TUESDAY 25th NOVEMBER

BORDER CONTROL

I got back in! No problem. I shouldn't have worried. If you are an alien that is trying to stay in the USA as much as possible - e.g. job hunting, like myself here are a few ideas that you could try (of course, (esp. if you're a government person reading this) I never endorse breaking of any US laws - the following is just part of my a humorous/tongue in cheek blog)

WAYS TO MAKE GETTING THROUGH US IMMIGRATION QUICKER
* Don't outstay your tourist visa. Data in Immigration databases is now more complete and accessible to the Immigrationb bods. They'll take you into the little room and give you hell.
* Between visits to the US - try to stay away for as long as possible
* Don't go to Canada or Mexico for a weekend trip thinking you'll renew the visa when you come back. You could get sent home leaving your possessions in Miami and your girlfriend in LA
* Have a job in your home country that you'll, of course, need to return to in a week, sir
* Run your own business so you can visit your customers in New York
* Fly on a US airline vs. Air India or from somewhere where Bush isn't too familiar with right now
* Be as nice as hell to the Immigration person
* Explain that you come to America a lot becuase you have a girlfriend / boyfriend
* Don't have a criminal record in your home country
* Coming from the country that is America's 'closest friend' may help - but who knows whether the Latino Immigration Officer really agrees.

So basically: work within the rules - never do anything illegal.
