Do you know applying for Visa is not as easy as applying for passport? First and foremost, we have to go to Alliance Bank and pay them around RM500 for application fee. Then, you will need to go online to schedule an appointment with the US Embassy in KL. This is not an appointment that you can make according to your own time. It must be according to the interview schedule. In my case, I hope they will hold a session during the school holidays, otherwise I need to apply for leaves. You must appear for the interview within 1 year from the Alliance Bank fee receipt's date of purchase. Or else, another RM500 to fork out?
So yeah, then of course you have to book a flight to KL cos the interview will only be in the US Embassy in KL. Means more ka-ching! Don't even let me start on the US flight tickets. Heh. Only after they have found out that you are not a psycho (exaggeration. hehe), have brought and completed all the necessary documents and most importantly passed the interview, will they grant you the precious Visa. So yeah, going to the US ( nowadays ) for the first time is not as easy as going to other countries. Which means, if I ever want to really really fulfill my wish to go to the States next year, I must pay for the application fee asap in order to kick-start everything.
On a personal note, I also have to take into consideration whether my sis will be there when the time comes. Cos it's kinda awkward if she's not there. Heheh.
Nevertheless, this whole thing somehow excites me. After all, it's the journey that counts. :)
