Please grant visa

At times, I wonder why is the American Embassy in Kathmandu that generous towards the Bhutanese? They grant visas to them easily. However, if a Nepali applies for visa whether it is for student visa, or for any other purpose, a visa officer simply tells that he/she doesn't have substantial and necessary documents to convince the officer. We all understand that Americans are pretty concerned about the influx of illegal immigrants, but are they aware that people from Bhutan and other countries, having problems of insurgency enter the US with the B1 visa to attend so-called conferences? Once they get into the US, all of them apply for a political asylum, which they can obtain easily. However, the Nepalese never go to the US to acquire political asylum .

So, I hereby humbly request all the concerned officials of the US embassy to grant visas to the Nepalese who wish to go there for official and personal purposes.

Sujan
