1. Immaturity at US Embassies is unfortunate and it happens. Sometimes sadistic immaturity. I hear reports of this from my clients. I'm not saying all State Department people are like that. Probably just a few. But there are enough to make the USA look like a club populated by petty teenaged tyrants.
