text: why does us make it difficult 4 people from east europe who want to travel to us, but make it easy for others?   they don't make it harder for eastern europeans than many other nations, but some few nations (including much of western europe) do have an easier access.  this is based upon the risk of visa violations.  it is believed that residents of norway, for example, are much less likely to overstay their visas than a resident of bosnia, for example.  but it isn't specific to eastern europe.  most of the world falls into the same category.
