  • B2 Visa denied, please help me find why

    Hi, today on 29th of June, in Vietnam, me and my mother went to the Ho Chi Minh City consulate for a visa appointment. We need the visa to visit our sister on her wedding date (13/08/2016)

    Me: hello

    Officer: hello

    - I put in me and my mother's visa

    Officer: What is the purpose of your visit

    Me: We want to be at my sister's (and my mother's daughter) wedding on 13/08

    Officer: How long will you be staying

    Me: I will be staying for 2 weeks, just for the wedding, as I only have 14 days of vacation. My mother will stay for 4 weeks. My sister will guide my mother back after 4 weeks

    Officer: What is your sister's job?

    Me: She's currently an intern working for Walgreen. She studied in Xavier University for 6 years. This is her last. It's been a while since we get to see her. She has only been back when my father died

    Officer: How did she come to America?

    Me: She came to study

    Officer: What is your job? (to my mother)

    Mother: small retails (she said after I tap her back because she was distracted)

    Me: And renting out apartment rooms and storefronts (my mother is old and has bad memory, and she was feeling distracted)

    Officer: And what is your job? (to me)

    Me: I work as a restaurant manager assistant (then I tell him the location and name of the restaurant)

    Officer: I'm sorry but I will have to refuse your application for visa

    Me: Excuse me, but could I know the reason?

    Officer: Please read this paper (as he hand me the B2 denial paper)

    Me: Thank you

    During the interview, he only held on to the passport. We were prepared give him other documents that prove we have ties in Vietnam by holding them readily in our hand, but he didn't look at us during that time. Is it required that we push the documents in through the windows without the Officer's request?

    And please tell me if there's anything we shouldn't have said during the interview. Thank You

    PS: My sister acquired US Citizenship during her study in the US

    I've just remembered something
    The Officer asked if either of us have had any experience travelling outside of Vietnam

    For me, it was Cambodia and Singapore
    My mother hasn't traveled outside of Vietnam. His expression changed a bit after that. Is it really necessary to have traveled outside of Vietnam? My mother is already 60 years old so it will be quite hard to for her to travel alone

      I am going to highlight the reasons that probably led to the denial.

      Vietnamese citizen- high immigration risk country

      Widow- Many children who live in the U.S. try and bring over their aging parents here especially widowed so that they can help take care of them and have them close by.

      Never has traveled- She has never traveled anywhere. Her daughter has lived in the U.S. for 6 years and she has never come here to visit her. She clearly is not someone who travels. So that makes this trip important. Important because of the wedding or important because she is going to try and immigrate?

      The daughter is now more settled, getting married, it would make sense for her to look after the mother more so than the son maybe.

      Her daughter immigrated here.

      The son is going to accompany her here and then leave without her and she will fly back 2 weeks later and alone? This appears to be more of a delivery. Your bringing her here to your sister and then going back home.


      This is my opinion and not legal advice. Use of this information is strictly at your own risk.
