@linguistMasoud This has happened to me twice! And I experienced less than 5 minute “no” interview. She didn’t check anything. And after a short glance at my i20 said “no” . You’re not qualified. She didn’t even let me talk and show my documents that I prepared with lots of difficulties.

@linguistMasoud This happened to me on the 1st of June this year at the Embassy in Abuja,Nigeria,though my funding was 50 percent. Time,money,effort....down the drain...I still haven't recovered from the mental strain I went to through to achieve nothing.

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

@tdietterich Sure many do. And many don’t. The issue is that it is all in the hands of an officer, who can decide with no logic to deny your case after all the time, effort, and money you have put into it, and you can’t do anything about it

@S_Singh24 It’s a lot of unchecked power. Recipe for abuse and disaster

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

@itsteki Nope not uncommon. And very sad. It’s a young person’s plan for life being ruined

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

student here but I know that this is happening to hundreds of students applying to US embassies. And it is so cruel. I have never felt this frustrated and demoralized. And the sad part is that no one who cares can do anything and those that can do anything simply don’t care.

Their time and money is everything to them. They are trying to build their future with the little they have and they could have spent that time and money applying to other great institutions in many other countries that will be happy to have them. I mentioned the case of my

particular countries or ethnicities or whatever but why be so cruel about it?! Why let a student spend a year and hundreds of dollars and let us offer them admission and plan on their joining to ultimately just say “no” to them at the embassy for bullshit reasons?

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

admissions committee. Forget about all the filling forms and interviewing and emailing etc. He had to pay for admissions fees, standardized tests, visa application fee, flight ticket to another country to attend the 5 minute visa interview (no US

[Masoud @linguistMasoud]

I’m quite used to the cruelty students can face when they apply for a US visa but this one broke me. We offered admission to a stellar, talented & hardworking student. After months of work and hundreds of dollars, an embassy officer saw him for 5 mins & said no. why? …

Each year, 11 million people apply for the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. Applicants have a 1% chance of winning.

Now, tens of thousands of people are unsure of their status in the lottery process because of policy changes in the last 3 years. https://t.co/eJs1ao7RIU

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program gives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for immigrants to build a future in the US.

However, Trump upended their lives after they had beaten the odds. These are the stories of four people still waiting for justice.

@NoMuslimBanEver I have been impacted by Muslim ban since 2018 . We called you several times but we didn’t receive any response. Is it fare?? I’m writing to those who ignore our right on behalf of many innocent people. Please show us the real democracy!

The propaganda of the Islamic Regime in Iran is remarkably similar to the propaganda of Nazi Germany, both of them being religious fascism:
“The enemy is coming to replace us and change us. We will no longer be pure.”

Fascism is fascism and will always be fascism. #OpIran

We, the people of Iran, request the United Arab Emirates to take a step towards freedom of information and respect for human rights by expelling this company.

1. Religious freedom means you can either practice any religion you want or no goddamn religion at all.
2. Religious freedom does not mean you can use your beliefs to dictate what others can and cannot do.

Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
