B2 Visa denied

[rohit.kulkarni88]

Hi,



I am in US on H1B and my interview happened on 9th Dec and came to USA on 20th March. The V.O. asked "Do you have any plans to get married" and I said no. But got married on 24th Dec.

On 15th May my wife had an interview for B2. We chose B2 because my wife's company had filed for H1B and we wanted to avoid any conflicts between H1B and H4.



Below is the interview:

my wife: hello, good morning

vo: good morning



vo: why do you want to go to US?

my wife: i am going to meet my husband



vo: is he on H1B?

my wife: yes



vo asked for my visa copy.

my wife handed it over.



(typing on computer) vo: when did you get married?

my wife: on 24th december



vo: ok. he was here on 9th dec and he had told he had no plans to get married.

my wife: yes. we met the following week and got married



vo: how many people attended the marriage?

my wife: around 200



vo asked for the photos

my wife showed them to her



vo: i am sorry i have to deny the visa for you.

Last I checked getting married was a personal decision which I am entitled to change anytime!!



Can anyone please let me know if this rejection will hurt her H1B or H4 processing?

[inadmissible]

Unlike B visas, H visa issuance does not require that she overcome the presumption of immigrant intent

Thanks for the reply.
Can you also tell me if that rejection affects the H1 or H4 interviews?

[inadmissible]

Visa denials - other than for reasons of fraud - are not prejudicial

I would suggest wait for sometime, gather all docs and prepare yourself to answer the questions convincingly even those related to your rejection.
