My friend and his friend went to the consulate again today. They got all the documents they required. Still the lady at the consulate said the hotel reservations must contain the names of both people. She refused to give visas. My friend thinks he won't probably get the visa in time as he plans to leave on Friday. He's applying at the Italian consulate in Los Angeles. He booked hotels room through nwa.com website and it doesn't allow him to add one more person to the itinerary though the rooms are for 2 people. Any suggestion? Thanks.
