#us visa

A Canadian woman says she missed an awards ceremony for her dad in Brazil after being denied entry to the United States because she apparently needed a U.S. visa. Ontario resident Nur detailed her stressful experience dealing with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and United Airlines on TikTok. "I'm a Canadian citizen and I was stopped from entering the U.S., even though there are no requirements for a visa," she explained in the two-part video.

Dear Part of Answer Anon,

I am not sure what to make of your ask, to be honest. There is strictly nothing connecting C and LAX, at this moment in time - and you know I did look in pretty much all the usual places before answering you. So, unless you have inside information - something we will determine, sooner or later -, I am very much tempted to add your ask to the 'exotic Anons' separate pile.

I do not mean any disrespect, but two years and a half (already?) in this madhouse taught me it's best to be skeptical and wait for more concrete confirmation.

We 100% agree, as far as S's businesses are concerned. I think they simply might also find it more practical, with Norouzi being an US citizen and with the clear focus of their distribution on the US market. However, that would mean he must invest a rather significant amount of money (1.05 million USD at a minimum, if not in a specially designated area, but those are rural) with risks unknown, and create a minimum of 10 jobs to qualify for a green card. He would also need two years of conditional permanent residency to make it fully permanent, though.

Who knows, maybe an avenue he might explore?

In the meantime, I see all those criminals getting there illegally. And I am furious.

I am a normal person wishing to live a normal life there, work in a respectful place and with no intentions to hate the country that will accept me, and I most likely won't make it there.

And criminals get what they want.

That's unfair. To say the least.

Wealthy vs. Diverse: The Future of U.S. Immigration Under Trump

Is the Diversity Visa in Danger? Here’s What You Need to Know Trump’s new Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, calls the Diversity Visa Lottery “ridiculous.” But is it? Since 1990, the DV Lottery has been a cornerstone of America’s promise to welcome immigrants from around the world—people who don’t need family ties or job offers to qualify, just a dream and the right basic credentials. Right now, 55,000 green cards are issued through this program each year, bringing in talent and diversity from underrepresented countries. But with Trump's administration questioning its worth, could this program be effectively shut down? Loren Locke unpacks the legal reality: While Congress would have to officially eliminate the program, the administration could slow it to a standstill by delaying immigrant visa processing at the Embassies and adjustment of status at USCIS. Could these green cards be repurposed for wealthy "Gold Card" applicants instead? It’s a legal question worth examining.
