BTW, Bolivian nationals don't need transit visas, so I don't know why this guy is applying for one

You are totally wrong, all Bolivian nationals need a transit visa to merely connect through the USA on international flights.

http://lapaz.usembassy.gov/english/consular/TransitVisa.htm

"All persons who are in transit through the United States to a third country are required to obtain a transit visa. Applicants for a transit visa do not need to make appointments for their visa interviews. They may come to the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in La Paz for their visa interview any day Monday through Thursday from 10:00 am to 11:15 am.

Applicants for transit (C) visas are required to bring the following items to their interviews:

* Passport valid for at least six months and in good condition.

* Visa Application Form DS-156 (available online, at DHL, at the U.S. Embassy in La Paz, and at the Consular Agencies in Santa Cruz and Cochabamba). Applicants are encouraged to complete and print out Form DS-156 online. If using the online form all questions should be filled out before printing the form.

* Male applicants from 16 to 45 years of age must complete supplementary application Form DS-157 available online, at DHL, at the U.S. Embassy in La Paz, and at the Consular Agencies in Santa Cruz and Cochabamba).

* Receipt for the $100 visa application fee (to be paid at any BISA Bank office).

* One 5 x 5 cm. (2 x 2 inch) photograph taken within the last six months. The photograph should be non-glossy, have a white background, and be of good quality. The photo must be facing forward and only the face should be visible. Both color and black and white photographs are accepted.

* For suggestions on what you should bring to the interview, please click here.

I was going on older information. As you can see from what you posted, Biolivians formerly could go TWOV. I'm still interested you have time on your hands to post a huge chunk from a web-page in response to this. Does the phrase 'get a life' mean anything to you?

And I still maintain this has no business on FR.
