    OP


    Good on you for trying to get your visa the correct way, not just lying to the Border agency.


    The chances of you being stopped , if I am reading your initial post correctly, will increase as you seem to be of an Ethnic Background.


    You know how wired up the USA is, they think everyone is out to kill them.


    Do it the way you have said, if refused, you at least know you have tried and if Refused At least you wont be spending any money in the fast being God Awful Country!

    Well, one of my friends was badly affected by racial abuse, and she is white English...

    And while I struggle to see anything good about the USA, I have to admit that they are very serious about avoiding discrimination on racial grounds. So long as the OP does not have a beard and wear white robes, he is no more likely to be selected for special attention than I am.
