“The Zambian community is one of the best-behaved communities in the United States of America. Of all the countries, you only have 133 of the recognized violations of overstay and visa violations that they are not in a hurry to deal with.
“I encourage you to stay on the good side of the law so that we can negotiate favorable terms for you with the US Government,” Mr. Chilaizya said.
