    no, not as such, but america won't see it like that, they'll just see it as a person with a pakistani background, and therfore are more vigilante to his visa application.

    GBP should of sorted this out well in advance, this is now becoming to close to the fight. Khan has a 6 hour flight to New York and needs a least a 7 days for jet lag and settle in NY.

    He was convicted of careless driving. That is a criminal offence.

    Good. It's about time our Government starts being proactive in protecting our citizens. :thumbsup

    Maybe Kahn should've left earlier for his training? Either way Paulie's going to beat the **** outta him. :deal

    There are some things more important than boxing and National Security is one of them. Amir had every opportunity to apply sooner than he did.
