At the behest of my employer I submitted my USA crew visa renewal application a couple of months ago. In an effort to avoid being approved I named every ****ty tinpot totalitarian wartorn ISIS-loving Bin Laden-cheering country (plus Iran) I could think of as having been recently visited on work trips.
End result - I'm now the proud holder of a USA crew visa and will be rostered accordingly. They don't care.
Having been there it's not such a bad place and the people are generally pretty nice when they're not raving. They just need to get over this thing with alcohol.
