Hi friends,
I got my B1 visa rejection at Nov-2009 (Mumbai) and May-2010 (Chennai). I have 7 years of IT industry experience.
I am Patel, Single and my brother is in USA with citizen status. Can this be a reason for consecutive rejections?
Following is conversation during my May - 2010 at Chennai.
VO - Good Morning
Me - Good Morning
I passed my file prepared by prescreening person at consulate to VO.
VO - Why you want to go to US?
Me - Explained it to him
VO - Will you work there?
Me - No. and explained activities during my visit
VO - How much you have worked with your current company?
Me- Last 7 months
VO - Where you were working previously?
Me - XYZ company at ABC location
VO - Have you been to USA before?
Me - No
Then he thought a little bit, typed something and said I can not issue visa at this point because you are ineligible for this visa.
Throughout this conversation I was very much confident and looking straight in eyes of VO while answering with a gentle smile on my face.
I gathered some courage and asked VO after rejection, what is main reason behind my 2nd time rejection. He said your overall situation is making u ineligible for visa and you failed to convince me that you will come back to India.
I asked him how can I improve upon it? He said you may reapply when your situation changes but can not guarantee that you will get visa in future and then I came back.
Can any of you guide me what should I do now? My company is planning to utilize my 2008 approved H1b petition and send me for H1B visa but will my 2 B1 rejection affect H1B too?
Should I apply at Mumbai or Chennai consulate for H1B? Does being bachelor, Patel surname and bro in USA with citizen status affect these all?
Thanks for help!!
