Play the semantics but as an applicant for which I pay fee and fulfill expensive requirements, I have a right to know that there is a regulation in place for malpractices and I'm not dependent to apply on a roll dice.

@Pete ******

and if the embassy labels it as a 6 month visa fee. Do they still declare it as DTV fees to the government? What if people at the embassy start doing it on purpose for the profit?

@Elías *******

sure that's not an issue. But I better hope the government has some regulations so embassies don't just start issuing 6 month visas and keep the remainder to themselves.

That's just my blunt of saying: Don't keep spamming the 'check website before you apply' comments. We all know that. As a customer, I'm just questioning how they are regulating in case of malpractices which I'm sure happens.There is no 'help' coming from such comments.

I'm not questioning the country, I'm questioning the embassy. What if they do it on purpose to keep the profits.

You guys are too much up ur a*s. I'm only asking these questions as a customer and contributor to their economy. They aren't doing some charity work. Only asking qts for transparency

DTV_BegPecker usually a 6 month visa is given simply cuz they might think I won't need a 5 year visa even though I happen to qualify for the visa on all criteria.

So it's not a simple rejection for not meeting requirements, but they assuming that I don't need this long of a visa.

Also I'm curious if the whole fees are registered with the government or they might just do this to pull out profits
