Re: Reapplication after 214b) refusal

Hi, I would appreciate any reply to this question.

My gf who is a Singapore Citizen wanted to come to the states for holiday, so we decided to apply for a 6months visa, the consular in Singapore rejected her VISA application under 214b), and she lost her Visa Waiver privileges along with the refusal. She wasn't informed the collateral damage by anyone at the embassy or at their information session.....

She had already traveled to the states for 3 times using VWP and never overstayed. Also, had just graduated and has sometime between starting work back in Singapore, but she didn't bring any document to the embassy when she applied for the VISA and said she was going to visit the bf who is studying in the states. Also, when the consular asked her abt her job she said that she hasn't thought about it, though she already had jobs offers.she misinterpreted it as what do think of your job.... The consular then said, "6months is too long for any holiday and I suggest you find a job here and settle down"....

Her parents, siblings and relatives are all in Singapore with their own housing, therefore, we are thinking about to let her bring her employement letter, housing title documents, parents' letter, school letter certifying she is currently waiting for her degree scroll and saving bank statement to the Embassy and reapply again, is it advisable? or is there anything else we should do??

Also, will this refusal affect her if she decides to apply H1-B1 or H1-B in the future?

Lastly, if I wrote an email to the embassy asking for information on if PR can bring their girlfriends into the states to get married will get her blacklisted? I didn't mention her name, but my name was on her application and then my email has my alias. I did explain that I am a PR here in the states and was originally from Singapore. I can't travel back to marry her because my education restriction in the states.

I would appreciate your kind reply to these questions.

thank you!!!

She should bring more evidence this time, showing strong ties to her country.

Also, you as a PR can not apply for a resident visa for her for 5-6 years. You are better off waiting until you become a citizen of the US and then apply for a K-1 visa. You can get married with her, but she can not stay in the USA with you as a Permanent Resident until you become a citizen.

Apply for the visitor visa again if you wish, you can even attempt returning on VWP (she did not lose the privilege at all) it will be harder to obtain entry, but since she has not overstayed in the past, that may help her. It is ultimately at the discretion of the POE officer.

Hi thank you for your kind reply, but details on the restriction pertaining to traveling on VWP for 90days takes immediately effect when you were refused a visa is specified on the website of Dept of States and USCIS respectively.

I was wondering if any POE officer will even consider admittance since on the website it was specified as Nationals of VWP countries who were refused a VISA or Admission before need to apply for a VISA.
