Dont buy ticket in American Airlines - Transit visa
ana my experience | september - 2005 | ana

Posted on 09/26/2005 9:56:39 AM PDT by gat_ubela

Hello, this is my email to the American Embassy:

I applied today September 2005 for a TRANSIT VISA..because I have to travel to England (by American Airlines) in October. Your person in charge rejected my application.

I brought all the documents indicated in your web page and more that she did not want to see... and just rejected this.

So I want to complaint because in your web page you don't say that to apply to a transit visa is going to be as difficult as a more important visa.... you don't say that people should bring many proofs that you have big bank accunts.... you just say: the form, the payment of 100 US, the passport, the photo.... and SUGGEST t bring some ther documents to prove enough means....

I didn't have any other problem with my last passport, and I traveled before to the USA before, to Japan, to England twice... without any problem but now your PERSON ON CHARGE rejected my application to be in the airport sme hours on October...

I asked her if I could bring more documents to have this application aproved but she didn't help me at all. I wanted to show her my tickets to go and return, and some other documents to prove my links with La Paz- Bolivia. But she was just a non-helping person.

I FORMERLY ASK YOUR the UNITED STATES EMBASSY to explain clearly IN THEIR WEB PAGE that to get the transit visa is going to be AS DIFFICULT AS THE TOURIST VISA.

Otherwise THE UNITED STATES EMBASSY IS just misleading the people who had the mistake of buying a ticket to travel by AMERICAN AIRLINES.

This was my mistake and I regret this already.

Sincerely

A sad and angry Bolivian

Why did your last passport expire? Did it expire prior to 9-11/01? If so restrictions have changed.

You don't need a Visa, FRiend, if you are in transit in international airports. You don't clear customs into the USA until you try to leave the international terminal.

Having said that, as a non-US citizen, you have NO RIGHT at all to ever set foot on our soil. Get over it.

Hey gat, your anger and frustration are quite valid.
The truth is that terrorists and illegal immigrants are to blame, more than the USA embassy. Many people do not end up taking their connecting flight that would take them out of the USA... Chavez is putting all kinds of money into insurgency in Bolivia, so it is now on a kind of watch list for problem people. So all these things that are no fault of your own are causing problems.

Anyway you can see why a transit visa might require nearly as much care as a tourist visa.

I wish this was not the situation, wish things were different.
