    Elvis impersonator to become legal citizen

    The ridiculous things our government does wasting yours and my tax money trying to decide if a foreign Elvis impersonator of mediocre talent should be welcome with open arms as an "American Citizen"; from what the following document says, he may be so bad that Bush will have to pardon him:

    This petition seeks to classify the petitioner as an alien with
    extraordinary ability as an Elvis Presley impersonator; The
    regulation at 8 C.F.R. 204.5(h) (3) indicates that an alien can
    establish sustained national or international acclaim through
    evidence of a one-time achievement (that is, a major, international
    recognized award). Barring the alien's receipt of such an award,
    the regulation outlines ten criteria, at least three of which must
    be satisfied for an alien to establish the sustained 'acclaim
    necessary to qualify as an alien of extraordinary ability. The
    petitioner has submitted evidence which, he claims, meets the
    following criteria.
    ,
    Documentation of the alien's receipt of lesser nationally
    internationally recognized prizes or awards for excellence
    the field of endeavor. I or in that the petitioner received the
    This is the highest International Award available in the
    Industry." .. The petitioner submits three out-of-focus
    photographs of an Elvis Presley figurine, approximately five to six
    inches tall, which is mounted on a square base bearing an illegible
    two-word inscription (possibly the name "Elvis Presley"). 'On each
    of the photographs the petitioner has written "First Prize 1- Paris
    - 1996."
    These photographs establish, at most, the petitioner's
    possession of an Elvis Presley figurine.

    An uncertified translation of a May 1996 newspaper 'article
    describes the contest at which the petitioner won the above prize.
    There is no evidence that first prize in the competition :."is the
    highest International Award available in this industry" as counsel
    claims. Other documents in the record suggest that the competition
    was held in conjunction with the 31st anniversary of a club\with an
    Elvis Presley theme.

    Documentation of the alien's membership in associations in the
    field for which classification is sought, which require
    outstanding achievements of their members, as judged by
    recognized national or international experts in 'their
    disciplines or fields.

    While is
    suggests tat its
    constituent as the petitioner,
    but rather organizations. Furthermore, there is nothingiin the
    record to_in how an individual (or organization) becomes a
    member of or what qualifications one must possess to, do so .
    ."
    i. .
    The petitioner is a member of the based In
    Paris, France. Counsel asserts that one must e a very highly
    regard led] Elvis performer to be a member."
    Other documents in the
    he petitioner's membership card) refer ito the
    as an Elvis Presley fan club. Fan clubs, in
    most the payment of dues and some level of o
    c: Page 4 WAC 98 16950361
    o
    dedication to the celebrity or celebrities in question. The only
    membership requirement set forth in the record for this club is the
    submission of either 50 or 100 francs (depending on the level of
    membership desired) along with five stamped envelopes.

    The petitioner is also a member of the Musicians Union. From its
    name, this organization appears to be a trade union ratherlthan an
    association with highly exclusive membership r equdrements •

    To satisfy this criterion, the petitioner must submit first-hand
    documentation of the associations' membership requirements. It
    cannot suffice for the petitioner simply to establish membership
    and then claim (personally or through counsel) that these
    associations have strict entry requirements. Simply going on
    record without supporting documentary evidence is not sufficient
    for purposes of meeting the burden of proof in these proceedings.
    See Matter of Treasure Craft of California, 14 I&N Dec. 190 (Reg.
    Comm. 1972). The assertions of counsel do not constitute eVidence.
    Matter of Laureano, 19 I&N Dec. 1, 3 (BIA 1983); Matter of
    Obaigbena, 19 I&N Dec. 533, 534 (BIA 198; Matter of RamirezSanchez,
    17 I&N Dec. 503, 506 (BIA 1980).

    Published materials about the alien in professional or major
    trade publications or other major media, relating to the
    alien's work in the field for which classification is sought.
    Such evidence shall include the title, date, and author of the
    material, and any necessary translation.

    Does Vegas really need another Elvis impersonator?
    I think not!

    Oh, BTW, I think I heard that he just left the building.

    What? Now we are going to embrace every charlatan from anywhere in the world, especially if they are coming specifically for the purpose of cheating Americans out of their money for his "performances" and live off the public dole if he is a dud. The nerve!
