Hi everyone! I'd like to share my experience when my visa got refused and I hope to hear inputs and advice from you after reading my experience.
I have applied last 2013 at Abu Dhabi US embassy. I'm Filipino, male, single, and I was 32 years old back then, employed with reasonable salary, travel history is only in Hongkong and Malaysia, I have a brother who is a US citizen.
VO: purpose of your trip
Me: to visit my brother as I haven't seen him for quite some time
VO: where does your brother live
Me: in _____, California
VO: How did he get into the US
Me: because of his work (just found out recently that he was petitioned by his wife)
VO: sorry your are not eligible for a visa
I realized that maybe the reason I was denied because for sure they have a record about his circumstances that I wasn't aware about.
Now, I'm applying again in a few weeks. Current circumstances now is I have traveled to Italy, France, Spain, Germany and UK aside from the asian countries I have been before. Same company with a bit higher salary now. Still single.
What are the odds of me getting a visa? Will it be okay if the VO ask for the purpose of my trip, I'd answer: To see the golden gate bridge and Yosemite park and tour around California where my brother is (instead of answering just: to visit my brother?) A friend told me, better to empashize your just there as a "tourist" than to emphasize that you will visit your brother.
What are your thoughts?
