Frank Dixon: I have a bit of bad news: it seems that your country has suspended all traveling privileges on passports that have issued by your government and our state department has revoked the visa that was going to allow you to enter into the United States that's it in a nut shell, while you were in the air there was a military coup in your country now most of dead were members of the presidential guard they were attacked in the middle of the night they got it all on GHN there were very few civilian casualties so I'm sure your family is fine,

[Frank slams an apple on the bag of potato chips]

Frank Dixon: No more Krakhozia! New government, revolution! So all the flights in your country has been suspended indefinitely and the new government has sealed all the borders which means your passport and visa are no longer valid so currently you are a citizen of nowhere, even if we could get you new papers we couldn't process them until the United States recognizes your country's new diplomatic reclassification, you don't qualify for asylum, refugee status temporary protective status humanitarian parole non-immigration work travel visa, you at this time are simply "unacceptable".
