Getting a US visa is no easy feat, and one viral video is proving just how unpredictable the process can be. The internet is buzzing after an Indian man revealed why his friend’s visa application got rejected — and let’s just say the reason left people both laughing and scratching their heads. Shared by Instagram vlogger Jay, the clip has quickly become a talking point online.
In the video, the man explains that his friend was turned down because he admitted to never having stepped outside Delhi. The visa officer’s response? A blunt suggestion to “see your own country first” before thinking about the United States. Meanwhile, the man recounting the incident has already travelled across 29 Indian states himself, highlighting the irony of the situation.
The unusual exchange has caught everyone’s attention, sparking debates on whether travel experience within India should really matter when applying for a US visa. Some are calling the officer’s reasoning unfair, while others find it hilarious and oddly practical.
Internet reacts
Social media users jumped into the debate with mixed takes. Some felt India itself has endless beauty to explore, listing destinations like Uttarakhand, Himachal, Kerala, Ladakh, Udaipur, Jaipur, and Jaisalmer. Others highlighted how they had travelled across most Indian states and even multiple continents, yet still found unmatched peace at home. A few criticized the visa officer’s stance as “cringey” and argued it restricted progress, while some praised it as a push to boost Indian tourism. Many, however, found the reasoning odd and inconsistent.
