Roughly 10 months ago I began the arduous process of applying for a US Work VISA in order to expand my professional wrestling events into the United States. In that time I have met with delay after delay. Some warranted, and others not.
While I can certainly understand in today's questionable economy (certainly not going to open up the can of worms about WHY the US economy is in the sorry state it's in coughcough-GoldmanAndSachs-coughcough) because as I am well aware no one south of the 49th paralell gives a Tinker's Damn about what us Canucks think aboot anything.
All I do know if that it is a ridiculously difficult process to go through as an independant. I have no doubt that - were I to have a prominent wrestling office in the USA helping sponsor me over the border that this would have been resolved within 6 to 8 weeks.
That said, I am now about to begin a second application - at the request of the USA Consulate because it is their belief that my request may have gotten "lost in the shuffle" and a "fresh request may be more likely to be looked at in a timely fashion."
Yay bureaucracy.
