Why is it so hard to get a USA visa?

Is it a result of terrorism fears?? Illegal immigrants?

Did you have to get a VISA ? I was in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago and all I had to fill was a ESTA application and I had no problem at all getting one.

France =! Ukraine

Read up on the Visa waiver program on Wikipedia to get the details. Travelling to the US from any country not in that program is a pain.

Its because they are so special they bomb at least 1 new country a year and assume that everyone else is as warlike as them with their freedom so live in fear.

I hope that US citizens on the forum understand that jabbering about the situation on the internet is not the only possible course of action. If you realize how incredibly stupid american approach to visas is, what about contacting you elected representative about the topic?

I really feel sorry for Strelok, as it is only several years ago when we were in the same situation. Luckily now we are on the waiver program, but I really don't see how Ukranians are less worthy of that than us.

That mostly sucks for strelok himself, it's not easy to assume stuff can take that much longer there.

Really sad to hear this. I'm sorry Strelok, it's not your fault, but it sucks that you won't be able to make it. I'll miss you at the NASL finals but hopefully i'll get to see you soon in america. Keep owning nerds and winning money!

Oh I see, sorry for my ignorance I thought it was the same for all the european countries... Why do they make a difference between western/eastern Europe ? Because of the past ? Seems silly to me.

Yep, getting an US visa can be pretty bullshit at times. I know it from my own experience but I had more than a month to apply in my case.

Trying to reason with embassy rules is beyond anyone, don't try it if you wish to stay sane. What do you expect from people who can't locate any other countries other than their own on the world map?

Strelok's NASL interviews were the best I was looking forward to seeing him, and now I must wait. But the wait will be well worth it. Strelok fighting.

Orly, Mister Troll. I'm so glad you are so learned. What Utopian society do you live in?

Let's see. if you don't like it, don't come here. Most of the strictness in the Immigration policies is because people come here and don't leave. Running out their Visas. It' s sad that it is harder and harder to get a Visa, but certain countries have an easier access to receiving their travel Visas.

You must get out more. I guess most of the racial genocides that have happened in Europe doesn't count. I guess that's not warlike. The constant regime change and ethic cleansing in many African nation aren't warlike. The middle east and the religious turmoil is not warlike. the many Asian warlords killing people over drug production is not warlike.

The B-1 Visa is the typical (Professional Visa i.e Athletes, Performer, and Gamers, who are coming to compete for prize money)

This is the problem with the NASL. They do this really long tournament. Takes forever to get done. People bail on there group games, and now people are unable to get VISA's..after being told MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A VISA. Frankly, every player in the NASL needs to have a VISA and provide proof before they are able to compete.

This is the reason why the NASL is irrelevant. I know Strelok never intended for this to happen, but it did happen because he didn't get his paperwork in order as intended. Remember why other players were not chosen because of prior visa issues? Frankly, I think Strelok should be banned from season 2.

Just an opinion... the NASL was very clear. They did not want this happening. Guess what... It happened. Now the NASL has there pants down by there ankles...again.
