Russell Brand could lose US visa over assault charge

London: Russell Brand`s arrest has prompted the U.S. immigration officials to investigate the matter - which could cause his visa to be revoked.

The arrest occurred after Brand allegedly attacked a photographer who tried to film up his fiancée - Katy Perry`s skirt. "A charge of battery could result in a conviction for an aggravated felony. Any kind of criminal conviction can lead to a visa being revoked," the Daily Star quoted a source from US Citizen and Immigration Services as telling the Mirror. "If a visa is revoked, the person will then be placed in deportation proceedings and this could lead to them being asked to leave the country and not return," added the source. ANI
