but i do think the consular officers are abusing their
power at those hapless applicants. If the 老太太's
sons are US citizens, they better give her a visa,
or she can have her son to complain to the state dept to kick
the consular officer's ass. I've seen it happen,
and these snobs eventually have to approve the visa.
btw, think about it, what kind of loser who can not
find a good paying job in the US will go work as a consular
officer?
