A generally pleasant experience!
The application process for the renewal of my U.S. visa was quite long and sometimes tedious. However, the support I received from the U.S. Embassy, and particularly from Emma, was amazing! Emma was always very focused and professional, and truly eased what would otherwise have been a real burden. I’m truly thankful. There was, however, just one “hiccup” that I would like to mention. When I was called to be interviewed I was told that I indicated, in filling the DS 160 form, that my last visit to the U.S. was in 1981. I couldn’t understand how I could have made such an error. When I returned home and reviewed the form, I realized that I was asked if I had ever visited the U.S. and when. I was not asked when was my last visit, so I gave the date of my first visit. I am of the view that the question, and not I, was at fault. For the sake of other applicants, I believe it would be helpful if this question could be rephrased. I wish to reiterate, nevertheless, that the application process for me was quite pleasant, mainly because of Emma’s help. I’m truly grateful!
