Appendix 7:
Text of the Immigration Officer's Report
I do recall the above named [Mr Jose Gasparo] who
arrived at Stansted on 20/02/03. He was travelling with a GBR
national who he stated was his boss. The passenger presented his
Brazilian passport which held an expired student stamp, although
I do not recall when this expired. The passenger stated he wished
to study further in the UK, however, he only held an enrolment
letter from a school but was unable to provide any evidence of
funding to prove he could maintain and accommodate himself. He
stated that he had paid for the course fees, however, when asked
to produce a receipt, he was unable to do so. I then recall asking
how many hours per week he worked and his GBR boss replied that
he worked 20 hours, however, I cannot recall with any certainty
the nature of the work. The passenger stated that once he had
completed his further studies in the UK, he would return to Brazil
in order to complete his university course.
When I explained that I was unable to grant entry
to the passenger for the duration of his course due to the lack
of evidence provided, I recall having to explain this several
times to the passenger and his boss as his boss in particular
was reluctant to accept this. I explained that I would stamp the
passenger's passport for two months on a code two which would
enable him to get his paperwork in order and apply to the Home
Office for an extension of his student stamp.
