USA visa is just a nightmare! To me, it is the last destination that I would dare think about going unless I am told that my it is a do or die situation; the system is just too unfriendly! First time I was denied visa because they said I had no strong reasons that I would come back to UK (because that was then my country of temporary residency) if I enter the 'Holy Country'; and the next time, I managed to get the visa after 4 good hours of waiting in endless queues in their London office!!!!! Not sure what my experience would be like from this side of the globe - Zimbabwe!
