if all else fails...
Tell the official (male OR female) that you are a legendary lover of women. You love many women all over the world (be sure to tell him how hot you rank the American women compared to others, but indeed it's so hard to choose just the women of one place). You may only stay in America for a short while, but cannot stay... there are many women waiting for you elsewhere in the world. That should do it!
