<div><em><strong>jack4952</strong> asked: </em></p>
<p>A very close female friend living in Odessa, Ukraine applied for a TOURIST VISA to visit me in the U.S. for her vacation. After her interview at the U.S. Embassy in Kiev, Ukraine, she was handed a generic &#8220;Dear Applicant&#8221; letter DENYING her the visa using the standard reason: the applicant has not shown sufficient evidence of returning home after their visit, but may &#8220;abandon their home country&#8221;. It did NOT even have her name on it &#8211; it was handed to her from a stack of IDENTICAL letters.</p>
<p>Now, she recently BOUGHT a new apartment (in cash &#8211; NO mortgage!) for herself and her son; has a full-time job as a &#8220;Head Nurse&#8221; at a medical facility in Odessa; owns a part-time dermatology business there; has advanced degrees/medical training there that would NOT be recognized in the U.S.; her parents own their home in full nearby. What more &#8220;evidence&#8221; do they want?</p>
<p>It turns out that the U.S. DENIES visas to ALL young, attractive, female applicants from certain countries (Russia, Ukraine)&#8230;</p>
