Funny Story (Kinda off Topic but still talking about US work Visa's)

I was in the Immigration office at the Airport a few years back when Mike Vernon was trying to get his Work Visa to go to Tampa to work for the Lightning as a Consultant....

The Immigration officer obviously didn't follow hockey as he was going to deny Mike's application due to the fact that he did not have the required 3 years experience as a consultant.

I guess multiple Stanley Cups and years on NHL playing experience wasn't enough.

Once a supervisor had a look it took about 20 minutes to get him approved...
