Obtaining a visa for the US is an awful hassle these days, and anyone who ever stood in line at a US consulate would surely prefer spending a fun weekend in Guatemala to this experience. I mean, really, 75% of visa holders would probably prefer
getting robbed in Guatemala to returning to a US consulate. Btw., the true visa cost (travel to the interview site, hotel stays, etc.) is significantly higher than the visa fee.
