Hi, I'm an Indian citizen currently residing in Saudi Arabia since March 2015 after getting married in January.
I applied for the visa in March 2016 in Jeddah I was handed the 214 b form. This was how the interview went.
ME: gm
VO : how long have you been in saudi for?
Me: about a year
Vo: purpose of visit
Me: holiday and to visit my husbands aunt
Vo: how long and where?
Me: about two weeks, we'll see the east coast. Husband went recently and loved NYC so really wanted to show me around
VO: show husbands visa and employee letter
Me: he's in a government job here and makes 1 lac
VO: who'll be sponsoring for your trip?
Me: husbands uncle.. (Show them the invitation letter)
VO: have you traveled anywhere in last 3 years
Me: Dubai, Mauritius for honeymoon and Saudia
VO: sorry, you don't meet the requirements of the visa. Reapply again when circumstances are different.
I was carrying all my documents to show strong home ties, I've visited 4-5 more countries but that was before 3 years so didn't mention. I was told to only answer questions that are asked. I feel I didn't elaborate much on my home ties, how I have family and house in India etc
Now I'm moving to India this June. Thinking of reapplying next year. Why must I have gotten rejected ? And what should I do to not have it happen again?
