I can’t seem to get past this.

"My daughter lives in L.A. I've been trying to go visit her -- I'd love to see Disneyland -- but my visa application has been rejected twice. It costs $100 to apply, and that's about as much as I make here in a week. One has to go to the embassy in person, and that takes up a whole day. I can't afford to try again. They keep your money whether you're accepted or not."
Let’s see, airfare, food, lodging and Disneyland. That’s going to something like $1500 to $2000 I’d guess and there’s a hang-up over $100? It sounds like the woman couldn’t afford the trip if the visa was free.
