The USA Embassy in Bucharest recommends Romanians who have failed to get an entry visa to not try for a second time, unless their situation has recorded considerable and positive changes. The statement was made by the American ambassador Mark Gitenstein, when launching an information campaign on obtaining the temporary US visa.

According to him, one of the most delicate questions on the issue is whether the rejected applicant should try a second time to that the US visa. The American immigration law entails that rejected applicants can apply for a visa over and over again, but Ambassador Gitenstein strongly advised them not to do it. He said that the American authorities knew the situation of a person can change and said people should try again when there has been "considerable and positive changes" in their situation.

The new electronic visa request form concentrates all the previous forms into one and it is sent to the embassy to be processed, Gitenstein added.
