>Ok. I'll make that call. Hope that I can have a good new to you the next time. BTW did you ever worked for the INS? It looks like you have a very good knowledge on these matters.

Hi Emanuel,

I just checked the embassy's web site. You probably want to talk to Acting Consul General-Philip Covington, Chief of Visa Operations-Philip Covington, or Chief of Nonimmigrant Visa Unit-Paul Birdsall.

There's also some information on visa denials at the US state dept's page: http://travel.state.gov/visadenials.html
