Tight visa rules hurt U.S. business Tuesday, November 30, 2004 Posted: 8:23 AM EST (1323 GMT) NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Tightened border security has tripped up business plans in ways that threaten to hurt U.S. companies, and that problem has only been getting worse three years after Sept. 11, companies and immigration lawyers said. For example, a high-profile China Business Summit organized by Dow Jones & Co. and Harvard University for this week was abruptly canceled because key people from China were not able to obtain visas in time. About five to ten people from China had to drop out at the last minute, according to spokesman Julian Chang at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, who declined to name those who were unable to book their trips. cnn.com
