Tibetan Refugees: India and Embassy

tibetan refugees: They were seeking travel visas to participate in the Dallas Cup soccer tournament scheduled to take place April 9-16 Childers, who is from New Jersey, said in an email from India that embassy officials did not glance at the documents nor provide any other reasons or explanations, according to Hamilton Spectator. All but two of the 16 who visited the embassy hold Indian Identity Certificates, which are issued by the Indian government for Tibetan refugees. Cassie Childers, a coach and executive director for Tibet Women's Soccer, said that 16 members of the team were told at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi, India, that they have no good reason to visit the U.S., during their visit on Feb. 24. They function as passports even though they do not represent citizenship to India. Four players, who live in Nepal and have Nepal passports, had interviews in Kathmandu on Feb. 4. The other two, which includes the head coach, hold Indian passports. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
