I was looking at *Urgent* American citizen studying in the UK. Flight leaves tomorrow, visa in processing and no biometrics? and wondered... maybe that should be auto-moved to expats instead of just being closed and the OP told to repost the question on expats?

Not sure if duplicate or related.– JoErNanO ModSep 8, 2015 at 17:34

2I personally think that question is fine here, he's not asking about being an expat, he's asking about entering as a tourist. shrug.– Mark MayoSep 8, 2015 at 23:40

@MarkMayo That's debatable, that's about travelling to the UK in any case but the OP does not intend to actually visit as a tourist and return to the US, only to enter (ostensibly as a visitor) and start his studies. He is even asking about completing the long-stay visa formalities in the UK (the bit about biometrics).– RelaxedSep 9, 2015 at 7:07

@Relaxed ah, good point. yeah it's a bit in both camps, can see why it was closed.– Mark MayoSep 9, 2015 at 8:40

^ another reason (imo) that travel and expats should be merged– EdmundYeung99Sep 10, 2015 at 22:37

The current situation is far from ideal because many posters will be tempted to cross-post in the meantime and we sometimes end up with two identical questions on expats but I believe this is not possible (on a technical level) as long as expats is in beta. The only solution is to flag the question and wait for a moderator to take care of it.
I think we discussed this some time ago, incidentally, but I can't find where.

Also, auto-migration to sites in beta is generally done done (I read this as a 'rule' somewhere, can't find it now) Sep 8, 2015 at 23:39
