How could America not want someone like TB? I'll say two things; you aren't the most point-to-point analytical caster in the world, but you are damn entertaining to listen to with the play-by-play... never a dull moment with TotalBiscuit... I also don't know a whole lot about our immigration laws, or visas for that matter... Can someone maybe point me in a direction of what to search for to learn about the issues people like Strelok and TB are having? | ||

What is a Visa? Why is it hard to get on in the US. It sounds like a passport kinda thing. It also sounds like possible terrorism threats. | ||

I have received a thon of european and asian visas and was sure i am aware on how it is done. I knew US visa is hard one but i couldn't know it's THAT hard. The next day after having qualified to NASL, i appealed for visa. It was more then 1 month before NASL I couldn't appeal earlier because to make visa you have to book flights and hotel with paying money. And it's not little sum i have to say. But still to absolutely any other country i could've made 5 visas in a row during this time, To US, even though we together with NASL worked very hard to get it in time, i missed it less then in 1 day. I will get visa in 8-th july 2:00 A.M. California time. NASL starts 8-th july in the afternoon but... sadly my trip to US will take 30 hours so it is absolutely impossible that i get there in time. But for now i have to get US visa for 5 years, so i won't have any problems regarding future NASL/MLG events, which i am going to prove to visiting MLG in July or next one. So since i also have multi European-visa, i hope my visa problems will end at least for my progaming career years =). Too bad, Strelok. Good to know that you've got that visa now. Looking forward to see you make good use of it in MLG Anaheim/Raleigh. :D | ||

I'm sure the people that matter have picked up on this, but this caught my eye. Perhaps the finals need to be made a touch later (even a few days?) than they were this time around, given visa time difficulties. You are not going to book flights/accommodation until you know you have made finals, and thus your visa. Still, unfortunate situation, but well handled given the circumstances. | ||

Never been outside the US? You need a Visa to travel to many other countries - or into the USA. It's particularly tough to get a US visa because the processing is pretty slow. (due to increased security procedures after 2001). Ukraine is not part of the Visa waiver program, unfortunately. edit:Europe, fuck yeah. | ||

i havent read it all but http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1286.html but i would think that you would qualify for first one as an athlete competing for money so you might be able to get a visa as a temporary visitor | ||
