| As an American, I'm really sorry to hear how bad this process is. Getting a visa for any country (including China, but especially for Russia) is a major pain, but it sounds like getting a U.S. visa is a nightmare. I hope that people will see beyond the Consulate. Most regular people in the U.S. are really nice and will go out of their way to help you. And most of us (according to recent polls) want a new administration to take over our government in the upcoming elections in 2006 and 2007 -- hopefully one that thinks more globally and understands that the visa process is critical to America's success. After all, the co-founders of Intel, Google, and Sun were not Americans and had U.S. visas! |
