The US authorities at Boston Logan International Airport revoke their visa instead of following the protocol, said his lawyer.
“As annoying like me on the rocks, They are not to blame and they are just doing their job, “he says.

The scientist’s friends say that when Petrova’s visa was revoked that they would be deported to Russia, something that his lawyer says he would have a devastating result, since “he will surely be imprisoned if they send her back to Russia.”
Cora Anderson, who works with the Russian scientist, shared on Facebook that Petrova told CBP that he feared political persecution and, on the other hand, was sent by the authorities to a detention center.
“Initially we had no idea what had happened to him, since he could not send any message or make any call to detention. At first he transferred it to an installation in Vermont and Then Louisiana Where is it now. Where it is now is a prison that has ice rented space and remains in a room with more than 80 female detainees, “Anderson published.
Petrova is currently at the Richwood detention Center in Louisiana and has a hearing in the immigration court on May 7 in Jena, Louisiana was related to her asylum case.
