H1b might get rejected..... visitor visa question

[kaloi_hu]

I have worked in the US for abt 3 years now, but having visa issues when i came back for a holiday to Indonesia.

Anyways, my company gave me a deadline of October 31st to get back there. In the case where I cannot get my visa by then, can I apply for a visitor visa to settle my personal stuff back in the US? Personal stuff includes selling my personal belongings, my cars, moving out of the apartment, closing my bank accounts, etc. If I can apply, should I just tell the interviewer that this is the purpose of my visit? thanks.

Do you know the reason for the delay?

You can always try for a visitor visa. Certainly tell the truth. Ask for enough time to settle your affairs.

You can also have pa power of attorney notorized to a trusted friend. The consulate should have a person able to do the acceptable notary stanping. A POA gives that person the right to act on your behalf in doing these things for you.

If H1b is needing a clearance, any type of visa issuance for you will involve the same security clearance.

i just emailed the embassy abt supporting documents I need to apply for a tourist visa, and this counselor that I have been communicating with lately replied me stating that I cannot get a tourist visa because my H1-b visa was rejected. Is this for real?? From what I have read, each application should be treated separately no? I just want to go back and settle all my personal stuff like moving out of my apartment, selling my cars and etc... this is BS

If the rejection was a reason where any visa could not be approved, then that is pretty much it.

For example, a CIMT would result in rejection for any visa.

If you cannot return to the US, you need to get a notorized power of attorney giving authority to a trusted friend or relative to do these things for you. You can download samples off of the internet and have it notorized at the consulate.
