Does having a Pakistani visa on my passport make it more difficult to get an American visa?
I am an Indian Citizen planning to travel to Pakistan on a business visa. Once I have the Pakistani visa on my passport, will it be more difficult for me to get a visa to the USA? I intend to travel to the USA roughly six months after my travel to Pakistan.
