Getting U.S. Visa in China Tim, you were born in America and live in China now? Where were you educated? Were you educated? Your writing indicates to me that either you are from Apalachia (a poor area in America where education is poor, to say the least), or you are Chinese and pretending to be American. Any 3rd grade child in America could write better sentences with better spelling and grammar. I have a friend in Shanghai who goes through this process every year to visit me, and I know it is a disheartening and degrading process. However, as stated earlier in this blog, the people who are interviewing are required to start out with the assumption that you want to come here and stay forever. Why? Because history has unfortunately proven that to be true for many. Unfortunately, as with most of life, the good have to suffer along with the bad because there is no good way to weed out the bad. It has been suggested that acceptance/denial should be sent by mail to relieve the burden of telling the person face to face that they have been rejected. I can't even imagine the stress these interviewers go through on a daily basis! How would you like to be the person to tell someone 'no, you can't go where you wanted and planned to go to'? They are the recipients of everything from crying to verbal and sometimes physical assaults on a daily basis. Not a job I'd want! If you're poised, confident and cheerful, you will get an extra 20 points to the good in the mind of the interviewer. Of course there are failures in the system and everything will not go as it should every day, but that's the nature of governments, nothing you can do about that, I'm afraid. |
