Amanda from Bucharest Embassy denied my friend a VISA because of her beauty

She won't have been denied for being beautiful. You've said she appeared to them to be without strong ties to her home country. You were not present I assume? Difficult to know exactly what was said then.

Correct. She only had a bank account at the time. Now she has her name on land/property in Romania. No consistent Romanian job history though.

I have a difficult time believing that there isn't more to this story. Or much less.

I was going to chime in with other users. It really is impossible to know what happened at the interview. Usually when people are denied, they receive an explanation and a law code for the reason she is denied. However, I am sure ( she ) could file a complaint fi she felt the staff was unprofessional, no?

I would think the best thing to do is find out why she was denied, and the fix that problem. I have not yet read any regulations that say you can be denied based on physical appearance.

Something starting with 2... "Insufficient information"

She is hoping that Romania finally joins the group of European countries that participate in the Visa waiver program. She said Romania was planned to be active in march 2015 but apparently nothing has changed

She was denied because of her "beauty"? More like she was denied for not having enough and convincing ties to her country. Tourist visas are hard to get, especially for young people (since they are more likely to be potential immigrants).

What more would help you actually give me advice ?

With regards to her obtaining the visa or enhancing your calm?

For the former, she could try providing more proof of ties to Romania to show she would return at the end of her period of study. For the latter, I recommend yoga.

Yea that was the technical reason why. She was 23 and only had a bank account and no consistent Romanian job history. No name on any lease (does now though). But she knows people who have gotten visas with way less

I'm not going to lie, I'm getting creeped out by you asking for her photo. Might I ask what steps would you take to help me with that one new piece of information ?

Even though you are sarcastic, you have given me good advice lol so thanks.

As for my calm..She's a yoga instructor so when she gets to the US, she'll help me with that lol instead of us hanging out in countries outside of the US.

Depends on the CO, really. Pretty or not, lack of ties to Romania and her young age had her denied.

So basically, the more ties the better, but at the end of the day the CO has all the power ? ... Dam
