Man shares question he was asked at US visa interview

Eddy said:

"He didn’t even look at documents. Like no single paper left my file."

Eddy said the officer who attended to him asked only one question before proceeding to deny him the US visa.

He said:

"Got asked just one question - how long have you been in the uk and do you have family in the US.   Next thing denied. I was shocked!"

"They need to start refunding people a percentage of the money. It’s crazy."
