iainiain101 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 (edited) MORE than 4,000 foreigners have been stopped from sneaking into Britain by biometric visas, it was revealed yesterday. Almost three-quarters tried to use a false name after earlier asylum refusals — but were found out after their fingerprints were matched to existing records held by immigration authorities. Immigration minister Liam Byrne said: “We always thought our borders were at risk from people lying about their identity. Evidence proves that — and biometrics are the answer. Report from this mornings Sun. I guess this proves that the extra hassle in getting the missus over to the UK is worth it in the long run! Iain //Edit: see here for full article.
