I have an article on BusinessWeek.com today about US immigration and how alcohol is a factor. As well as comment from the State Department, it involves a fantastic case study about a British man and an American woman who married last year but are still separated because the US Embassy turned down his Green Card application because of a nine-year-old drink driving conviction. Over the past five years there has been a huge jump in the number of people turned down for visas on the basis of a “physical or mental disorder”, which includes alcohol problems. For more, please read the story.

BusinessWeek is my first US client in journalism. (In the blogging space, I also write for EcoSalon). Talk about starting at the top! I hope to write more for BusinessWeek soon.
