I was looking over the forms I’ll have to fill in to get my latest US Visa, and I was struck by this question on the DS-157 form.
bq. Do You Have Any Specialized Skills or Training, Including Firearms,
Explosives, Nuclear, Biological, or Chemical Experience?
Since I’m applying for a specialist skill visa, you’d kinda think I should answer “Yes” just reading the first part of the question. But I think the words after “Including” rather change the meaning of it all. At least I think I think they do. I hope I can’t get brought up on perjury charges for trying to hide my extensive philosophical skills from consular officials.
