How can you get your visa in a matter of a few days ? what is the problem with obtaining a visa for someone from the DR to come to the US. Are we just a bunch of control freaks, or just paranoid of getting burnt. I was raised to believe that the USA was "the melting pot" and based on that we should open our arns ( and please no nasty comments here...okay ? and thanks ) and welcome all who want to come. I understand that the goverment cant support the whole world, and I donmt want them to. I just want my friends to be able to enjoy what we have here...just for a few weeks. They arent wanting a hand out of welfare...just a vacation just a visit. but can someone please explain to me why I cant bring a friend here for a visit just as easily as I can go there....and whats the lenght of that process...why so many difficulties.....I understand the basic issues, but the big picture alludes me.....sorry to seem so ignorant, I am not, just have never actually approached the whole process, and seems so exhausting to have a friend enjoy my counrty as I have enjoyed theirs.
