First of all. I am guilty. I am guilty that i didn't read the information about the speciality of american visa before tournament. 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 =).

Sadly, that's the issue with America.

Obtaining a visa to visit, let alone to live and work in the United States is a bitch to put it bluntly.

Sorry to hear you'd have to miss NASL because of this, but good luck to you in future tourneys.

Sucks man! It's a huge shame that stuff like this gets in the way for E-sports.

I feel for you, hope you can show your strength at MLG instead!

What's the big deal? Get into the planes wheel well, parachute down to the ocean, inflate your raft and paddle to land. From there it's as easy as carjacking an old lady and winning the tourney.

yeah, i feel you man, i broke my teeth on US immigration as well trying to get a visa for my wife, she's from the philippines, and even married with an EU citizen + bank statement and all the stuff, she got denied, reason? "Social background not strong enough", and no refund for the visa application fee.
It was in 2008, I guess by now it must be worst, it's their damn "homeland security", completely worthless.

Not the first person to be screwed over by US visa rules and you will not be that last. But it's good that you got a 5 year visa for the future at least.

Sucks that you won't make the NASL. At least you won't have future issues for a while now.

Good luck at MLG!

Goo dluck to you in the future, Strelok; in my opinion, you were one of the guys in NaSL who prepared so well you played above your normal potential. Its too bad after all that serious preparation, you couldn't reap the benefits!
You loved me as a loser but now you're worried that I just might win. -L. Cohen
