I really dont understand how one person and one sentence got you kicked out of USA, what is the rest of the story, something just doesnt sound right about why you were kicked, could you please explain a little more brother Alen.

      Peace Alen,

      I know the following might sound like a broken record but, have you ever thought that all your "suffering" is a blessing in disguise? You could also be missing out on something that is good cos you're so hung up on what you are not getting. In other words you could be sitting on a gold mine and not know it.. of course these are just my thoughts..

      The following link might be of some help

      http//www.academia-research.com/index.htm

      This will not land you in hollywood, but it might help you make a buck or two. You can also google for BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) companies..

      If all you want is glitz, glamour and a silly story line bro try hollywood (no offence to anyone from the States ), if what you want is to produce a good movie that has substance try anywhere BUT hollywood..

      "All the world's a stage,
      And all the men and women merely players"
      -Shakespeare

      Explore the stage and the players

      Also, have you seen this? http//news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5019116.stm

      Old news but perhaps they might be interested in what you have written..

      Good luck!

        Peace.
        Respectfully.

        Hi, my name is Alen Deomi, i was born in 1978 in Ljubljana, the
        capital of Slovenia, then-republic of Yugoslavia.

        On August 8th, 1999 i arrived at the International Airport in San Francisco
        and right at the US customs i was approached by a cop who offered me a job. I
        did not know this was against the law, so i accepted it, even though, i didn't
        look for a job.
        I was told that i will be deported from the States. I spent one night in jail
        and the next morning they put me on the plane and i arrived home safely.

        On January 5th or 6th, 2006 i went to the US embassy and asked them if i
        needed a passport renewal or an entry visa. The man working there, Slovenian
        citizen, told me no. I asked him again and he replied the same. I said that i
        don't want to arrive to San Francisco and be told that i didn't bring a visa or something. He assured me my passport is okay and gave me back my passport
        after just checking the inside of it, just the first page.

        I went to the travel agency and bought a return ticket to San Francisco. I
        changed flights in Munchen, Germany.

        On January, 9th, 2006 i got on the plane in Ljubljana at 0700 and arrived in
        Munchen an hour later where i got on the plane in the afternoon and arrived at
        San Francisco Int., Airport at 1800. I was checked normally at the US
        customs, took less then a minute but because i wrote on the form that i got in
        the plane, that i have been deported once before, i was redirected to
        Secondary Customs, where i met Homeland Security. They asked me where is my
        entry visa and after i told them that US embassy in my country didn't tell me
        i needed one, they exchanged looks and told me that they will deport me again.

        I asked for asylum, because i was afraid to return to Slovenia and i am still
        afraid to be in this country. I was transfered to San Jose, department of
        correction, main jail. There i spent 26 days and during all this time, i was
        treated nice and with respect. I met immigration judge in San Francisco twice
        and on the first meeting he advized me to get a lawyer. I did and the next
        time i came, lawyer was already there but she did not do that much. She told me that i was illegal alien and that i will be deported.

        The judge said i am not eligible for bail and that i can fight for my case. I
        asked if i can fight for my case from outside, because i have relatives in San
        Francisco, uncle and his two sisters and they all have families, they're from
        Bosnia. Judge told me i cannot fight my case from outside.

        I then said to the judge that i wanna go home. He said that he can send me
        home but then i wouldn't be able to enter the States for the period of 10
        years. He also said that if i cross the border illegaly, that i would be sent
        to federal prison for 20 years. This scared me, so i went home.

        On February, 3rd, 2006 they drove me back to the airport and sent me back
        home. Throughout all this i was treated okay.

        Now i'd like to know why was i deported, why was i given false information at
        US embassy here in Ljubljana, Slovenia, why can't i come to America and can
        this ban be removed or at least reduced?

        I'd also like to know, what did i personally do wrong, because as far as i'm
        concerned, i did nothing, nothing at all, wrong here. I was given false
        information and if i knew that entry visa is something i needed, i would have
        applied for one.

