Hi, (speaking for myself) On Tue, Aug 14, 2018 at 03:36:37PM -0400, Andrew G.

Lots of pages of various kinds seem quite clear, and some contradict others. Moreover, they are often written from the POV of someone with one or another nationality. This problem is true even for places we go regularly. For instance, our Czech colleagues had a series of bizarre (and in my opinion unjustifiable) visa interactions with the Government of Canada some years ago, even though that country (my home) is reputed to have relatively friendly immigration practices compared to other North American countries. I've no idea whether that got any better, but I think there is reason to suppose it might get worse for others. As near as I can tell, there is nothing we collectively can do about this: we each need to be aware of the immigration realities affecting us. The IAD and Secretariat and all of IASA can do as much as it likes to try to get information it knows, but IASA cannot and should not offer legal advice to any of us. We all must evaluate our respective situations and make the determination best in each case. Best regards, A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
