Honestly, it feels kind of unfair. Like, India is a massive country with a ton of students, tourists, and business travelers, so it seems strange that countries like South Korea are in the VWP but India isn't. When I talk with my friends, I hear a lot of people frustrated about having to fill out so much paperwork and worry about getting rejected. It makes you feel like you're being judged just because of where you're from.

People say it’s about security and people overstaying visas, but that just makes things harder for everyone, even regular families who wanna visit Disneyland or go to college. To me, it looks like politics more than anything else sometimes. I get that governments have a job to keep people safe, but I wish they looked at how many people from India just wanna go for fun or work, not to break any rules. At the end of the day, it just seems kinda random, and I think it’d be more fair if everyone got a shot based on who they are, not just what passport they have. I've seen so many stories online about people giving up on trips because of all this, and that sucks.
