Flat out refusal for a simple visitor visa despite providing ample proof of savings and a return ticket and information of where I would be staying. Plus immigration history in passport (including a US visa) proves that there has been a lot of overseas travel AND subsequent return to my own country.

Reason for refusal states that there was no proof I could support my stay and that the BHC "couldn't be sure I planned to return."

Apparently there are concerns those of marriageable age will try to get married in the UK and stay there. Though understandable, the BHC seems incapable or more likely just disinterested in performing an evaluation and concluding that a well traveled person has no desire to set up home in their country.

As a result, I've been left with the impression that the officers who work at the BHC would rather simply refuse entry on a bogus basis than do their job properly.
There is no way to contest this decision and the BHC phone number might as well not exist for all the help they provide.

Please be aware of these issues before making your travel plans or you will suffer some major financial loss, just as I did.
