But if you haven't got a visa/work permit, you haven't got a visa/work permit.
I'm no apologist for regulations or overzealous bureaucracy, but the fact that the rules have been re-tightened in recent years has been made crystal clear. If the paper work is not in your possession before you travel, you're making an unwise decision to get on that plane. It's the responsibility of the agent and the promoter to make sure that this paper work has been dealt with before the artist departs. If it's not been taken care of, this is not a very professional thing to let happen. You can't buck reality unfortunately. It's not a question of generosity or not on the part of the immigration staff. It just is. Nowadays, anyway. And the immigration regulations for Europeans wanting to do temporary work in the States are just as stringent, by the way.
