Raymond Yeo sent the letter below, claiming "our client had made the necessary arrangements for the children to travel to the US on their Singapore passports...." If this was true, why didn't Singapore Airlines check the children onto the flight on Tue March 15th at Changi Airport?
The actual truth is as follows which is documented in the SQ system and witnessed by many who were at the SQ Check-In Counter at Changi Airport:
1) Yeo's client Yuxin Mei Wang purchased 1 way tickets for the children to the US
2) An invalid US Passport number was provided to the travel agent and entered into the Singapore Airlines system
3) Wang did not obtain approval via ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) that is required when entering the US from Visa Waiver countries such as Singapore. Here is the link to ESTA: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html
4) Singapore Airlines could not check the children onto the flight because the children only had one-way tickets and did not have ESTA approval to enter the US on Singapore passports.
Raymond, I ask you, how is this considered "made the necessary arrangements for the children to travel to the US on their Singapore passports?" Please answer this question.
If the "necessary arrangements" were made, the children would have been allowed to board the flight. Wouldn't you agree Raymond?
Wang would probably not have been able to purchase one-way tickets from the Singapore Airlines Service Center if she only showed a Singapore passports. SQ would know the rules better than the "imaginery" immigration attorney Wang consulted. That is how an invalid US passport number was provided to SQ and was in fact in the SQ system at Changi Airport.
