As an American, your process of getting a visa is basically assured. That's not the case for many nationalities where there's a good chance your application will be rejected multiple times before to get a visa.

The reason I mentioned this was because for me it's actually not.

I am persona non grata with UKVI apparently (I've been turned away at the border when I didn't have a visa), so I always apply for a visa in advance now.

It's annoying but it's not the deal-breaker people in this thread seem to think it is.
