Geraldine Valdes expressed her surprise and annoyance upon knowing that she could not make her trip to New York, for which she had already paid even her stay and participation in some events.

‘We completely lost it,’ Valdes said, adding that days before had submitted their visa applications via internet and it was rejected.

‘This clearly has to be a mistake, because we are not terrorists,’ the young woman stressed. The next day she and her husband visited the US Embassy where she was told that the solution was to apply for a B1 tourist visa, but the appointments were for a year later.

In another video, the tiktoker confirmed that the main reason for which she was denied the entry in the United States was because she had traveled to Cuba, as some network users had pointed out to her.

I went to Cuba in April, on my honeymoon, and I had no idea that the United States was not going to allow access to all those who visited that country in 2023 through the Visa Waiver,” she explained.

The news, which went viral on social networks, comes just a month after the United States and Chile signed an agreement to maintain the Visa Waiver Program that allows Chileans to visit the United States for tourism, business and transit, and stay there for 90 days.
