Lily Allen Slams US Immigration
Filed Under Immigration News
British pop singer Lily Allen has publically expressed her anger at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services for denying her a work visa, a situation which resulted in the cancellation of her US tour.
The young star was questioned by US immigration officials over an incident last year (06) in London when she was arrested for assaulting a photographer.
Allen was performing at the V Festival (August 18-19) in Chelmsford, England when she took the opportunity to speak out about the visa denial.
Allen said, "I’ve been banned from America. That’s nice. Oh well, that means I can’t go back there. Good. Obviously I’m really sad I can’t do my US tour. The shame is on you, the US Immigration Service."
