B1/B2 US visa denial for "strong ties to home country"

[samenchav]

I'll be in Canada next month on a working holiday permit and would like to travel to and from the US. I'm an Australian citizen and am considering applying for a B1/B2 visa at the US consulate in Toronto to achieve this.

I haven't lived in Australia for almost a year and I am concerned that I might be denied the visa for this reason. I still have family/friends/bank accounts/insurance there but it's possible I won't return to Australia until the end of my work permit in Canada (2 years).

Will this work against me when proving "strong ties" to Australia? I've also visited the US twice in 2013 (one 90 day, and one week long stay). I'm currently in Ireland and have citizenship here too.

My ultimate aim is to secure a job in Canada, but pursue work in the US and get an E3 visa to move to the US. I would like the B visa to attend job interviews. I have no intention of overstaying or working illegally.

Any help/past experiences would be helpful.

When applying for a B1/B2 visa, it's important to demonstrate strong ties to your home country as it helps establish your intent to return after your temporary visit to the United States. Strong ties typically include family, employment, property, and other social and economic connections. Given that you have been living outside of Australia for almost a year and you plan to stay in Canada for two years, it could potentially be a factor that the consular officer considers when evaluating your visa application. However, it doesn't automatically mean that you will be denied a B1/B2 visa. You can still provide evidence of your ties to Australia, such as your family, friends, bank accounts, insurance, and any other relevant documents that demonstrate your intent to return after your temporary stay in the United States. Having visited the United States before and having a legitimate purpose, such as attending job interviews, can also support your visa application. It's important to provide all necessary documentation, such as invitation letters from potential employers in the U.S., proof of your job search in Canada, and any other relevant documents that demonstrate your purpose for traveling to the United States and your intention to abide by the visa regulations. Each visa application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and the final decision rests with the consular officer. It's recommended that you consult with the U.S. consulate in Toronto or an immigration lawyer to get personalized advice based on your specific circumstances and goals.
