4 years ago, I was denied entry to the UK because I had been staying there without a visa, and had worked part time without a permit. It was a tragic event, and I lost everything and had to come back to the US with just one bag of clothes. Since then, I have rebuilt my life here. Two and a half years ago I applied for a 6 day visa to travel to London to pick up my belongings and to see my friends, but I denied the visa. Since then I have got a new passport and have traveled to three different countries in Europe without any problem.
I would still like to return to London to collect my things (which are still in the basement of a flat) and visit my loved ones. I wonder if it is worth going through the visa process again, or should I just simply take the trip? I have no desire to live in England again, and, as I'd said, 4 years have passed since that time. In my paperwork, I was simply denied entry, NOT banned from visiting - any thoughts on what to do?
