Visitor Visa - B2

First, I really appreciated with people that build immihelp.com and people that posting their experience. I wish I read this website before applying for US Visa, it is very useful website and I learn from other people experience.

I am coming from third world country, dark skin, 30 something years old, muslim, married, student in UK from government scholarship. I have travel to around to Germany, Italy, Netherland, Russia and found no issues with VISA. I live in UK for almost 3 years.

My purpose of visit US is to speak in the conference, therefore I completed my application with Invitation Letter from committee, confirmation of study, confirmation of sponsorship. I also have bank statement with around £9,000.

The interview is very short less than 3 minutes, after biometrics, I see the biometrics officer writes little notes in my application. Once I met VISA officer, it seems that she already knows the result of interview even before asking any single question or any single documents.

VO: What do you do in UK?
Me: I am student, show the documents

VO: What is the purpose of visit?
Me: Attend conference, explain conference purpose, show invitation letter

VO: (type something in the computer, around 30 seconds)
Me: (I start to realize something wrong)

VO: What is your itinerary?
Me: Explain, show the itinerary document

VO: Who pay this conference?
Me: Explain the sponsor, show the sponsorship document

VO: What is the purpose of visit? (asking the same question)
Me: Attend conference, explain conference purpose, show invitation letter

VO: (again, type something in the computer, around 30 seconds).
Sorry, unfortunatelly, we could not give you VISA due to economic condition in US, give 214b rejection letter.

My Visa Officer is female, black, around 20 something years old.

My conclusion, based on my experience and reading 60+ pages of immihelp and various website:

1. The chance of Overseas (UK) Student VISA apply US B1 / B2 Business / Tourist VISA is very very small, maybe 100% rejection rate.

2. The fact that studying in overseas is indicating a weak ties with home country. I believe that the VISA officer that interview me already have decision by the time we came in the counter, so an interview/documents actually not required.

Now, I am still thinking two other possibilities:

1. Re-apply again with university guarantee letter, I dont know whether it is works or not. When I am consult with my University administration, he only says that "Even our college trip to US is rejected", no help.

2. Re-apply again from my home country

That's all, again, thank you very much for immihelp that share all information with US VISA process. The most usefull experience that I learnt from US Visa application is to read immihelp.com :)