        Peace.

          Salam.

          Sikes, i'm not looking for glamour, glitz, fame, glory, money, etc, etc.....
          I wanna be in the industry where a Muslim such as myself (Quran Alone Follower) can make movies that will help Muslim community, can help people all over the world.

          Arnold Schwarzenegger has $300.000.000 USD. Can you imagine what kinda Muslim would he be, if he accepted Islam, followed just The Quran and spent all his fortune, except what he and his family needs on, let's say .... Africa? Chad - the poorest country in the world.

          Did you know that 25 kids out of 100 in Chad can read and write?
          With movies we can make money and eliminate that shame of human race.
          This is the 21. century, for the Love Of The God people how can we allow this?

          Peace.

            The police officer asked you to do something illegal? Why did you say yes! I'm only guessing that it was not an ordinary job ... was it? if it was just the fact that you're not allowed to work with the type of visa you have and he was offering you a legitimate job, then that is called solicitation and you could fight it in the courts and probably win. The officer cannot coerce otherwise innocent citizens into violations just to invent a charge that would have never taken place to begin with. Actually, its difficult. You may win you may not. Most likely you knew or should have known that with your type of visa you could not seek employment. Not sure honestly. If it was an illegal job such as drug trafficking or something then you're definitely screwed. (Why would you do that, bro?????? and you want to go to u.s. to make good i'm disappointed in you...) Don't expect to go to u.s. if you've been charged with attempt to commit any type of felony, if that was the case.

            Anyways, the world is huge. And quite honestly, there are much nicer places to live than the u.s. You have all of europe right in your backyard and you ignore it ! How beautiful and much more civilized some of these countries are... you're very lucky indeed.

              Salam.

              No, the police officer (at that time i didn't know he was a cop) didn't offer me anything illegal. His precise words were"Hi, looking for work?" My answer"Yeah." Why? I didn't know. How was i suppose to know?

              I'm a Slovenian citizen, we don't need any kind of visas to enter USA unless a person was deported onc ebeforem, then and in case of work or student excahnge program or fiancee visa, then, yes, then you need a visa.

              However, on the form, that a person entering USA receives, i did write that was looking for a job, but, bear in mind that i was not looking for illegal job, i wanted to ask for a permit beforehand.

              I never wanted to enter any country with atempt to do anything wrong, bad or to break that's country's laws, that's ridicilous. I'm not 5, i know right from wrong, i thought the guy was looking for workers and i'm not lazy and i figured on the way to his office i'd be informed how to get a work permit.

              Yes i do have all of Europe. I only speak Bosnian, Sloven and Englsih. Bosnia is a post-war country, Slovenia is trying to mimic USA and England is too far but i'm already talking with some people over there how to get work permits to direct movies and stuff.

              Thank you and good luck.

              Peace.

                Aaaah i see that makes more sense then. well if he just offered you a job i still think you can win. that's a really shady reason to imprison and deport someone! if you actually started working then they would have something on you. but attempt to get a job?!?!?! never heard of it! i say if you want to, you should fight it. i don't know how it would work if you're abroad but perhaps you can hire a lawyer who would speak on your behalf.

                Attempting to get a job when you don't have a work visa may be a violation but it's not a crime. And you can't be charged with attempting to do it. I think they were just being malicious and you definitely have a case. But don't go by my info ask a lawyer.

                And you were still in the airport don't they still have to explain to you what you can and can't do with your type of visa? You were not even given that yet...

                Anyways, God Willing you'll have a better life wherever you are. We could only wish the best for our Bosnian bro )

                  Thank you BOOST, thank you very much, i truily appreciate this. I think i know one lawyer but he's in Arizona. But i will try, God willing.

                  If anyone knows a lawyer out there in San Francisco, i'd be very glad to make email contact with him/her, doesn't matter but i really do wanna fight for my case.

