth certificate, it's 'Clara'. On her driver's license (and nearly everything else), it's 'Clare', and on her passport, it's "Claire".

      @janus3555 2 года назад +7

      Not useless. It's for legal purposes. If you answered no and did engage in activity categorized by the question, then it's an intented obfuscation when entering the country.
      From what I recall they have to have an official response from you on the legal document to heighten the punishments for those who engage in actual terrorist activity to include spying.
      A lot of questions are treated as 'bounded statements' that tie you to them for greater legal determinations.

    I entered the US in 2000, just before all hell broke loose globally. I was on a UK passport, after an 11 hour flight that had crossed the international dateline is the right direction... So I was quite confused at landing half an hour after taking off, on the same day!! (had two 30th Octobers that year, I have never flown the other way, so I've got a day to spare).
    I was approached by a young immigration guy, he asked me some questions and I was focusing on being serious and sombre as they are renowned for lacking a sense of humour. But I had chosen to stand in the ALIEN line... because I reckoned that was right. He found that quite funny, and we developed such a rapport that when he scooted back to the "standard" questions and asked me if I had more than 10,000 in dollars I answered "I WISH!!" and he laughed for real.
    Thinking about it, I seem to have had quite positive experiences in flights generally, not forgetting the time my agent screwed up and I arrived at the airport to discover that she had got the flights all wrong, and after a visit to the desk, and a message to my agent, I discovered that she had been woken by a phone call from a pilot who had been listening to my tale at the counter... and he got me onto his flight. I actually arrived earlier than planned, and straight to Heathrow, which is 20 minutes from basecamp. I must have a little travel elf.
