Living in Cambodia (with a German passport) I have, over the years,
helped many Cambodians to process their Schengen visa applications for
conference participation or studies, all without any rejection; I have
tried also to help others with US visa applications - unfortunately the
process was more difficult, and it did not work out in several cases.

Of course this is based on several dozen cases only - maybe overall
statistics may lead to different results.
