Indian Tech Worker Denied US Visa; Travel History Cited
A young Indian tech worker was turned down for a US tourist visa to visit NYC.
She works for an American company and earns a good salary, but the visa was denied.
The applicant thinks it might be because she hasn't traveled much internationally before.
Online comments suggest that since NYC is an expensive place to visit, and lacking prior travel experience raised questions.
She plans to build travel history and apply again later.
