Diaclaimer: yes, my experience with this is as a farang trying to help a woman get a tourist Visa for the US. Long story short, she claimed to have used an agency that stole her (and my, lol) money.
That being said, I have a Thai-American friend/colleague whose Thai parents showed me around my first trip, and even her native Thai cousins lament the difficulties in getting a Visa for visiting tbe US.
I find it so interesting, in a terrible way, how your country of origin can make traveling so difficult. As an American, who basically doesn't need a Visa to visit almost any country (that I'm aware of) for a short visit, it's been eye opening to see how difficult it can be when other countries sort of assume you're going to try and skip your Visa and stay illegally. Just another layer of privilege most Americans don't appreciate.
The only thing broken here is your attitude.
Not trying to scam anything, not trying to get married.
This post was more about the inequality I've seen in people's ability to move free about the world, but thanks for focusing on the perceived scandalous part. ✌️
Cool, I acknowledged that.
But people seem interested in sharing personal experiences.
Thanks for being the post police though. 🙏🏻

Not stacking what you're splitting.
I'm not claiming this is my first experience with inequities, but it's a very specific one I hadn't encountered before, and relevant to this particular subreddit, with folks who might have personal or anecdotal experience with it as well.
I specifically stated it's one of many privileges US Citizens might take for granted.
