achilles Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 So? Big deal Usman. Stop acting like people from your birth and adopted countries.
achilles Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 According to some media outlets, he LIED/left birth country field BLANK on the form. So he had this coming. I'm happy that my embassy people are vigilant. Keep it up guys.
ganeshran Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Let the immigration do their job and verify Khwaja and family's history. No offense but headley seemed a safe bet with US Citizenship as well /thread.

Stuge Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Let the immigration do their job and verify Khwaja and family's history. No offense but headley seemed a safe bet with US Citizenship as well yes ,thats one of the reason why they take more time to give visa to pakistnai expats . between A very close friend of mine, who's friend(who is a British citizen [not a pak expat] was denied Visa of India because he visited Pakistan in the recent past (specially few particular places in pak).I know this may sound dumb ,but govt is getting more cautious these days . So, just in case you want to visit both pak and india .visit India first, then pak :)
Blue Panther Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 who knows may be usman khawaja wants to come to india to monitor and spy cricket stadiums like david headley did.
Cricketics Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 I have a friend who was MVP in the 2011 American College cricket tournament. The award he got after winning MVP was a visit to India and to stay with Rajasthan Royal team in IPL. He was denied Indian visa too. He's american citizen but because he was born in pakistan and li ved aobut 10-12 years there, hence.
Bumper Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Wait, what's the big deal here again? When going to Australia they have their own stringent criteria of not bringing in foreign seeds/plants/foods etc that would impact their local ecology. India has been targetted by Pakistan born terrorists and terrorist groups before so the same stringent checks needs to be carried out. Indian cricketers had to be stopped in New Zealand to check their boots for foreign soil/seeds in our tour there because no exceptions could/should be made. Did you hear Indian players whining/complaining about it? - He's lying when he says it has been refused. CA is saying that there's a stoppage, not a refusal and is confident of getting it sorted out. It just sounds like Usman expects star treatment just because he's a cricketer and is butt-hurt because he's not getting it. What a crybaby. Exactly! Well put, Fontaine. There are cases of Indian diplomats being pulled up for searches in the US. Not sure what's the big deal here. I mean, here is a country whose institutions support terrorism against India unanimously & we expect its citizens to be awarded rights on a platter to enter India ? Don't care who Usman Khwaja or Bhoja is. If you were born in Pakistan and want to enter India, you will be rectal scanned. If you dont like it, just dont go there! In contrast, have you ever seen any cricketers of Indian origin b.itchin about not being able to enter Pakistan ? They are all happy that they could live a bit longer, aren't they ? Usman Khwaja needs to develop the same level of maturity.

jonas10 Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Is there any country on earth that respect the green passport?
moumotta Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 It would have helped if Khawaja saab checked this before applying A minimum of 45 days but could take more time Nationals of Pakistan or any applicant (irrespective of current nationality) who previously held Pakistani nationality. http://www.vfs-in-au.net/tourist_process.html
Ultimate_Game Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 SYDNEY - Pakistan-born Australian batsman Usman Khawaja on Tuesday said he was being refused a visa into India for next month's Champions League Twenty20 tournament because of his country of birth. Khawaja vented his anger on social media site Twitter, saying India's visa department "need to sort their issues out". "Refusing to let me travel to India as an Australian, because I wasn't born here. Wow," wrote the 24-year-old. In an exchange with his Portuguese-born New South Wales team-mate Moises Henriques, Khawaja said it "wasn't that I wasn't born here but where I was, brother". Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed that Khawaja's visa had been held up by officials at the Indian High Commission (embassy) but said they were confident of resolving the issue before the tournament. "There has been a stoppage in the system at the Indian High Commission in Australia with Usman's application," CA spokesman Philip Pope told AFP. "Cricket NSW and Cricket Australia are seeking to understand the detail behind the stoppage with our colleagues at the Indian High Commission." Pope said the cricketing body had a long-standing relationship with the Indian mission and "we generally find that we resolve our issues mutually, so we'll work through this once we've understood the detail". "I can't give you a timeline of when it will be resolved, but I'm confident given our history and our relationship that we will resolve this as soon as possible," he said. Khawaja, the first Muslim to wear the baggy green for Australia and also a qualified pilot, is on the 20-man long list for the NSW Twenty20 side, of which 15 will ultimately be sent. The promising young left-hander made his Test debut for Australia in the fifth match of the Ashes series in Sydney in January, signing with Derbyshire later that month for the English domestic season. http://www.pakistantoday.com.pk/2011...khawajas-visa/ Explain this. Two words - David Headley (or Dawood Gilani). Now explain that. I don't begrudge Indian authorities for performing due diligence and making absolutely sure, especially after 26/11.
EnterTheVoid Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 You lot are acting as if Usman is carrying a bomb in his backpack :facepalm:
moumotta Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Loks like visa has been granted now. Let us see if the news breaks first on twitter.
