As one can expect, getting the correct Visa for a visit to the USA can be a bit confusing. One of our studio mates, a resident named Bruce Montecombroux from Canada, made it here just fine, but after taking a brief sojourn to Canada for a show opening, he was denied return into this country due to the lack of a Visa which technically he cannot get. His first entry went just fine, and then they decided to demand a J-Type Visa which requires a host institution, which the Vermont Studio Center cannot actually provide, so in short, Bruce may not get back into the states. Another Canadian, whom I'll leave unnamed, though we find him very earnest for those of you who know him, is here with no Visa. I don't understand how this works, but if you feel compelled, write Senator Leahy of Vermont and help speed up this process of getting Bruce back. Our studio just isn't functioning the same way without the guy.
