Wait why are you so ignorant after this has been explained many times earlier in the thread An issue where I think iem can be blamed for is if Jim's early matches were delayed. In that case he isn't responsible for having to leave for the appointment and iem should let him play. | ||

Blizzard doesnt get to go in to the embassy and say "hey, USCIS, stop following the law, because this dude wants to play video games in 'merica." this is the weirdest thread. of course they can't say 'stop the following' law... since there is no law to stop. there is no law that stipulate that "capricious and random decision shall be made wrt the application of chinese e-sport athlete." And guess what, as was said before, with enough money and the right people to give it too, you'd get anything from the USCIS. Why do you thing so many people tout the merit of 'lobbying'... as if institutionalized corruption was something to be proud about.... | ||

I don't think you are fully grasping what people are talking about here. | ||

Somehow that will be blamed on Blizzard. Someone is working on the post right now. | ||

It said they tried getting the visa just one month ago. America isn't the easiest country to gain access too, need more than one month of time. Especially when your from a communist country... Did you even bother to read at least _some_ of this thread ? you CANNOT GET an appointment BEFORE you 1/ Qualify 2/ get an invite letter from the organizer (that is why 1/ is 1/), 3/ have your plane ticket (and you get screwed once they reject your application) 4/ have paid $160 for the B-visa appointment (non refundable) -- which is a _lot_ btw: see http://www.worldsalaries.org/china.shtml Especially when your from a communist country... What does has to do with anything ? beside China is more capitalistic than the US these days, which is incidentally why the US are so upset... they are no so fond at being beaten at their own game.... | ||

Yes, the US denied Jim's visa request because they are mad at China for being better capitalists than they are. This makes perfect sense. | ||

Your one of those people who immediately comes into a thread, blames Blizzard and leaves. They can't do anything about this, its a Visa issue that is out of their control entirely. | ||

Somehow everything possibly that could go wrong for him goes wrong, pretty much halting the entire hype without him actually losing a match. Sigh  Yeah I was watching him in WCS AM and he was seriously amazing, yet very few people seemed to know about him really--he'd been around before, but recently he's been emerging as a dominant player. Right now it definitely seems like he's on the cusp of getting to that next level :\ hope they can let him play it out, as wax was saying. | ||

Canada would be a fine choice. NASL is the only org that has experience holding a major SC2 event in Canada, too  And guess who is going to be running WCS Season 2 RO8 onwards and Season 3...? #cometoYVR | ||

Should? no... but some people says that nothing _could_ be done... other use the euphemism 'lobby'... which is indeed just a nicer word for 'bribe'. so let's call a spade a spade. and yes if you 'lobby' the right set of congressman and/or senator, you could get Jim a visa... there is absolutely no doubt about it... in fact, the person in the embassy would have magically found him perfectly suitable for entry.... no question asked. | ||
