nautilus60 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 i remeber reading that he was banned, but what exactly happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addyk Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 basically entered the country (hes a canadian resident) without a work permit for a gig. which nowadays is a big no no. he got banned from settin foot on good ol US soil for the next 5 years. but the 5 years is up now and hes looking for gigs again heres jays take on what exactly happened"I have been djing in the USA for long time without a visa, and most djs I know go there without a visa, because the visa seems to be very hard to get and the factI used to only play once in a while down there didn’t justify my needing to shell outthe cash for it. But as of lately I have been down there more and more, as my records are doingwell and people wanna see me play, and I had also intended to get the visafor the new year. Since Seattle is only a 2 hour drive from where I live myself and my friend weredriving down, and we got stopped at the US customs where they asked us toreport to immigration. From there they searched the car and found the wax.I think what tipped them off is that they looked at my passport full of workvisas for many other countries and so many entry stamps for the US recentlyand not one US work visa. I had also lied and said I was going to see a show at aclub in Seattle, and the records (upon asked) belonged to my friends roommatewho she had borrowed the car from. At that point they had me pegged and knewI was lying. They said don’t lie to us about this, we think you are a dj named JAY TRIPWIRE(I was nailed) and what are you really doing. I told them that I was going todo an instore appearance at a local store down there to promote my music.From there they called the promoter who told them he was paying me (why he toldthem that ill never understand), i was written up and banned for 5 years."
