you mean to say, the Embassy will no longer issue affidavit of support if the visa is acquired from a travel agency? if that's the case then only immediate family members can only be applied for a visa? how about cousins, friends, fiance/fiancees?? for sure, immigration here will point us to travel agencies and hotels to acquire visas for them. what will happen now to - i'm sure, hundreds of those who were issued visas by travel agencies? they can no longer use those visas because they won't be allowed to leave by the immigration since they don't have affidavits of support??? this makes things more complicated if this is truly the case.
