visa

It is time to break my silence. I have left Kazakhstan but have not forgotten. I hold that the decisions by Consular officers to deny Sultana Kali an F-1 student visa to study in the US were discriminatory, rooted in transphobia. I do not say this lightly. See my latest web journal post, My Declaration, for the reasons why. I will continue to advance Sultana's cause in all possible forums both inside and outside the U.S. State Department. That inludes this court of public opinion.
