I'm bummed about Noreen (no visa), and it looks like we won't be seeing Giedre either.

They really do get some great girls but they SERIOUSLY need to get some help with the graphic design- it is SOOO ghetto!
Image means so much in this industry, they really need to step up their marketing. I bet a graphic design student or someone looking to improve their portfolio would even help them.
That font....with the cheesy shadow.. I can't get over it.

There used to be lots of visas, but after 9/11 they were reduced (to keep out the terrorist-model types). Now it is done partly by lottery, since more people apply than there are spots.
I still can't believe that if a top NY agency really wants someone, they can't get the visa from their own government. That's not good business.
So if a girl waits until she finishes high school to move to the big apple, she may still be forced to wait a year or two.
How long are the visas good for? Three years?
