After receiving news that her US Visa application was rejected, Amy Winehouse made an appeal to the American Embassy and London and it paid off.

Winehouse’s publicity firm, the Outside Organization released the following statement confirming the Embassy’s reversal of its initial decision.

“Following further discussions involving the U.S. Embassy in London and officials in the United States, Amy Winehouse has been granted a visa to enter the United States of America.”

However, the decision came too late for her to make the trip according to her representatives.

Amy Winehouse will not be attending the Grammy Awards on Sunday (Feb. 10) in Los Angeles, after her visa application to enter the United States was denied by the American Embassy in London. However, Winehouse may still appear on the CBS broadcast via satellite.

According to E! Online Senior Editor Marc Malkin, organizers had originally allotted rehearsal time in Los Angeles for Friday, and as a contingency, have retained a crew in London to produce a live satellite feed. The thinking is that Winehouse can belt out one or two songs and accept any awards in real time. However, it’s not immediately clear if Winehouse will be up for the long-distance performance.

British singer Amy Winehouse has again been invited for questioning by London Metropolitan Police; this time regarding a video that allegedly showed her smoking cocaine. No charges were filed yet as an investigation is still ongoing.

We are lead to believe that this most recent investigation spawned from a tabloid article that came out in January. In said tabloid were still images captured from a video that showed Winehouse inhaling what appears to be crack fumes from a pipe. These images were said to have been filmed during a party at the jazz diva’s East London home.
