On January 2nd 2011, Caitlyn (a US citizen) asked for six weeks' entry into the UK to help a British band record their album. The border officer granted her entry for six months, writing 'SIX MONTHS' in her passport.

On April 6th, Caitlyn was refused entry back into the UK after a brief trip to France, claiming her visa is only valid for the six weeks she asked for and not the six months her passport states. They said they would let her through if she returns with a valid ticket back to America.

Caitlyn returned two days later with a valid ticket back to America, but was again denied; since she had been turned away previously, the border officer concluded that she poses "a significant risk" to the United Kingdom.

We have started this petition to prove she is not.

Caitlyn is currently stranded in Paris with no way of retrieving her things in London. She owns property in the US which she is paying a mortgage on, so she fully intends to return to her home country once her leave to stay has expired. We, the undersigned, simply hope to convince the British border control officers in France to honour their original agreement to let Caitlyn stay for the remainder of her six month visa, as is stated in her passport.
