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.