                  Thanks, BOOST. I will pray that The God Almighty Most Powerful reward you with Paradise. With the highest level of Paradise.

                  Peace.

                    Peace bro Alen,

                    Don't misunderstand me, I am not questioning your intentions ) I agree with you about Arni and all that, but is hollywood the only place? (rhetorical question). I still stand by what I said, "Explore the stage and the players". India might be a good venue (just a thought).

                    Anyway if and when (God willing) you become a major director/producer don't forget to remember us 'little people' ;D

                    Good luck!!

                        Peace.

                                There is no such thing called Australian dream, you just get a beautiful life with all citizen equal

                                The american dream is nothing but a big delusion and most americans are money slaves, they do worship money i9n the states, again it was the most horrible years in my life

                                I never planned to migerate to Australia but it seems it was a reward from Allah because while I was in America I decided to leave and leave it to Allah, my main motive was simply, any Rizq from Allah will reach me even if I'm living in Somalia

                                Cheers

                                  Hello all

                                  The Quran actually mentioned those who try to prevent a slave of Allah to pray

                                  9- Have you seen him who forbids
                                  10- A servant when he prays?
                                  11- Have you considered if he were on the right way,
                                  12- Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
                                  13- Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
                                  14- Does he not know that Allah does see?
                                  15- Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead

                                  (9)

                                  (10)

                                  (11)

                                  (12)

                                  (13)

                                  (14)

                                  (15)

                                  -> See "Have you seen him who forbids A servant when he prays?", of course we did see it, Alen just told us that his mother does this to him

                                  -> What Alen needs to do is tell his mother "Have you considered if he (Alen) were on the right way, Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?", Alen mother should also consider that her son "Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?

                                  -> Alen mother may still think that Alen is confused "Have you (a believer) considered if he (Alen mother) gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) (Alen mother) back?

                                  -> Doesn't Alen mother kknow that Allah sees "Does he (Alen mother) not know that Allah does see?"

                                  -> Finally here is the message from Allah to Alen mother "Nay! if he (Alen mother) desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead", i.e. she should allow Alen to worship Allah whenever he wants whereever he wants

                                  Just my friendly 2C as you all know well that I live the Quran and always compare it to the current affairs

                                    Hey Alen

                                    I didn't mean to offend you with my last comment, it was the absolute truth as I see it, and I care about you than you mother really, at the end of the day you should never say a word of contempt to her and always be kind to her as the Quran tells you to do, you just need to make her aware of Allah message

                                    anyway, let's go back to the main subject of movies, I just released this movie last night after a lot of hard work, can you give me your opinion and tell me if I can make it to Bollywood, I'm not interested in Hollywood really, cheers mate

                                    A Bollywood Blockbuster (MA Only)

                                      Peace Alen,

                                      I think i know one lawyer but he's in Arizona. But i will try, God willing.

                                      If anyone knows a lawyer out there in San Francisco, i'd be very glad to make email contact with him/her, doesn't matter but i really do wanna fight for my case.

                                      US immigration matters are under Federal Government, so you can have an immigration attorney from anywhere in USA. He/she doesn't have to be from San Francisco. I gave you information about one of the best immigration attorneys in USA a while back, he is unbelievably good in his field. Judging from your reply to Boost, it seems you haven't even tried him, have you ?

                                        Ahmedbagat, i'm not offended, i also see me and m mother in the verses you gave and no i'm not afraid of my mother but there is no way i can win an argument with her. I could quote Quran day and night but we are told in The Quran, once The God seals someone's heart, that's it.
                                        Also, i opened the link you sent excellent job.

                                        Tanveer i tried to call Dilip Patel but he doesn't answer. I will try again. I would also like if he or you could visit, maybe it would be better and faster if we talked person. Just a suggestion.

                                        Salam.

                                          and how about saving your dear mother from being taken by her forehead by Allah on the JD or even it is a metaphor for something bad to happen in this very life?

                                          Cheers
