German Chancellor Fellow Reflects on Visa Challenges

The author, a German Chancellor Fellow, shares their experiences living in Germany and the challenges they face with US visas.

In Germany, they describe the process of integrating into society, including learning the language and dealing with immigration offices.

The author contrasts this with the uncertainty and stricter policies they encounter when dealing with US visas.

The US embassy has issued warnings about visa revocation and deportation for breaking laws, and there are longer waits and more checks for visa applicants.

The author feels that getting a US visa is like rolling a dice, with a lot of uncertainty and suspicion.

They highlight the differences in how Germany and the US handle immigration and the impact these policies have on people's lives.
