May I ask what nationality your passport is in general ?

I have a tunisian work-visa due to an occupation in the tourism industry 2 years ago. The only situation an officer asked for it was when I went to the US Consulate in Frankfurt to get my Visa. One sentence explanation and that was it... It is a german passport so not a big issue.

I can imagine that if you have a non-western passport plus arabic stamps there are officers in whose eyes this is not a good combination
