We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?
"Why should I be singled out" - because YOU are applying for the visa, the US is not asking you to come. You need the US, the US does not need you. Secondly, whataboutism is a very weak argument when one breaks the law.
And as it happens, I completely agree with you - full disclosure, I am a student in England. There is enough talk in western societies of people being deceived about the benefits of immigration. Trust me, they literally don't want you - nobody, British or Americans, left/liberal or right/conservative. In their eyes, the net immigration statistics are out of control and they have royally fucked themselves. They would view taking another loudmouth social media activist as more fucking of themselves. A portion of their political class (and their population) literally believe that taking in people like the OP is making their borders less secure. Trust me, I have had four years to observe this phenomenon. Do with what I have said as you will. Downvoters, bring your web bots to do their worst; mods who prefer mealy-mouthed euphemisms over harsh expressions of reality, block this post from publication and live in your contrived bliss, but that doesn't take away from the facts.
2. Remember what somebody else has pointed out, those are Americans, you are a foreigner. You are asking to go to their country.
3. Please do not leave that box blank. Overall, better to disclose. The last thing you want them saying is that they rejected your application because you withheld relevant information.
Criticize the government of the day, but be the first in taking all relaxation and benefits offered by government of the state.
Anyways, they might check it out so its better to delete it, they carry out proper background check before giving visas.
Padhai karo. Settle ho jao. Faltu things mein deemag mat lagao.
I have not posted anything illegal. Many students at Columbia and Harvard have said the same thing I have said. Literally every second in the US has shown solidarity with BLM and Antifa and condemned Israel. Why should I be singled out?
