Dennis Orcullo banned from USA for five years

I just want to clarify that I don't have all the answers. I'm no immigration expert. I do know what happened to Dennis though. He is okay and on his way home. I'm getting educated now on the best way to deal with this. It looks like there may be hope for a reduction in time but it could also be a long process in making that happen. Yes, it's a mess that probably could have been avoided, but it's not the end of the world. We just have to deal with it from here. Lord knows I've made my share of mistakes. The hard ones are the ones we learn from.

One other thing. THANK YOU to everybody who's showed concern for Dennis and the people who have offered constructive advice both on here and privately.
 
When anybody breaks the laws of another country, there should be consequences.
I don’t disagree.

I travel a lot internationally. I’ve hit 43 countries in my life. Probably 23-25 in the last 7 years. I usually stay 10-30 days when I go somewhere.

I always play by their rules. Never had a problem. Few places I could feel the American hate-but still never a issue.

Know the rules, follow them. Not a problem

Fatboy

I remember that one incident. We’ll keep that off the air. Point is you resolved that. I’m certain you’ll resolve this as well. Your a true friend to Denis and know your way around there & here. I still like the corona excuse. But more important he has you in his corner.

Thanks Jay,

Eric 😀
 
It's darkly funny seeing the same crew that has been beating the drum for more immigration restrictions now get all pissy when those restrictions start... you know... restricting people from being here.
And it's just as funny when the crew, that is totally OK with the stream of illegals crossing the border, starts spouting off with "well those are the rules. He knew about them."
 
Follow the Law.

Everybody coming in knows when their visa expires.

Is there a record of him trying to obtain an extension?



Well you ask though questions, I think your chances of getting truthful answer are slim.

People tend to take sides, and stand ground.

This thread has gone on a long time, maybe too long.

Sounds like Dennis could be victim of not paying attention to his Visa expiration date or dates. Or policies on visiting the USA on Visa.

Dennis blew it, got caught in system, now is banned from USA.

I am sure today at some airport in the use 50 or more other people got the same treatment, and no one cares.

I'm sure more will come out as the process goes on and information leaks, I wasn't handling his travel arrangements though.

That’s true he made a huge mistake.

I’ll bet the under 5 years.


let’s put a line on this and gambol!!!!

Well I do not gamble on what government agencies can, will, shall do.

Twenty years and billions of dollar on a misadventure called Afganistan shows how government works?

But seeing as Dennis is just a pool player of little status, or political connection we know of.

I would think if he is wealthy try a good lawyer, but that could be a lot of 💸💰 with slim chance of ban removal.

Option two is visit places in the next five years where you free to visit to play pool.
 
The other consideration is that there is no guarantee that even if he hadn't overstayed the last time that he would be granted a visa to come back again. You have to show a certain wealth to have multi entry visa status. Co signers generally don't get it done.

Any more than the workers I would like to come in for my auto shop will be allowed in.

Our immigration laws and their sometimes random and selective application leave a lot to be desired. In case no one has noticed.

Well the deal is if you do not like a law there are way to change, improve, or remove law from books.

The problem is that process is it is normally slow, take lobbying, time, and money to bring about change.
 
9/11 was the impetus behind a lot of he draconian immigration/travel laws we see now. I had a friend who traveled a ton and after 9/11 he cut way back. He said the hassle got to the point he couldn't fade all the bullshit.
 
Honestly I go easy on him. 10 years ago he was pretty cool. I think age has kicked in.

I noticed that after being gone from here for 7 years. People change. I fixed my writing a bit. Cowboy got mad. Who knows? In any event I don’t wish bad on him. I hope he finds happiness and peace

Best
Fatboy😀
I kinda like him too, but sometimes ignore is necessary lol
