For yet another time, rapper Snoop Dogg may possibly be denied entry
into another country, this time the Long Beach native has the
Immigration Department in Australia a little skeptical.
After initially giving Snoop Dogg‘s provisional approval on his
visa, the Immigration Department in Australia decided that they would
instead conduct a full character assessment to see if Snoop would be
allowed entry into the country.
According to a spokesperson for the Immigration Department, the full character assessment was a result of public concern.
“Mr.
Broadus has not been granted a visa, there are further steps required
beyond character assessment before a visa is granted. The department
has now decided to do a full assessment of the character of Mr.
Broadus,” a department spokesperson said. “Community complaints have
no effect on the grant or otherwise of a visa. Each application is
assessed individually on its merits.“
