Khan 'Visa Refusal nothing to do with driving offences but the name Khan'

[D-MiZe]

Fair enough if Joe Khan ( not bloggs, like it? ) came into America. But this is Amir Khan, a professional boxer who's got a reputation.

Surely someone would realise who he was?

US Embassy are pricks. My last name is Khan too, and they wouldn't let my 3 year old cosine (at the time) leave the state cuz he was supposedly on some sort of list

lol wow man that is MESSED UP. Shows you how ******ed Americans are...

Khan's not a name in America despite what Wazza tells you.

[Dick Buffman]

None of this would be an issue if he just changed his name to Amir Con?

His name is currently too exotic for his own good.

Khan doesn't need to be a big name for people to know who he is. He's clearly not a threat ffs.

[daggum]

if khan just said he was the dude from slumdog millionaire they would have let him in no questions asked. telling the authorities he's a fighter was a bad idea.

says u. u think the government cares what joe schmoe from boxingscene says???not really...after 9/11, they dnt take any chances. ive seen ppl with regular last names get wait listed for months just because of the places theyve traveled to.

He could have been strapped with a bomb.

lol, and u seriously think that's the point here? why the **** was a three year old boy on a terror list in the first place? and why would anyone think amir khan was a *********? have people in the US seen his dad at his fights? he is the proudest brit in the building lol, even wears a union jack suit ffs. amir has also been vocally patriotic. they are extremely westernised people and dont deserve this ridiculous scrutiny when it is so obviously bull****. this whole situation is very silly...

Thank you for being honest. You are better than the ******s who insist that America holds no prejudice and is just etc.

Whoever said that?

The United States is very prejudice. As are a lot of countries.

However its ridiculous to insinuate he was left out on the grounds of racism. He has speeding offenses and he broke some dudes arm hitting him with a car.

I'd understand if he didn't have any kind of record at all, but there's actually grounds to not let him into the country with those minor offenses
