 Word. I couldn't agree with you more my MCReggae! Machungu nayo. machungu....lakini machungu ya ukweli if we compare it with a slaughtered bull meat fest sisi tumepewa hooves...ama ulimi. mbona mna hijack hii thread yangu? pelekeni ukabila yenu kwa ile thread ya bensouda! But I would have really expected Masukuma to look for a visa for China, not US.  Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

@Masukuma, I agree with the sentiments expressed here...it is a good place to visit and to see for yourself...the land of miok and honey...
One thing you should keep in mind, is that sometimes the people who you are to visit in the US may be MIA when you land at the airport...plan B ni muhimu...
For the visa application, just keep it honest...getting it takes less than 10 minutes...but surely, someone explain to me, why is it that the money you pay for this visa application is non-refundable when yo are denied a visa?

It is a deterrent for frivolous applications. Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

have you ever read my posts? I have always preached the concept of the world being a supermarket - pick the good from all places but don't be lied to that it's ALL OR NOTHING! ndio hii rink for reference . so don't be an extremist! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

LOOOOL All in good jest my friend, your views are rather balanced, not skewed. Was just adding some humour there...hope you get your visas, the kids will love the US! Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

It is a deterrent for frivolous applications. sometime back I saw Edith Kimani doing a presentation that took her to the embassy - the visa officers stated that the reason they don't give you the money back is because 'they do some background checks and work before you come for the interview that is what you pay for' - as explained by many on this forum, the fact that they give you a visa after some 5 or 7 questions goes to show that they had already pretty much decided on your fate prior to your showing up.

Quote:[quote=masukumaI have done trips with my famo to both Asia and nicer parts of africa (I try to go with them when the situation is conducive) - do you think this will be advantageous? I may do a couple more with them before we decide to travel west.
It's a plus on your profile cz it shows you are a frequent flier and you still love your country so much to want to come back. A busy PP to 'good countries for proper reasons' is an advantage. Who says that ppl have a funny smell?  Kwani you use lifebuoy?? "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Who says that ppl have a funny smell? Kwani you use lifebuoy?? Depends which part of Asia.... Some countries would be a liability to your CV..... Try going to Israel and you have a Dubai visa.... becomes tougher than if you didn't have any altogether.... same goes to the US and some countries' visas. Raises the level of scrutiny.
