Thanks for clarification. Depending on your country of origin and how much 'power' your passport has, the outcome may also vary. Austria for example is part of the Visa Waiver Program and therefore, our athletes don't need to apply for a B-1 visa. They just enter the U.S. as Business visitors. Never heard of any problems about how often they travel to the U.S. I know of some players who travel to the U.S. for a couple of events, but between events they get back home.
 
Who's paying for all the return trips for these people?
The feds really have a deep pocket.

Meanwhile, the current regime has left the entire Southern border open to whomever wants to come across with whatever contraband they can carry.

Maybe if they were carrying in pool cues they would do something about it.

Hell, not just let them in but apparently used unmarked airliners to fly them to various places around the country.

All of those examples of others being allowed, while some are not, shows that it is NOT about health, safety, fairness, liberty, business dealings, or any other thing but control.

How are folks supposed to earn a living when that is made illegal, for nothing more than some micro-tyrant's bad day at the airport?

I wonder if Pat F was helping his entrants get the correct visas over the years. I’m betting yes. That guy knows how to cross his T’s.

tend to agree but if one is coming here to work there are visa's which will avoid the problems. pro pool players need a P1 in most cases. good for five yrs with a 5yr renewal for a 10yr total.

So Robocop goes down. Dildo Diamond gets pinched. Who next? Roberto Gomez better watch his back. They going to do more than tug on Superman's cape.

Sounds like another job for Roy Francisco, Mike Hoang, Jay Helfert, Carlos Sanchez, Phil MMP, Joseph Long, Doug Beasley, Carl Bolm and Co. I see another fund raiser in the future.

The US States borders are, SO FAR, still free to cross without showing one's papers.

When they're not, folks might not like being sent back to the State they are trying to leave.

Liberty isn't a fuzzy wuzzy concept to be spoken of in classrooms; it is a real process required to live.

Will never happen. Surely you're not a 'tin-foil hatter' are you? I hear shit like this from people who listen to A.Jones and other conspiracy lovers.

According to your immigration law buddies, are DO and DD not allowed to apply for the correct Visa until their ban is lifted? I mean, if they apply for a P-1 and are granted one, would they be able to travel to the US prior to the expiration of their non entry status?

And when it does, will you change your tune?

It's a setup question, btw.

Didn't ask that specific question. Getting a ban reduced/overturned is not easy. Sometimes if the said visa holder is the child of a US citizen/GC holder these bans are sometimes overturned. If the holder is just a non-immigrant traveler/visitor then overturning bans is often impossible. Its a mess. To quote W. Zevon its all about 'lawyers, guns, and money'.;)

1. they must have thought it was illegal, they made the call and banned him for 5 years. 2. The other comment was about FEDOR and I was clearly speaking in general at that point. 3. check your pm.s

jury is still out on that fedor one, i doubt it's possible for him to dodge the russkij military service unless he gets exempted, it certainly wasn't possible for ruslan chinakhov who was a junior world champion at the time
