My friend is terrified of applying for a visa in case she is refused one. She finds immigration staff very condescending when she has gone to florida in the past. Now she needs a visa and she is all nervous about having to apply for one and wonders about "taking a chance" and not getting one and going in with the VWP which she has done legitimately in the past. She has been arrested but not charged because she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and this puts her off going back to florida.

p.s. to apply for a visa do you have to ring the embassy. have tried to find a link on website for appt for her but not very good with computers!
