Humor: x-y-z of nonimmigrant visa :-):-):-)Compandium to A-B-C-D of US VISA 

 		X-Y-Z of nonimmigrant visa

_________________________________________________________________________

These are some classifications that state department/INS wanted to put
in the last immigration bill. Unfortunetly they didn't succeed.

After the short description of the category I have included the level
of difficulty one might encounter in applying under that category and what
one might do to improve one's chances.(Difficult rating of 0 means 'automatic'
approval and 10 means very very difficult {in my humble opinion}).

For classifications A to R (approved in the bill) see the compendium article
A-B-C-D of nonimmigrant visa.


T : For tacky people
  
  T-1	For really tacky people who will come to US and buy up all the
  	surplus of 'elvis on the velvet paintings'.
  T-2   For individuals who promise to put a pink flamingo and a plastic
  	deer on their lawn for two years prior to applying and 2 years
  	after applying for the visa
  T-3   Special category for the designers of Golf outfits.
  T-4   spouses/children of T-1/2/3. Surprisingly  people who qualify
  	for T visa don't have spouses or childrens.
  		Level of difficulty : varies. If you shop at K-mart or Sears
  		get that polyster suit for the interview. 

U : For Yuppie couples

  U-1 In mid eighties it was determined that some upwardly mobile groups
      are under represented. If you are Upwardly moblile Punjabi (Puppy)
      or upwardly mobile Gujrati (Guppy) you may be eligible.
      However if you are upwadly mobile Delhite (Duppy) Tough luck...
  U-2 Yah.. You too......

V : For genuine aliens
  	Have you ever wondered what kind of visa superman is on? When
  	he flies around don't you think he has to stop at the immigration
  	counter and show his passport?

  	INS was upset that none of the movies SupermanI,II,III clarified
  	superman and his friends immigration status, So they created V category.

  V-1 For aliens with special powers 
  V-2 for UFO
If you have horns, or are green or have web between your toes, you are eligible.
Only thing is that you have to apply either at the consulate on space probe
Voyeger or the embassy on Mars.
Level of difficulty  V-1 0
  	             V-2 10
  		    
W :  Nobody at INS could recite comlete alphabets. I think they just
     forgot W.

X :

  There are three category
  X
  XX
  XXX
Its sort of self explanatory. Let me just say this. If Pee-Wee wasn't an
american citizen and he had to apply for nonimmigrant visa he would qualify
under XX.

Y :  Why ask Y, Just try bud dry....

  Y-1 reserved for drunk captains of supertankers (Hazelwood would qualify)
  Y-2 for drunk pilots of (especially Northwest airlines)

Slurring speech and inability of walking straight is a big plus.

Z : For spies and terrorists

  Z-1  Spies of friendly countries
  Z-2  Spies of enemy countries
  Z-3  Beautiful sidecicks of real spies
