If you are experiencing a lot of stress over this doubt is almost certainly an issue for you. If you "knew" this would work, which seems to be mindset required, you would not stress. For instance, if you called a friend who can get you a visa in 2 days and has done so on numerous occasions you would not experience the anxiety, you would make the request and then wait on it's arrival ,while making plans for travel.

I agree that immediate action may be required sometimes, but I feel that they are often the result of bad circumstances/desperate situations that you created through mis-application of mind. I also hear the battle raging in your mind about how (or if) all this stuff works, until you are convinced you will create varied results which will reflect your confusion over the issue.
Hmmm...that's right, there was actually a person here who was going to arrange a visa for me without me leaving the country, but on the day his brother (my former "friend") was supposed to meet with me to deal with my problem, my former friend and I had yet another misunderstanding, we missed each other, he thought I stood him up, I thought he stood me up and we didn't talk to each other for 3 days. And being on bad terms with my former friend, it would not have been right to take advantage of the generosity of his brother. Needless to say, I lived to regret that misunderstanding.

I had no doubt about getting the visa - it was a breeze to get the visa. Everything I had to do to get to where I could apply for it again all went wrong. Ironically, getting the visa was the only easy thing about my trip.

But I don't want to box this issue into one little example, I gave many others, and, as people are always speaking about LoA in general terms, I hoped for an answer in general terms, as in the link to the other thread, not relating to my one little situation.

I don't understand what cylon said. Who am I trying to convince of what?

I don't doubt that this works, because it is working fine for lots of other people, I just don't know how to do it, evidently. This visa is the first material thing that I ever got by applying I-M, even though it's been almost a year since I began trying. I get reminded of the Monkey's Paw story though, where someone wishes for a lot of money and then someone he's very close to dies and he inherits the money, but he is suffering because of how he got it - that is happening and has happened to me so that I've gotten a little fear about manifesting things. I also remember something Bill Cosby said in one of his stand-up comedy shows some decades ago about when his children were born - he said something like he and his wife asked God for children, but he said you must be more specific with God when you ask for things, because God will play jokes on you, he said God gave him brain-damaged children -well, it's a joke, but it's the point of it that I am referring to.
