Talk:Visa policy of the United States

sources." As the edit is referenced, it's still unclear why it was removed. There is no explanation about precisely what text you feel is outside neutrality. There is no viewpoint stated in the material from the reference, it just recounts information like the length of the exams and that certain nationalities require visas. Also, while wikipedia policy states that articles should be based mainly on secondary sources, this edit is among the only secondary sources on these topics in this article. It should have a more central role in the page until there are more secondary sources added on the exams, denials, and other material. About the lede, "if anything that actually makes it more ambiguous because it begs the question "so who exactly?" I agree, and this is why the edit should be "some" (perhaps asking oneself at the same time "who exactly?, which is cleared up in the next phrases) - so the reader understands from the first phrase of the article precisely the US government's visa policy: that some aliens need a visa.

979:, would you be so baffled if you'd read my edit summaries? Here it is again, you are cutting the article content, trying to simplify English you also remove information which is important. So suddenly a table that shows only overstayers who are still in the country and who arrived only via air and sea - as simply "overstayers"? Well how is that acceptable? I told you - if you wish to write it in a nicer language, go ahead. But simply cutting information out of a sentence has nothing to do with better prose. To give you an example - "After buying 2 apples John now owns them" can be rewritten to look nicer and still mean the exact same thing as "John bought 2 apples". But "John has some items" does not tell us a thing about 2 apples that was there in the first place. In this article it means that if for example the table is about only air/sea arrivals, you can't remove that information, that's not improving the prose, that's unexplained removal of information that makes the article inaccurate.-- 1155:) are much fewer in number. Think of it this way: citizens of 38 countries (that's less than the majority of the world) are eligible for visa-free entry. Citizens of the other 100+ countries around the world are not visa-free, and must apply for a visa and meet said requirements. To say that the requirement applies to "some" foreign nationals implies that it's about 50-50, which it isn't. The requirement in fact applies to most foreign nationals, so a general tone in the article's lead is more appropriate. If the French are confused or "misinformed," as you say, I would say that they should be referring to the U.S. government's official websites regarding visa requirements and not some article on Knowledge (XXG) for their information. 1976:. The only exception that I see are the first three rows, whose yes cells are blue instead of green. I had made them all green when I first made the table, but someone later changed them to blue because the visa exemption for nationals of these countries allows them to remain indefinitely and work in the US, unlike the other visa exemptions that have a limit on the period of stay and usually don't allow work. So I propose either changing the text of the first three rows to "unlimited" or something similar, or changing their color back to green. After this change, is there anything else in the table that you find unclear? 183: 80: 53: 90: 219: 384:, which is what INA 101(a)(15) defines, and not about the visas. A valid nonimmigrant visa, issued by the U.S. Dept. of State, is only a permit for an alien of the U.S. to seek entry into the U.S. in a certain nonimmigrant classification. If the alien is admitted into the U.S. by the Dept. of Homeland Security, the nonimmigrant alien will then acquire nonimmigrant status in the classification indicated on the visa. — 1240:"The term interview or exam. An interview is when people meet for a consultation, while an exam involves a detailed investigation and inspection. I would imagine the term exam appears in the reference because a visa adjudication is a close inspection of a person's intentions, economic and social status, among other things. There is also an uncertain outcome. The use of this term is referenced throughout." 1917: 1288:, not a blog. Using the State Department term instead of what appears in other references is OR and perhaps POV. Regardless of how the policy is expressed by the State Department, all citizens of Muslim majority nations presently require a visa, and this is referenced. The State Department policy is that some aliens require visas. Stating that is indeed an accurate representation of reality. 22: 672: 1632:). Certainly Brazil’s policy of charging US citizens fees in reciprocity and India’s formal complaints to the WTO are extensively covered in the media and not here. Both “exam” and “interview” should appear regarding the adjudication process. Using interview exclusively overweighs one viewpoint and is therefore 1186:

It is an editor's responsibility to explain the reasons why he or she believes the text being removed is a violation of WP policy.

Reading that GabeIglesias believes that "some" has a meaning that "implies that it's about 50-50" and Twofortnights believes the citation is from a blog and published the day before the edit, it's hard to take these editors seriously--even if this was just carelessness on their part.

About the first sentence of the page, I do not disagree that the pargraph could be better nuanced. But the US policy is that some aliens require entry visas. Some does not imply about 50-50. It means an unspecified amount. There are over 38 countries and over 500 million people who don't need visas,

It is this editor's opinion that a political discussion of the pros and cons of the H1-B program should be relegated to the full article, and that care should be taken to achieve a more balanced point of view.

A more serious problem is that the section only discusses perceived "loopholes" and has a strong anti-immigrant slant.

That page on the website of the US embassy in Hungary is outdated.

Second of all, the fact that Muslim majority countries require a visa is not a visa policy (and check the article name again now). The US visa policy is based on very clear legal criteria and religion is not one of them. In addition, you suggest how a region called "Canada, Australia, New Zealand,

The reference does not discuss visas, and seems to claim 37,149,651 foreign visitors (page 65). "171 million" is the number of boarder crossings. Many or most of the 37 million would still not have visas. (I'm new and afraid to change anything until I learn a bit more)

The State Department issued 6,603,073 non-immigrant and 470,088 immigrant visas in 2008. The total number of visas in 2008 is 7.073,161, not 171 million! This is of course not the total number of visitors, only those requiring visas.

So the last of those says "A foreign national must obtain a visa unless he is ineligible for visa-free travel." That doesn't make sense. If you are ineligible for visa-free travel then you must obtain a visa.
