Maninder,
If you would have gone without a visa to the US they wouldn't let you in, BUT if an American man and his wife living in another country had arrived in the US with their two kids, the US would have at least granted them a transit visa. Just because the parents are Americans, the kids automatically can come into their parents' land. Americans are not mean to their own people, unfortunately the Indian officials are.

I think US immigration will think and re think if the parents are american's and kids are not american citizens...incase if they are not going to allow into the country....atleast they will make sure that you stay in airport for 1-2 days to take rest and send you back after that...
American immigrants may be rude when it comes to duty...but they are not inhuman...
Our immigration guys just want to be strict(may be they want to be like other countries immigration autorities)...but in that efort they are forgetting that human face of the whole thing...

Thats right. People disrespect rules and make hue and cry.The couples were aware they didnt bring the documents when the paris officials checked their documents. They simply ignored the rules and now they talk about humanity. Same way if they do in USA, will they be excused? Now a days many of the indians have become double edged.....

Your point only makes sense if the Frenchman was also asked to return for having no visa. Why was he given a transit visa and not the NRIs?
Don't you think it is totally unfair and they are really not following the law? it should be applicable to everybody, why are the whites given concessions in the law?
