US team busts visa myths
The Telegraph | Shillong, March 29:
Are you are planning a vacation to Niagara Falls, Disneyland or Las Vegas? Then “apply for your visa early” and remember the chances of getting a US visa increases dramatically if you are “married”. These were some of the facts that were revealed at an interactive session, which was part of the US outreach programme to clarify misconceptions surrounding visa applications after the September 11 attacks.
Pfleiderer also advised the audience not to make any travel plans, including purchase of air tickets, unless their visa was cleared by the consulate. “We do not want you to lose a lot of money. So, please, refrain from purchasing air tickets until your visa is cleared,” she said.
She also said it was a “little easier” to get a visa “if you have a spouse”. “We take a lot of time to approve visa applications received from unmarried young people,” Pfleiderer said. The average time to clear visa applications was two to four weeks, she added. In case of a refusal, applicants can always apply for a second time after correcting the mistakes.
