Giving a US Visa is I admit a very sensitive issue and more so since the events of September 11, 2001. Who can blame them for being cautious?
What I find is very maddening (hence madness) is that the criminals and would-be terrorists have no trouble getting into the country while the poor unsuspecting innocent will be subjected to the third degree and then not get a Visa or a refund of the application fee. If that is not madness I don't know what is!

Smart Choice Madness
There's some serious madness going on at TSTT. Has been for a long time, no news right? But this is a very current form of madness that is quite dangerous if left unchecked and I feel a certain responsibility to alert the population of Trinidad and Tobago so they know what they are up against.
These are just some warnings about Smart Choice...which, it turns out, may not be such a smart choice for some customers.
First, getting on the plan. It's not as simple as calling the 800-DEAL number because you have to then wait much longer than if you had called 824-8788 so please be aware of that. They do tell you, your service will start in a few days, but that's the furthest from the truth...in actuality it is more like 3-4 weeks.
Second, being on the plan. This is for internet customers. If you are not on TSTT internet service, being on Smart Choice will cost you extra because you are billed per-min for your call to the ISP number
Third, be aware that cell calls are not included in the plan. It is only for landlocked phone lines. And I'm sure 900 numbers are also excluded! If you are not on the Gold plan, be sure to check your call times so you don't go over the limit, because then you will be charged for those extra minutes.
