Thread Name: Canadian singer Allison Crowe refused entry to UK
Subject: RE: Canadian singer Allison Crowe refused entry to UK
They've done it again - this time it wasn't a musician being caught out by this stupid new system, ot was a young girl from Argentina's Welsh community planning to stay with a family in Wales for a few months - Welsh learner denied entry to UK

"A woman has been sent back from the UK to Patagonia after immigration officials refused to believe she was travelling to Wales to learn Welsh....There has been a Welsh settlement in the South American region since 1865. After a flight lasting approximately 15 hours, Evelyn Calcabrini, 20, arrived at London Heathrow on 25 May, a Bank Holiday. Ms Calcabrini, 20...had arranged to stay with Eos Griffiths and his Patagonian-born wife Carina, at their home in Glyndyfrdwy.

She had a letter from the couple, confirming they would support her during her stay in the UK. However, she was told she could not stay in the UK and was sent home.


If you haven't signed that petition up the thread, it might be a good idea to do so. Wherever you live.
