  • Need advice on applying for B1/B2 visa to attend conference - Got REJECTED

    Greetings

    I am a recently graduated electrical engineer from Bangladesh. During my undergraduate years I wrote a paper for conference proceeding for which I have to make it to Florida for oral presentation. Now I have graduated and am now a system design engineer at a software company for the last 6 months where my salary is BDT25000 (about USD320). I applied for B1/B2 visa on 20th January but got rejected. In the DS-160 I mentioned that my father was financing my travel. The consulate officer asked me the following questions:

    Officer: What do you do?
    Me: I am working as a system design engineer

    Officer: How old are you?
    Me: 24

    Officer: Are you married?
    Me: No

    Officer: Who's financing your travel?
    Me: My father

    Officer: What? You father is financing your travel and not your company?
    Me: No.

    Officer: I am sorry but you do not qualify for the visa. Please reapply when your situation changes significantly.
    Me: But I have to attend my conference.

    Officer: I am sorry, sir.
    A: Okay

    With that he handed me a leaflet that says about 214 (B).

    I have to make it to the conference. Now for the finance part, I convinced my company's CEO and he said he would sponsor my travel if I put the company's affiliation into the paper. I need advice on when (or whether) should I reapply and even if I reapply what should I mention in the DS-160 form. It is mandatory for me to present the paper in person. Otherwise the paper would be cancelled.

    Thanks

    You can reapply at any time with your company's sponsor paper.
    Yes.
