United States is the first country that comes to the mind of anyone who presently is neither a citizen nor resident of the country.
Without doubt, the strong desires to experience the beautiful environments of U.S cannot be denied among people who are living in other countries. We all know that U.S is a very beautiful and well developed country with highly improved, more efficient and more organized social settings and academic settings. Also, U.S is the world power and world economy, which makes people outside the country to strongly see it as a safer place to visit or dwell in. United States is a great country that attracts many migrants and immigrants. A lot of people outside USA always feel that their travel history or travel experience is not complete if they have not visited USA or lived in USA.
Most people believe that finding greener pastures in USA makes life more sustainable; schooling in the USA gives you better edge to secure opportunities or better employments; visiting USA for tourism, vacation, business, conference, workshop training could be an experience that is worth having.
In the light of the above, you find out that some people from Asia, Europe, and Africa etc are always trying to visit USA for one travel purpose or the other.
For the people from the countries who must have a U.S visa before they can be allowed to enter into the country, the challenges that these visa applicants encounter throughout the visa processing period could be annoying and at times discouraging to even apply for a U.S visa.
The frustrations of not being able to get a close by(nearer) interview appointment date is one of the challenges.
The most annoying challenge is the fact that 85% of the visa decisions carried out by the consular officers are based on biased decision making. Most times, the consular officers don’t even spend up to 3-5 minutes with the visa applicants and they will immediately deny them the visa. It is painful that in some cases, an applicant would do proper documentation by bringing along other supporting documents like invitation letter, letter of admission, letter of employment, recommendation letter, reference letter, letter of purpose, hotel booking, flight itinerary, statement of bank account, marriage certificate, documents of properties etc in order to prove their strong ties in home country and legitimacy of travel plans to support the information they provided in the visa application form, but the consular officers would not care to ask for those things or to take a look on those documents. Then, even when the applicants try to talk them into asking for any of these documents, they just ignore the request and quickly rush to conclude that they cannot issue the applicants visas – visas denied.
Also, sometimes the consular officers display a common pattern of denying almost everyone visa on some interview days which could make one to assume or suspect that they are following an instruction that have been given to them to make sure they deny/refuse visa to a high number of visa applicants on such interview days.
These things are observations that were made in the U.S embassies.
With the way the consular officers are handling visa interviews in Nigeria and the high level of visa denial/refusal, it is almost becoming a crippling thought when contemplating to apply for a U.S visa since the outcome of the visa application is at the mercy of the consular officers who will interview you(handle your visa application).
If he/she is already stressed out, exhausted or not happy at all when interviewing you; if he/she does not like your face or dress or anything about you, he or she will just refuse granting you visa even when your information in the visa application form and documentation should have qualified you to be issued visa.
Sadly, the fact that the visa fee is non-refundable is another challenge to the applicants who have been denied visa or would be denied visa.
In conclusion, it will make sense if the U.S Embassy or Consulate should make the visa processing and interview not too difficult for applicants who have genuine, verifiable and traceable reasons for planning to enter the United States of America.
God bless America – USA the great nation.
