Apparently I look like the type to work illegally in the country, you know like in a pub for 5 quid an hour... Sounds like me right?
So much so that they keep stamping my passport with a "special" stamp that means every time I come back and forth from the UK I get the 3rd degree and apparently according to the very serious officer I last spoke with I probably won't get access to the country next time...
Apparently the fact I've been on a working holiday before is suspicious, especially since I only stayed a year out of the two and only worked as the visa stipulated... I know right, I also see how this is a reason for concern... Also I can see why they would think a university educated professional, who has a mortgage and earns a good wage, would want to work illegally for a pittance... Also I gather they've never been to Sydney if they think I would prefer to live in London like a povo, but hey ho!
So now I have to gather letters from work to say I'm returning, mortgage papers and any other documents that will help prove I don't plan on living and working illegally... and maybe they'll let me back in...maybe... stay tuned for June 23...
