This is really sad - it always sucks when issues like this arise. I hope a solution can be found for Violet in time for the next WCS AM.

I don't hate americans, but I do really dislike this system

The visa system in EU countries isn't any more lenient, you know.

Violet's problem is that he was living in the US last year without actually having residence and it seems to have caught up to him.

I know, but it isn't a problem right this second. If this was about Violet not being able to play in WCS EU because of visa issues, I would have been just as pissed. It's just kind of sad.

Yeah the US visa system is kind of fucked up. I think that immigration control is important, but we consistently deny people for visas that want to come to the US because they already have opportunities available. That's really dumb because it means we're basically keeping skilled workers out of our own economy, which is bad in the long run.

Anyway, sucks for violet, I was looking forward to seeing him do well in this league. I know he's really dedicated but he always seems to get shuffled right when he starts to get good :/

Thanks for bashing me, an American who has nothing to do with Violet's visa problems. Asshole.


This is a case where you might want to read what's in the spoilers.

Do you have any more information on that?

Your cute spoiler attempt doesn't change the fact that your nationality bashing, which is *suppose* to be against the rules here.
