Davey84 Posted March 2, 2011 at 10:31 AM Posted March 2, 2011 at 10:31 AM Interesting article The government disagreed, rejecting the application. It said that his salary from Ms. Dion of $90,170 annually, plus medical benefits, might well be higher than the average security guard’s salary of $20,520, but that he was overselling himself. Céline isn't a bad employer! I'm sure he'll get that visa! I don't get the US government, he earns big bucks, which he'll spend in the US, but they'd rather deport him!

mirage Posted March 2, 2011 at 12:36 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 12:36 PM mmmm he's a good bodyguard please dont go Quote
Sofie Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:07 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:07 PM He's my favorite bodyguard, hehe Quote
Bellamy Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:10 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:10 PM Mr. Skokos is seeking to stay through a relatively small program that allows “aliens of extraordinary ability” — whether they are scientists, artists, athletes or even security consultants — to become permanent residents.That's why it was rejected. If Celine applies it, she will get it. But her bodyguard, I can't see why would the US government have to give a permanent VISA to him. And don't forget Celine is a Canadian citizen herself. Even he was rejected, it doesn't mean he can't be with her. It just means he has to apply VISA once a year or so.

celine-rc Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:12 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:12 PM ^ Me too, he is my favorite! I hope that everything works out for him. If he gets shipped back here, how long could it take for him to get a visa? I hope he's going to be able to stay, she's probably going to need him. Quote http://images.lpcdn.ca/435x290/201103/17/305341.jpg Merci Céline pour ces deux soirées inoubliables que j'ai passées à tes côtés. Je ne les oublierais jamais. J't'adore Céline. Merci. <3
ladylindsey Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:17 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:17 PM (edited) ha! noooo comment! Why has he not applied for a Visa already? Doesn't seem like such a big deal? Seems like this is more of a big deal (the press about it) than just doing it? Edited March 2, 2011 at 01:20 PM by ladylindsey Quote
Cheerfuljane Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:31 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:31 PM That was a bad reason for applying for a permanent residency. Stupid lawyer !!! Quote
Shamrock_1982 Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:34 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 01:34 PM I aint a fan of his at all... Quote
QueenCeline Posted March 2, 2011 at 02:05 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 02:05 PM Interesting... but is it even possible for a bodyguard to make $20,520??? I mean, that's awfully low. In the article it says she pays him that much ANNUALLY, but it doesn't say if the $20,520 is annually or not, or just for a job or two (like a few months worth).

ladylindsey Posted March 2, 2011 at 02:19 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 02:19 PM I think it says he earns $90,170 annually and that the 20K is an avg income for a security guard. Quote
celinedream Posted March 2, 2011 at 03:01 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 03:01 PM ohhh poor Nick So same thing goes to her band members too? without Mego there's no show, i mean and he ain't got an Oscar either, so what? only if you win an Oscar you can be US resident? for real? Quote An angel was looking through,It was you,Yeah you...it'sYou are the REASON.
Angel2006 Posted March 2, 2011 at 06:16 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 06:16 PM I don't understand. Why wasn't this an issue when Celine did Vegas the first time, she was there for five years. Wouldn't Nick have dual citizenship by now? I'm sure this will all get worked out in know time, but that thing about having an Oscar to stay in the US is beyond stupid. Quote
QueenCeline Posted March 2, 2011 at 09:00 PM Posted March 2, 2011 at 09:00 PM I think it says he earns $90,170 annually and that the 20K is an avg income for a security guard. I know, that's what I thought, but $20 grand a year, I think that's somewhere near poverty level Quote Marc~~~~~~~~Taking Chances World TourSeptember 29, 2008December 16, 2008
Koolan Posted March 3, 2011 at 12:16 AM Posted March 3, 2011 at 12:16 AM LOL at the title. I don't think hell be deported, it's probably just to stay permanently in the US. I expected Nick to get at least six figures salary. Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below. Click here to go to the Amazon homepage.

I expected Nick to get at least six figures salary. Yeah that seems pretty low for a member of Celine's immediate entourage. But yeah he's still just a bodyguard, not like it's totally irreplacable... I'd suppose her musicians would make around 250 000$+/year + lots of benefits. Probably a lot more for Mego as he's the musical director. Quote
cmcdaori Posted March 3, 2011 at 09:53 AM Posted March 3, 2011 at 09:53 AM What?? Haha, really funny article. I hope he'll settle it up. He is great one. I loved Nick, he is funny guy. Quote Thank u Jesus. Im in ur hands now.

alvick53 Posted March 3, 2011 at 04:00 PM Posted March 3, 2011 at 04:00 PM That's rediculous! Our worthless government lets over 4 million illegal immagrants come in every year, but they want to send back 1 guy who actually comes in the LEGAL way! That's total c#*@! I vote to kick those government officials out of this country instead of Nick! 1 Quote
I Love You Posted March 3, 2011 at 07:34 PM Posted March 3, 2011 at 07:34 PM I like Nick, he is one of my favorite bodyguards. That is ridiculous, that the U.S. government would do that. That is a bunch of B.S. Quote

Dionesque Posted March 4, 2011 at 09:46 PM Posted March 4, 2011 at 09:46 PM Hope he can continue working for Céline if it's his will. He's a nice guy and surely also good at his job.
