How long it will take to have a visa appointment??

It really takes long when you're doing it by your self and it depends on what type of visa you are applying for.
If you are applying for a Visit Visa for US, i know someone who gives assistance, the same person who helped me. I just acquired my 10-YEAR US VISIT VISA last April 8, 2010 but it really cost you MONEY. If you need more information, just ask me.

Hey can you give more details about that person? Thanks!

From the sound of it, this poster used "extra effort" to get a tourist visa to the US. Tsk, tsk....

What's wrong in giving an extra effort and spending extra money in getting something? I'm just so lucky enough to have all the resources I needed, now I'm enjoying the privilege. :lol2:

Only the US embassy can give tourist visa for the US and if you are paying someone there to assist you then you are looking at fraud and visa could be cancelled. At the end of the day if a visa is abused and used as a way to get into the US with full intentions of staying then it is wrong and will mean it is harder for people who genuinely require a visa to get one. Saying that the US embassy has clamped down and we have seen several posters posting that they was denied a visa and with Retrogression it is harder to use tourist visa to AOS and stay

You are so right Silverdragon, it's only up to the discretion of the US Consul to approve or deny your application for a visa. I think, fraud only comes in when you are giving false statement, information and documents with the intention of acquiring a visitor's visa to look for a job or of staying in the US for good; but paying someone to assist you to avoid hassle is another story since still the applicants themselves will be in-line doing the interview. You can check out the internet to see it yourselves, there are really legal services being offered that will hasten your application for a visa only it will cost you thousands of bucks, and such services of course are only for the privileged ones; i mean if you can't afford for the service fee then do it yourself, downloading the application form, setting an appointment, etc.

One more thing for the information of those who find wrong in me acquiring a visa with an extra effort, an approved visa on your passport still does not guarantee entry in US. Still you have to prove to the interview officer at your port of entry your clear intention in getting in the US and if you are financially able to support your entire stay. What i'm implying here is the importance of money which is my means of extra effort in getting a visa and enjoying it. :lol2:
