Apparently the American government doesn’t like that idea, so you can get your visa application rejected simply for being young. You have more chances if you’re married (I’m not), own a house (I don’t) and have a good job (at least I have that). The problem isn’t so much getting denied… it’s the fact that you have to pay $130 just to apply and you don’t get the money back.

I *am* planning a trip to the States next year, but I’m (hopefully) going for a friend’s wedding in July, so… still no Blizzcon :P

Although, if you were to visit the US longer on a vacation, is it really that hard for an Eastern European to get a tourist visa?

Given how much I drank the night before, the entire room was my floppy ride.

The odds of me ever getting to a Blizzcon are really slim due to the price and hassle of getting there from Europe (not to mention the US visa I’m not very likely to get), but now I *really* want a guild meet! All my previous meetings with “internet people” were extremely cool, so I hope we can get the guild together and have as much fun as you did with yours :)
