Once upon a time, TANA was a prestigious organization. Today, it is facing the scrutiny of US authorities due to alleged scams and other disgraceful incidents within the organization.
The recent siphoning and misuse of TANA funds have become scandalous news, shaking trust in the organization. Authorities are now viewing every aspect of TANA with suspicion.
Amid this situation, fresh reports indicate that new applicants approaching the US Consulate for a B1/B2 visa are facing stern rejections when presenting TANA invitation letters, according to insider information.
When we approached concerned individuals to verify these claims, it was stated that such rejections have always occurred periodically for Telugu organizations due to a lack of proper documentation from candidates. However, this time the number of rejections is higher than expected.
The concerned person also stated that TANA is now trying to invite guests attending the NATS event in Florida, which is happening around the same time, to ensure enough attendees for the conference.
This means those already holding valid B1/B2 visas can travel to the US for the events, but no new visas are being granted on TANA letters.
On the other hand, there is growing concern that even if guests land in the US, they may face questions or scrutiny at the port of entry when presenting a TANA invitation letter or stating that they are attending a Telugu conference.
This is still speculative, and only time will tell how the situation unfolds, especially considering the strict enforcement policies of ICE.
