Please join us for another edition of "Immigration at the Movies: Myth or Truth", the podcast series that examines immigration scenes in popular movies and TV and lets you know how accurately they portray immigration law and procedures.

Today we are going to "fix" one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld. Specifically Season 4 Episode 14 from 1993, "The Visa" with Babu Bhat, who you might remember from an earlier episode where Jerry convinced him to open an all Pakistani restaurant in the neighborhood which failed miserably.

He is now working at the coffee shop where the gang hangs out and is living in the same apartment building as Jerry and Cramer.

His visa application gets temporarily "lost in the mail" and all hilarity ensues. But how realistic is what happens in this episode?

We'll play some clips from the show, while Lin corrects all the immigration law issues. For your real-life immigration law questions, please schedule an appointment at https://meyner.com/
