Is Heading to the U.S.A!!!

It has taken me way too long to fill out my application. Had I had a Bruneian or Australian passport, the process would take 10 minutes. But no, I have stamps in my Malaysian passport that proves residency in Brunei and Australia. So with this red passport comes 20 pages of questions and plenty of paperwork.

I am asked...

Have you ever been arrested or convicted for any offense or crime, even though subject of a pardon, amnesty or other similar legal action? Have you ever unlawfully distributed or sold a controlled substance(drug), or been a prostitute or procurer for prostitutes?
Have you ever been refused admission to the U.S., or been the subject of a deportation hearing or sought to obtain or assist others to obtain a visa, entry into the U.S., or any other U.S. immigration benefit by fraud or willful misrepresentation or other unlawful means? Have you attended a U.S. public elementary school on student (F) status or a public secondary school after November 30, 1996 without reimbursing the school?
Do you seek to enter the United States to engage in export control violations, subversive or terrorist activities, or any other unlawful purpose? Are you a member or representative of a terrorist organization as currently designated by the U.S. Secretary of State? Have you ever participated in persecutions directed by the Nazi government of Germany; or have you ever participated in genocide?

All to which I have answered NO!

I am asked to provide supporting evidence of my finances, employment, and that I have intention of leaving America rather than jump ship and stay as an illegal immigrant pretty much. So the weekend was spend scrambling the documents and paying a lot of money for the application only to be asked 3 questions at my interview this morning:

- What do you do?
- How long have you been doing it for?
- Who are you traveling with?

And wait for it - without requesting any other documentation, the Americano says...

"Okay, visa granted!"

No complaints there because it has been my childhood dream to have a white Christmas, but the money and time spent on completing the application is just "bleh".
