RUBINPublished: July 25, 2008 What about visiting visas for Iraqi-American families members, business or tourists? What about student visas? Till now the US visa authorities deals with Iraqis , same way the did during Sadam era. Till when they keep looking to Iraq from the hostility front window. I don't ask for big change, please deal with Iraqis at least the way you do with Afghans, Iranians, Lebanese, Syrians not mentioning the Suedes or Jordanians ! A 65 years old friend of mine who is a professor and dean of one of the Iraqi university colleges , is waiting a visiting visa to attend wedding of his niece for three months. Another businessman friend who wanted to visit some US firms , was denied visa for no clear reason. Iraqis have to go to Neighboring countries to apply at a time the biggest US embassy is in Baghdad !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
