Man, that really sucks :( Our countries are not so far from each other, our cultures and history are similar too but when it comes to traveling, the difference seems to be really big. I don´t count it but I have probably been to 30+ countries so far and didn´t have any issues entering any of them. Are the officers basically expecting you to bribe them to give you the visas? Is it how it works in your country?
You are right, even if we are not very far apart, our countries are similar in many ways, but when it comes to certain facilities, it seems that there are certain barriers.
In terms of obtaining a visa, there can be no question of bribing someone.
It's just that the USA is very careful with Romanian citizens who want to visit America or study there or even find a job.
From what I found out from my friends who went to the interview to get the visa, they were checked including what money they have in their accounts and dozens of stupid questions, so that in the end it will be in the hand of the respective officer.
I met the case where the husband and wife applied for the visa and only the husband received the visa, the wife did not.
Honestly everything is very strange in this verification process.
Really sorry to hear that :/ Good luck with your future travels, no matter where you will go!
