No, but OTRT Was she, in fact, an illegal immigrant? No Did he make her seem involved in human trafficking? No Did he change his wife's name into a different one? No Did he change someone else's name into his wife's? No While correct, the "Yes" on working for immigration might be misleading. Depending on your country of residence, you may not think that Department covers what it does in this case. | ||

Did he change something in a government database? post something somewhere online? change a password? enter a password? So, he performs something sometimes related to immigration, but not always? anything connected with terrorism? otherwise with national security (well, that sees to cover almost anything these days, but let me say "defense from foreign violent aggressors")? something to do with welfare? or other government aid of some type? | ||

No So, he performs something sometimes related to immigration, but not always? See below. anything connected with terrorism? YES otherwise with national security (well, that sees to cover almost anything these days, but let me say "defense from foreign violent aggressors")? Yes, see above. something to do with welfare? No or other government aid of some type? No *Whew* Glad to have that cleared up. Because this is based on a real story, I have information about his role and who he works for...but yes, many of us would not think of "terrorism" having anything to do with immigration. | ||

YES! ***** SPOILER ***** An employee at Britain's Border Agency, apparently soured on his marriage, added his wife's name to the list of terrorists not allowed into the country while she was overseas visiting family in Pakistan.
