A phone call on Friday morning announced that he had been issued a US visa, for Sadete Mazari it was not an April Fool’s lie.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Not only was her visa stamped with the American flag stamped in her passport, but she becomes the first Albanian to receive a visa not three years as before, but 10 years according to the new visa system approved by the US government for Albanians.<\/p>\n
Top Channel journalist Muhamed Veliu met 23-year-old Mazari after she left the diplomatic headquarters on Elbasan Street.<\/p>\n
MUHAMMED VELIU-<\/b>You are the first Albanian to receive a 10-year American visa. How did you feel when Ambassador Yuri Kim was given your passport with this visa?<\/i><\/p>\n
SADETE MAZARI<\/b>–Very excited. Normally a feeling that every Albanian would have. Generally very very happy.<\/i><\/p>\n
Ambassador Yuri Kim herself handed over the visa to Sadeta at the embassy premises, commenting on Twitter that today may be April 1, but this is not a joke! April 1 marks the first day of a 10-year visa extension for Albanians obtaining tourist and business visas to the United States.<\/p>\n
SADETE MAZARI-<\/strong>He asked me about my plans, about my family bacground. He showed me how important a step it is for all of Albania for the part of travel to America since visas from 3 became 10 years. It was a very pleasant conversation. No embarrassment, no emotions. <\/i><\/p>\n MUHAMMED VELIU-<\/b>What do you intend to do with this visa?<\/i><\/p>\n SADETE MAZARI-<\/strong> In fact I had planned to go to New York City with my close friend in the summer. I have visited him before but I wanted to go with him this time and have a more unique experience.<\/i><\/p>\n MUHAMMED VELIU-<\/b>Does having a 10-year visa in your pocket increase your desire to stay and find a job that goes into other processes?<\/i><\/p>\n SADETE MAZARI-<\/strong>I think it is the opposite. When I know I have it for 10 years I can visit it whenever I want. It does not push me to get hired. Maybe in the future. I do not plan it at the moment. I just want to go there to enjoy it.<\/i><\/p>\n The selection of this 23-year-old in obtaining the first 10-year visa, at first glance seems random but knowing that American diplomacy speaks through symbolism, this shows that the future of US relations with Albania are young people.<\/p>\n For the young and old sinners of Albanian politics, they have been given a visa by giving only the prefix ‘non grata’.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
