Hi everybody<br><br>so the americans have *of course* outsourced visa processing to a private company. Their San Francisco office tells me that with the conference registration confirmation i can get the visa (it works like a invitation letter), but they have never heard of a free visa. I sent them the link to the website where it states that it should be free.<br>
<br>Anybody else successful in San Francisco?<br><br>best<br>max<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 7:49 PM, Jeffrey A. Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com">jwkckid1@ix.netcom.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am not sure why there is really such a problem in attaining a<br>
visa. I got my diplomatic visa to India very easily recently. Perhaps<br>
it is the difference in types of visas being sought and/or requested?<br>
