I do agree getting the VISA to the US is NOT that difficult if ones didn't have any hidden agenda. I was impressed !! I've got 10 years visa myself. The real problem is when you get there at the immigration. I landed at Dulles 4 times in the past 6 years . I was trying to establish a small business there but the greetings at the counter were never welcome. I felt cheaper than those illegal people there!!The US is a great country. People are nice with all kinds of environment you could asked for. But I stop trying now, If homeland security doesn't want me there then why should I.,. to be treated nicely when applied the VISA but as if I was a door to door salesman at the gate
