Visa review

Kaieteur News – For now, all I have is a handful of questions. I think they have bearing, particularly when the temperature of the local environment is taken. Where did this “visa review” development originate from: official Guyana or the U.S? It has to be one of the two places, which then raises a next question. What are the grounds for Justice Persaud’s “visa review”? Before proceeding, I clear the air. A U.S. visa is a benefit, not an entitlement. It can be rescinded without any reason given, other than bland, vague sections of U.S. law cited.

Did his judicial rulings send some powerful people here or in the U.S. crazy? That is, those decisions interfered with some carefully laid plans and timelines.
