  • H1B Visa petition rejection leading to B1/B2 rejection

    Hi All,

    My petition for H1B visa was rejected in 2013 after an RFP. I never appeared for any interview. Is that a visa rejection or simply petition rejection?

    The reason i`m asking this question is because I recently applied for B1/B2 category from Toronto where i`m currently staying but it was rejected. I had mentioned in the application that my H1B visa was rejected in 2013 but did not think about the fact that it was petition rejection and not Visa rejection. It occurred to me as one of my colleague applied for B1/B2 from here but did not mention about his H1B petition rejection which also happened in the same year. He got his B1/B2 after the interview.

    If it is correct that petition rejection is not same as Visa rejection, can i apply for H1/H2 again soon. The officer cited this H1B rejection as a reason for B1/B2 rejection and gave me a 214(b) form.

    Also my employer is asking me to raise L1B visa request. Would this B1/B2 visa rejection affect my L1 application too?

    I hold Indian passport.

    Thanks for your help

    Himanshu
