Today of all day I have been in doubt. My feeling was definitely tell me something is isn’t right today.

My son is traveling to U.S. for 1year abroad study in UNC-Chapel Hill

Before this he had an interview at US Embassy in London, getting the visa wasn’t straight forward. Due to fact he a British Pakistani has the name Mohammed.

Pissed off today. The term make America Great, don’t think so.

Kasi arrived on time for continuous flight.
Had to go a U.S. Preclearance Dublin before you broad the next flight.

Make him wait for 2 hours let him go after his flight has departed. Even said to the officers from U.S customs and Border, I have a flight to catch.

That’s asshole said haven’t we all have. They won’t go with out you.

If I was there believe me, I would have give him a fucking mouth full.

Has to paid for next flight and book hotel.

It’s been 26 years since I haven’t step in US.

US Customs border force can suck dick. Being a bully, treating people like this.

If it wasn’t for Britain you’ll be speaking French, wish you did now.

I’m sorry that happened to your son, Mo. I don’t blame you at all for the frustration. I’m glad he’s safe and was only inconvenienced, not harassed or detained further.

@sabergirl

I can tolerate this happening to me. Am use to all kind of grief. Never get put down easily.

But don’t want see my kids go through all this.
I have kept them simple. Follow the rules roam free, live your life happily.

@Kasi damn sorry Mo

[Kasi]

@Oaktavia

️️ no worries homie

[Mizmazzle]

@Kasi that really sucks dude. Is he going to be able to get over here soon?
I know you know, but the government is rarely a reflection of the people. (Not that that makes this issue any easier)

6 January 2021. There are other places for your son to study.

[Kasi]

@Mizmazzle
I calm him down, hope for the best tomorrow. Get on flight to US. Something that’s will stay in his mind, won’t be forgotten.

[goosehd]

Mo, I’m sorry for what has happened.

Also a reminder to everyone not to cross the line regarding forum rules.

Thank you.

[Kasi]

@Bridger
You can’t pick any random place.
International student only one gets to go aboard. For each university. Got to have high grades to meet the criteria.

[Kasi]

@goosehd Dennis heat of the moment. With the US border force.

Not with my American homies.

No line gonna be across.

[goosehd]

@Kasi I know. I just need to stress that the discussion not cross that line. As a father and a person in general, I would be frustrated as well and understand.

I just don’t want to clean up this thread for people that want to steer the conversation one way or another off of the point being made.

[Bridger]

@Kasi I hope it works out well for your son

[Anesthetist]

I’m sorry Mo, this isnt the American way that I know and love. Thoughts and prayers for you & your son.

[jordanscollected]

@Kasi has your son traveled to the US before? He may leave this trouble in the past and fall in love with our food, amazing culture and national parks. You’ll have to fly over here to get him back.

[Kasi]

@Anesthetist
No need to be sorry, there some worthless pigs in this world. Thanks

[Kasi]

@jordanscollected

American women hope he make them fall in love with him, may be a reason to keep coming back.

As for me coming back to America, that’s very slim chance don’t think they will like my first name

@Kasi Sorry your son had to go through all that. When we went to the US last year the customs was a massive pain in the arse, badly organised, slow and incredibly intrusive, even compared to crossing into the Eastern Block in the 80s/90s.
