Shame on you US Embassy TZ.

[UmkhontoweSizwe]

Yes, shame on you because you are so mean to the point of violating human rights. Your country claims to be champions of human right in the world, but you here in Tanzania act insanely and contrary to what the US claims to be; shame on you!

Guys, I know you're still wondering over what went wrong with the US Embassy. Let me tell you the story that aroused my anger. This evening I have been informed that the US Embassy has denied a US visa to a 16 years old girl; yes, a 16 years old girl! She applied for a visa to go join her family (both parents and siblings) in the US (her father is in school there). She was denied by the claim that it seems her father wants to take all his relatives to the US, which is not true because he only has taken his immediate family (wife & children). It doesn't make sense to call "relatives" someone's immediate family

How can you deny a "totally" depend child to join her family?? I don't get it! Is being with her family not her right? Is denying her that right not a violation of human rights? How can you act like that to an underage child? I say it again, shame, shame, shame on you US embassy.

My take:
US Embassy: Do you know how you're affecting, emotionally, socially, psychologically, this young girl's future by keeping her separated from her family? How would you feel if someone does that to your own child?

Do unto others what you would want them to do to you.

Mhh labda kuna kingine behind this but pole sna kwa binti na familia yake, naomba tufafanulie zaidi baba anakaa kwa muda gani huko maana wao watu wa ubalozini wanasababu zao ndo maana wamkataa kutoa visa!!

 

[UmkhontoweSizwe]

Ndugu yangu, hakuna ufafanuzi zaidi ya nilivyoeleza kwenye post. Binti kaambiwa tu kwamba, "inaonekana baba yako anataka kupeleka 'ndugu' zake wote marekani, kwa hiyo hatukupi visa. Habari ikaishia hapo.

 

[Mzawa Halisi]

Kwanza pole sana, sijui wewe ni mzazi au mlezi wa huyo binti. La msingi kujua ni kuwa kila nchi ina taratibu zake kuhusu masuala ya uhamiaji. Kwenye website ya Ubalozi wa marekani tanzania, sehemu ya visa imesisitizwa kuwa ni jukumu la msafiri kuthibitisha kuwa atarudi nchi yake. Soma nukuu hapa chini

Consular officers do not have standard questions that they ask each applicant. They tailor their questions to fit each applicant's personal situation in Tanzania. The primary criterion for most visa categories is that you establish your intent to leave the United States and return to a residence in your home country. You should be ready to discuss in detail your job and income, your family situation, and reasons you must return to Tanzania after your visit to the United States. In assessing your credibility, the officer may ask about the why you are traveling, how you are financing your trip, and what your travel arrangements are.

Hata hivyo maelezo yako hayaonyeshi ni sababu ipi hasa huyo binti amekataliwa visa, ulijikita zaidi katika kutoa lawama. Tupe sababu hasa ni zipi? Mpaka hapa mimi sijaona kama kuna kosa lolote.

 

[MzalendoHalisi]

Ndo maana sipendi kuomba Visa US!

Halafu wakija Tz..watu wanawapapatikia!

Mwambie babamtu amwandikie barua ya manung'uniko local Congressman/Congresswoman wa district anayoishi. It may take some time before a reply is forthcoming therefrom, but its worth the wait. It usually works, trust me!

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Look, kwenda Marekani ni privilege na sio right. Kwa hiyo mtu ukinyimwa visa usijilize lize. Ebo

HAhahahah mazee ngoja ni nyuti naogopa Keko kamanda!

 

[Shamu]

Can you explain more. Do you know if her parents are US permanent residence? or they live in US with student visa?

 

[Mvina]

Binafsi nadhani labda kama kuna taratibu hakukamilisha maana mbona mi nilipata visa pale bila hata matatizo huenda hana sababu za msingi za kuja huku US.Namshauri wasiliane na mzazi wake ili kama kuna document zinatakiwa basi amtumie.Pole bint!

 

[MwanaFalsafa1]

Kwanza sheria na sifa ya kupata visa unabidi ulist kisha tuone na hiyo visa process ya binti huyo ime kwendaje mpaka kukataliwa. You have to know that U.S. officer can deny anyone a visa pasipo kutoa sababu zozote. We might not like it but ndiyo sheria zao na wana zifuata to the book. So give more details please haswa za huyo binti. Hatuwezi kuhukumu kwa kuangalia upande mmoja tu. Saa nyingine ni upande wa muombaji ndiyo hawa fuati taratibu zinazo takiwa au kutimiza sifa zinazo hitajika ndiyo maana wana nyimwa visa.

