Too bad. Would have been nice to see you do well in the United States, Strelok.. :-) I hope you get your problems solved and are on good grounds with NASL

One thing the u.s does well is that they make it almost impossible for outsiders to get into the country.
Is Idra the T.O of starcraft?

By experience i know they select the meanest, sometimes racist ppl to examine visa cases. If you tell them you need the visa in 1 month max, they will yell at you, ask you whether you want the visa or not, and to stfu if you really want it. They don't give a shit if you've got to make a conference at the united nations, or take oral exams for a scholarship they offered to you (!). However, they do give a shit about how you look like, your origins, etc. It doesn't matter if the visa's ready a week before. They won't give it to you earlier (while they are well aware of the date of the tournament and flight), coz you have to learn your place.

HuK saying he didn't understand why he had to make a visa for turkey while he's american made me laugh. It's only natural some countries will throw the same bullshit at you that you throw at them. And well, at least in the case of Turkey, he got it instantly. They only wanted their money back.

Sorry that happened to you Strelok =( Show Dimaga how to get a visa tho, would love to see at MLG too ^^

I find it ironic that US considers itself a country of immgrants and immigration as one of its biggest strengths but it is the hardest country in the world to get a visa to visit - dont even think about wanting to live there.

I love it how (P)NightEnD was not invited into NASL because "he didn't gave proof that he can get VISA" even that it's much easyer for Romanians to get US VISA.

And now this happens.

Sorry for Strelock. I really wanted to see him play in the finals. In NASL he proved to be pretty fun to watch.

If your story is true, then nobody will blame you because of it.

The reason was explained in the other thread about it.

a shame this happens, Strelok seemed to be so professional during the league.
At the top of the game, we play by diferent rules.

I googled before if i need VISA for vacation in the US (Providence finals) and some said nothing was needed.. Luckily I saw this otherwise I'd be in the same position as you Strelok.

Head up Strelok.

It's not only difficult for people from eastern europe. But no problem, need to wait a bit. The USA is almost broke. Soon they need every $ and then i think it's gonna be a lot of easier and faster to travel there.

Did you have to get a VISA ? I was in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago and all I had to fill was a ESTA application and I had no problem at all getting one.

that sucks :/ I personally didn't know it was that hard to get one to come to 'Merica. Only realizing this after hearing about all these problems people have been having trying to get here for tournaments.
Had an idea that combines the intimate moment of delivering babies with Crazy Taxi last night. Can emotional arcade style gaming work?
