I haven't been able to get a straight answer as to when this will change. Do you have any insight on when it may be possible to get a letter of invitation from the Gov? Or when the regs will change as to I don't need the official invitation letter. Is there a reason that it is harder to get an F visa for banking than it is for another industry?Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003902883661356177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5938091054388862522.post-44416892531975205852008-10-06T19:17:00.000-07:002008-10-06T19:17:00.000-07:00emeraldstar,embassies usually have separate rules ...emeraldstar,<BR/><BR/>embassies usually have separate rules about visa for diplomats and embassy personnel.
