More lessons learned from blogging

A friend I work with maintains his blog as a way of keeping in touch with friends and family and to post the odd (excellent) photo or two. Trey is an Austin, Texas native who recently re-applied for his work visa.

His blog was found and checked by immigration officials who then asked (or stated to) him that they didn’t necessarily believe he wanted to stay in the country for the stated length of his visa… All this because he had a comment on his blog about wanting to go to Europe that was posted 6 months ago.

And I thought they rubber stamped Americans who wanted to live here and work in IT.
