My US B1/B2 VISA REJECTED TWICE IN 10 DAYS UNDER 214 ( B) , WHAT CAN I DO
I recently got job in US MNC on 1st June 2018 and company HR asked me to apply for tourist visa and come for 3 weeks training at Illinios USA. I got this job for Bhopal location and my permanent positing is in Bhopal only

I am Mechanical Engineer from NIT Bhopal with 20 years experience in leading Indian companies i.e. Godrej & Boyce, IFB Industries and Indian Railways and majority of these years ( almost 18 ) I have been posted in Bhopal location only .

I have my own residence in Bhopal since last 30 years with my wife in a permanent job in Bhopal and
my daughter stdying in IISER Bhopal so I have firm ties in India and my native place Bhopal, Financially I am sound too as I am in Senior position with Good salary.

So this is really heart breaking for me as twice in 10 days they have rejected citing that you have newly joined and how can they call you for training for three weeks so soon.

Can anybody advice me what to do as this can impact my job .

what is the way to get qualified in the tourist visa . Is there any expert lawyer or counselor who can help me out in this professionally.

Please respond urgently .
Thanks .

B2 Visitor Visa for Dependent Family & my Sibling
Hi,

I have my H1B VISA till 2020 & my dependent's visa still Not Approved & in Requested stage for 9 months.

Last month i applied B2(visitor's) visa for my parents & came to US last week. They are staying for a month here in US.

I would also want to apply B2 Visa for my dependent's family as well next month. We are also planning to apply Visa for our siblings as well. My Dependent's sibling -14 yrs Old & my Sibling is 21 years old.

Will there be any constraints to bring our siblings to US in visitor's visa? I saw in some post that Parents have high possibility to get Visitor visa.

Is that a problem to invite my dependent families when her petition is not yet approved?

Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Thank You!

How soon can we reapply after rejection?
Hi,

We recently got a rejection of B2 visa for US. My sister has a green card and my brother in law has an American passport. She is going to have her first baby in coming months due to which she invited us to help her out. This was the main reason which we told to the VO for travelling to the US upon asking the purpose which i think became the main reason of rejection because after getting the rejection i read everywhere that they surely reject visa on this reason. Also, i wrote the name of my brother in law as our sponsor of the trip which also became the issue i think.

I have found the mistakes that we should have written the Self in the sponsor of the trip and also the purpose should be the tourism only.

Also, i found that being a single and just a freelancer without having any company's association, i could be rejected again thats why i dropped the idea of going to US.

But, my sister really needs my mother so I want to know now that can my mother get an approval by reapplying after 2 months with the different purpose, changing the sponsor to SELF, and writing in the employment section of the DS-160 that she gets rent from the property she owns along with telling that she is a homemaker.

I also want to know, do they write the main reasons of rejection in their systems or do they write only what they gave us the reason of rejection?

Waiting for you people's help

Thank you

B2 visa appointment confirmation profile details
I have taken B2 visitor visa appointment for my parents.

While submitting applicants profile I have entered Father name as
{Last Name} {First Name}

So Applicants Name display on appointment page as below :
Applicant Name: Last Name, First Name

But, on DS-160 I have entered name as "Last Name, First Name Middle Name" which is matching with passport.

Can anyone know/confirm if we can update firstname on appointment page as per passport or will it be fine to keep it as is and we can attend interview.

B2 Visa Rejected
Hi Guys,

I'm a 25 year old female, married with 3 kids and have a good stable job. This forum has really been a great help with my preparation for my interview.

I went with my daughter for our interview on 16th July, however, we were not approved. See details below

Me: Goodmorning
VO: Goodmorning, may I have your passports please

VO: Is this your daughter?
Me: Yes

VO: Why do you want to go to the US?
Me: For vacation with my daughter

VO: What do you do for work?
Me: I'm an Operational Technician (supervisor) at the Bauxite Plant

VO: How long have you been working there?
Me: 7 years

VO: Are you legally married or in a common law relationship?
Me: Legally married

VO: How many children do you have?
Me: 3

VO: How old are the other two?
Me: 1 and 5

VO: Have you ever traveled outside of Guyana before?
Me: Yes

VO: Where?
Me: I was in the US twice when I was younger, Canada, Barbados, St. Vincent and Trinidad & Tobago

VO: What were the last two countries?
Me: Barbados in 2016 and St Vincent last year

VO: How long did you stay in Barbados?
Me: 4 days

VO: Did the kids go with you on these trips?
Me: They went with me to St Vincent but not in Barbados

VO: Why aren't they coming with you now?
Me: I don't think I would be able to manage all three of them on that long trip by myself

VO: What does your husband do for work?
Me: He's a contract driver for the hospital

VO: Why isn't he going with you
Me: He can't leave right now since he's on a contract

VO: Typing on computer

VO: Thank you for your time but according to the US Law I cannot give you a visa. *sips coffee and hands back passports*

Me: Thank you.

I was almost sure we would get it. I don't know what went wrong? Can you please let me know if it would be better to apply with my entire family next year? But I also saw in some cases they hardly give out visas to an entire family.

Please let me know what went wrong.

B2 visa approved on the 3rd attempt
Hello everybody,

I have been going through the forum for a long time now for guidance and tips to succeed in the visitor visa interview.

A brief synopsis about my background:
LIC agent
Two school going children
Wife bank employee
My mother stays with me
Visiting my sister-in-law who is very sick

First time, all four of us went and the vo asked a many questions.

vo why are you going to the US?
we visiting my wife's sister who is seriously ill

vo why are you all travelling together?
we To see her and give her some emotional support

vo what do you do sir? what do you do mam?
we told

vo how long are you going to stay?
we 2 weeks

vo who is paying for the trip?
we self

vo what is your income?
we told

vo Are these your real children?
we Yes, we showed proof which she looked as if the passport proof is not enough.

vo How long have you both been working?
we told

vo Went inside and discussed with another vo for 10 minutes, came and told us "Sorry, I cannot issue the visa, better luck next time".
we May we know the reason for refusal?
vo It is in this letter, read it thank you.

Two months later, my wife alone went for the interview as she was suggested on the forum. This time the interview was short and she was refused immediately with just 2 questions.

vo why are you applying alone? where is your family?
wife they cannot travel now, leave expired and children have school

vo Have you travelled abroad before?
wife. No

vo. Sorry, I cannot issue the visa

On her way out of the consulate, she spoke to some other visa applicants and she came to know that she was not alone in the reasonless refusals. She met an old lady who was refused 4 times who was travelling to see her daughter and grand children. This lady was elated as she got the visa on her 5th attempt and she spoke on phone to someone and thanked them and cried.

My wife asked this lady for help and she was given the contact details of this consultant called visa vikings. we approached them and they asked us to contact after 3 months which we did. They gave some instructions and looked in to all the documents and corrected the applications online. They gave us a date and time for the interview and asked me and my wife to go for the interview. we were given counselling on how to take the interview and answer appropriately

This time both of us applied together as instructed. Most of the questions were almost the same and lasted approximately 5 minutes. We were granted visa but with only one entry and one month which we honestly did not expect. The consultant told us that we can renew and get a multiple entry after our travel. I have come back and my wife is still in the US taking care of her sister with authorised extension of her visa. Anyone needing help like me can contact the consultant on 9949938272. I wish everyone all the best!
