Harassment in ZIA
Just few days ago my sister and her family went to ZIA to fly to USA with immigration visa. They have their USA visa on their passports and have got an immigration visa packet from the Dhaka US Embassy. This packet is addressed to the American immigration officials on arrival at the airport and nobody is allowed to open this document. This fact is known to every immigration officers in ZIA. Unfortunately, an immigration officer from ZIA indiscriminately pressed my brother-in-law and sister to open that immigration visa packet. He refused to let them go until they opened it and kept them waiting. In the meantime a gentleman came from the immigration booth and asked them about their case. They explained him that the immigration officer wanted to open their visa packet. This gentleman then explained that rude man that he is not eligible to see the paper inside the packet and my brother-in-law/sister is not allowed to open it.
It would be appreciated if our immigration, customs and airport authorities could work sincerely, be friendly and do not harass the passengers without knowing the rules.
