Hello,
Today my wife got her h-4 visa denied for the 2nd time
Here is the conversation that my wife had:
VO: Can I have your passport and spouses 1797
Me: I handed over the passport and i797
VO : Looking at the 1797 , he asked what employer does your spouse work for ?
Me: He works for YYYY in San Francisco, California.
VO: When did you get married ?
Me: We got married on xxx DEC 2016.
VO: Do you have kids ?
Me: No Sir.
VO: Please read the pamphlet
VO: After typing in for a few minutes he asked me will you be joining your spouse in California ?
Me: Yes Sir I will be joining my spouse in California
VO: I see you have been reject an L1 earlier
Me: Yes Sir
VO: Are you employed right now ?
Me: Yes sir I am employed by YYYY Inc in bay area pursuant to H4 EAD but I am on leave right now.
VO: He told me that he will be back in a minute
Me: Sure Sir
VO: He came back after a minute and said I am cannot approve you visa , read this pamphlet for more information and gave me a 214 ( b ).
Thank you.
I am not sure how to handle this situation now. I wanted to know if we can appeal to the consulate in this case. Also, will it help if I go to get my stamping with my wife? I am not able to give a reason how L-1B rejection is triggering H-4 visa rejection. My wife was certain for getting the visa approved till they asked about L-1. Also does this mean she will have to resign from her and job and then come?
