mumsie-I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what kind of infection (likely parasite) you could have gotten from flinging all those feces that could lead to your particular strain of mental disorder. can't come up with anything yet.

oh, thought of Toxoplasma-of course not known in human feces. are you throwing cat feces by any chance?

There's a difference between a presumption of immigrant intent (applies to everyone) and the rights accorded by a visa class, is all I'm saying. And the only reason I brought up the visa class is you often see people whining about say, derivative spousal visa off of H1-Bs or J-1s, and the reason they're subject to a different process is that they don't incur the same benefits.

No ticket to permanent residency. No right to work. No long stay permitted. That's why Winehouse can get in. She's not on a path to permanent residency and is not likely to immigrate. Ron is.

I have no issues with derivative spouse visas off of employment visas. And yes, most employment visas aren't permanent residence visas but they can often be renewed for years. My complaint deals with the speed that employment visas are processed compared to family based visas. Many of the employment visas can pay for "premium processing", for an extra $1,000 all the processing at USCIS will be completed within 15 business days. If that service were offered for family visas, we could pay the fee and everything from submission of the i-30 to completion at NCV (for ir1 visa path) would be completed in 15 days. However, expedited service is illegal for individuals-but not for those super individuals, corporations. That type of discrimination is ingrained in the current system.

Caladan my friend, wish it was true, but it's BS (not your argument, the whole thing with A.Wino). This woman got the visa a lot of folks get denied because she is a celebrity. I am not talking about immigrant visas; but simple tourist visas being denied on much more blah items than proven and ongoing drug abuse (i.e. AP). People in VJ are not able to visit their dying relatives because of some #######-case argument (as in your name is a little suspicious) and this wreck gets a visa just like that? I'm sorry but it's effed up, from whichever side I look at it.

Peace, L.

According to the NYT, her visa was revoked and she's not permitted to attend. Is this correct, or has something changed?

Seriously. Our government needs to pull the bug out of its butt and get him the visa. I can see needing to rubberstamp a waiver but not it taking a year for someone to look at it.

In any case, Ron needs to record a song, perhaps a blues album. VJ will buy it, and then we will get him in on a celebrity award visa.

Yes!

A formidable idea.

Now that you mention it, I was watching Gandhi.

After I posted I saw how what you were saying could be interpreted another way. I agree with your point.

Gotta go, Jenny McNeil is on.

No. Whinehouse got the visa, but supposedly she didnt have enough titm (48 hrs???) to make it to the grammys, I belive she did perform via satelite??

[DeadPoolX 9]

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand why she was granted this visa after being originally denied. Where's the benefit? What does the U.S. government get out of it?

It's not like she'd be staying and potentially adding to the U.S. economy and they didn't decide to keep her out, so they can't stand on the grounds of "preventing unwanted elements from entering the United States" so I must ask again: where's the benefit? It seems like she was granted a temporary visa for the pure sake of attaining one, with no payoff in at all. That makes no sense whatsoever -- especially in light of her obvious (and self-admitted) drug use.

Bad habit (hits own hand).

All rules apply only to common middle class people. I thought this was already known to everyone...

Imagine my disgust (and steady streams of "####### dude") when I read that our senator expedited the passage of two dogs to the USA. They were adopted by a soldier in Iraq and, when he died in his sleep, his family wanted to adopt the dogs. Yay for the dogs.

Bah for my husband and me.
