USA vs. Other countrie's immigration process?

[Harsh_77 718]

UK was easier for me than the US was for my wife. Despite the new stricter rules, I imagine the visa process itself will still be much faster than here.

Have u been to UK embassy, there are hardly any lines check out US embassy its mad rush ppl are cribbing about not getting the appointments.

More ppl try to enter and they will try each and every trick, from lies, sham marriage, fake documents etc.

US embassy has to be on the lookout for such ppl.

How many times was Trinidad embassy attacked or bombed, prob never, I don’t need to go in details why US embassy has that much security.

I'll admit I can only speak to what I know, which is Trinidad. But the country is not dependent on tourism much at all, and even then they want tourists not residents. I didn't get any special treatment, but once they are satisfied you have a legit claim and a legit relationship they are not going to be so indifferent as to let a paper mistake derail everything.

Just as example and yes it was my fault for using the US style date system when filling out my forms my file was misfiled. Eventually an officer said no way did you get this far without a file after a junior officer just said it must be lost, he actually went and found it in their records. I felt so stupid afterward for mindlessly writing the date in US style, but was grateful he actually cared enough to help. From what I have read here I'd bet the US would have just said sorry and make the whole process start over.

One bad thing is inefficiency, you will spend years waiting for the gears to turn. The US seems much faster overall, but also very indifferent to people.

I'm not saying I want fraud and baseless claims let through, but if someone has a legit claim and has proven themselves legit in interviews its horrible to let a small mistake derail everything for them.

I'm disappointed my country treats people that way.

If you fill the US forms correctly then infact they are the only forms which actually tells u how long it would be for you to complete the forms and get the ready.

So on Trinidads form I guess they had not put how they want you to enter the date most forms have mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy which means they cannot blame you for not filling it correctly.
