Boris Johnson faced embarrassment last night after his girlfriend was barred from visiting the United States.
Carrie Symonds, 31, applied for a visa to go to America in the next few days as part of her job with a US-based environmental group, but the American authorities have blocked the request.

Brits need visas to visit the US?
They should.
There are far too many Brits that are exactly like the Mayor of London.
Reads as though it may be a work visa and not just a tourist or business meeting visa.
No. She apparently logged into an electronic system which tells you if you will be admitted w/o a visa and she was denied. She visited Somaliland, formerly part of Somalia, which is recognized by the UK but not by the US.
so she has to apply for a formal visa? then after a suitable kerfluffle about the somaliland visit, it would be approved?
Boris Johnson’s book “The Churchill Factor: How One Man Made History” is a delight to read. PM Johnson writes beautifully...don’t know about his lady friends...
Not guilty. Let her in!
She's at least worth a 6 week tourist visa.
But NO GREEN CARD!!
Sounds like all it is—she might need a visa. Big whoop.
That’s Boris Johnson’s girlfriend. He must have a ton of $$ or why would she settle for him? He’s creepy!!
Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac, said Henry Kissinger...
Most likely the Deep State arranged this to embarrass Trump and Johnson.
Definitely not a two-bagger.
Not under normal circumstances but if they have done something like in this case, travel to an area like Somaliland which is considered dodgy by the US government they have to apply for a visa in order to ensure they aren’t dodgy themselves.