 

[Maria Roza]

Naomba nisaidie kitu kimoja huyo binti ana miaka 16 na kama sikosei atakuwa anasoma sekondary, Hivyo alikuwa anataka visa ya aina gani hasa?? kwa mtazamo wangu kama alikuwa anataka for long stay bas waliona kabisa anataka kusoma Us na kutumia mwanya wa baba mtu! Kama ilikuwa ni visit tuu bas sidhani baba mtu anaweza kumleta binti yake kwa sababu yeye mwenyewe ni mwanafunzi! jaribu kutufafanulia zaidi japo sio mtaalam sna wa Visa nitakusaidia kwa upeo wangu! Pole sna jipe moyo.

Yes, jamaa wana discretion ya kukupa au kukunyima bila sababu yoyote. Ila na watu wasisahau kuwa kwenda Marekani sio haki yao bali fadhila(?) (privilege)

 

[Bluray]

US Immigration policy is rotten to the core, I hope the Obama Administration - as much as it is burdened by the current economic crisis and all that- can find time and resources to fix it.This is a policy issue, nothing specifically against Tanzania.The consulars are given so much discretionary room, the default is not favorable etc.

However the complicity of Tanzanian may render the the principles of reciprocity unheeded if not impractical or unusable.I regret to inform the board that, our terms of trade and economic position do not allow our government much of a privilege of sovereign confidence or sayinng in settling these matters .

Hapa ndipo unathibitisha UPUMBAVU wako!

Tangu lini kwenda Marekani ikawa "privilege"? Kwenda Marekani ni sawa na kwenda nchi nyingine yoyote, hata kama unaenda Nairobi! Hakuna privilege hapo!

Wewe ni mmojawapo wa watu wanaoitukuza Marekani, na kuifanya kuonekana kama Nchi Namba 1 duniani, kitu ambacho SIO KWELI! Marekani haina tofauti na nchi nyingine yoyote!

Mimi nilidhani ungejivunia UTAIFA wako, na kusema kuja Tanzania ni "privilege", si kwenda Marekani.

Nimeishi Marekani takriban miaka 5 na ushee, naijua vilivyo. Hakuna cha privilege wala nini. Mwaka 99, niliporudi huko, nilikuta nchi ikiwa kwenye hali mbaya ya uchumi kuliko nilivyoiacha mwaka 89! Huniambii kitu!

Usitufanye watoto hapa! Bora Tanzania kuliko Marekani!

Kuhusu huyo Binti mwenye miaka 16 aliyenyimwa haki yake ya kuwa na familia yake, anaweza kumwandikia barua Senator Hillary Clinton, akalalamika, au mtu yeyote anaweza kuiandika, kwa niaba yake, na kisha kuitisha Press Conference, awaalike BBC na other International news media reps, kisha tusikie majibu yake. Kama hakuna atakayewajibishwa huko Ubalozini, sijui.

Never underestimate the power of the media, the Fourth Estate!

./Mwana wa Haki[/QUOTE]mmh mkuu uliyosema ni sawa lakini hapo mwisho naona ni soo,huoni kama yanaweza kuchimbuliwa mengine,maana nnachokumbuka ni kwamba babaake ana student visa,sasa family yooote imfuate huko??lakini poa nadhani kuna mahali kuna tatizo mpaka akanyimwa hiyo visa

 

[TANMO]

Marekani Marekani, kuna nini cha zaidi huko?

 

[Magezi]

Nadhani huyo binti alijichanganya alipoulizwa maswali na ofisa wa ubalozi. Kinacho takiwa kufanywa ni kujua, kama baba na mama wa huyo binti wako US tayari, basi tujue wanaishi huko kwa visa gani, STV au vipi? na kama ni STV basi ajaribu kuomba tena lakini kwa sababu tofauti.

Lakini kusema uanze kuiweka issue kwenye international media, mtaona mengi hata baba mtu anaweza kutimuliwa kama ikigundulika amepeleka na familia ili hali anasoma kwa muda mfupi na kurudi.
