Rejected: UK Student VISA apply US B1/B2 Business/Tourist VISA
First, I really appreciated with people that build immihelp.com and people that posting their experience. I wish I read this website before applying for US Visa, it is very useful website and I learn from other people experience.

I am coming from third world country, dark skin, 30 something years old, muslim, married, student in UK from government scholarship. I have travel to around to Germany, Italy, Netherland, Russia and found no issues with VISA. I live in UK for almost 3 years.

My purpose of visit US is to speak in the conference, therefore I completed my application with Invitation Letter from committee, confirmation of study, confirmation of sponsorship. I also have bank statement with around £9,000.

The interview is very short less than 3 minutes, after biometrics, I see the biometrics officer writes little notes in my application. Once I met VISA officer, it seems that she already knows the result of interview even before asking any single question or any single documents.

VO: What do you do in UK?
Me: I am student, show the documents

VO: What is the purpose of visit?
Me: Attend conference, explain conference purpose, show invitation letter

VO: (type something in the computer, around 30 seconds)
Me: (I start to realize something wrong)

VO: What is your itinerary?
Me: Explain, show the itinerary document

VO: Who pay this conference?
Me: Explain the sponsor, show the sponsorship document

VO: What is the purpose of visit? (asking the same question)
Me: Attend conference, explain conference purpose, show invitation letter

VO: (again, type something in the computer, around 30 seconds).
Sorry, unfortunatelly, we could not give you VISA due to economic condition in US, give 214b rejection letter.

My Visa Officer is female, black, around 20 something years old.

My conclusion, based on my experience and reading 60+ pages of immihelp and various website:

1. The chance of Overseas (UK) Student VISA apply US B1 / B2 Business / Tourist VISA is very very small, maybe 100% rejection rate.

2. The fact that studying in overseas is indicating a weak ties with home country. I believe that the VISA officer that interview me already have decision by the time we came in the counter, so an interview/documents actually not required.

Now, I am still thinking two other possibilities:

1. Re-apply again with university guarantee letter, I dont know whether it is works or not. When I am consult with my University administration, he only says that "Even our college trip to US is rejected", no help.

2. Re-apply again from my home country

That's all, again, thank you very much for immihelp that share all information with US VISA process. The most usefull experience that I learnt from US Visa application is to read immihelp.com :)

B2- approval from Pakistan
I along with my wife and two kids appeared for B2 visa interview on 26th August and our visa got approved.

VO. Good Morning.
Me. Good morning madam. I am ____ and this is my wife ____.
Vo. why do you want to go US?
Me. For Tourism purpose.
Vo. where in US?
Me. We want to visit New york, Orlando and Washington D.C.
Vo. Have you visited any other country as family before?
Me. Yes we have visited Canada, UK, UAE and Saudi Arabia before.
Vo. How many days you stayed in Canada?
Me. Around 20 days.
Vo. What you are doing?
Me. I told about my job(I am working for a Government organization)
Vo. Since how long your are working in this organization.
Me. I told 6 years and 6 months to be exact
Vo. She asked my wife what you are doing ?
My wife. I am a licensed pharmacist moreover I am running an educational institute
Vo. she further asked my wife which type institute it is and what are your responsibilities.
My wife gave answer to her questions.
Vo. How much you are earning from your job?
Me. I told him about my monthly salary.
She further asked my wife about her monthly income.
Vo. she asked do have any relatives or friends in US.
Me & My wife. We both said that we do not have any relative or friend in US.
Vo again reiterated her question looking straight into our eyes but we replied agin that we do not have anyone in US but we do have some family friends in Canada.
After that she typed in her computer for couple of minutes and then promptly said (those word which everyone is eager to listen) that your visa has been approved and go for your trip and enjoy it.

We both were so glad but we hardly kept ourself not to show emotions before Vo. She was a very nice and polite lady her language was quite clear. Vo did not ask for a single piece of paper although we both have prepared our separate files containing financial educational and job related details but she did not ask for anyone. My advice for Visa aspirants from Asian countries is that only be with yourself and give correct answer and never ever lie before consular officer as they are well trained and have vast experience.

My mother's B2 traveler visa is rejected .. Need help or assistance for further processing
Hi,
I am Anand from India. My mother had her B2 traveler visa which is sponsored by my cousin who stays in US on H1B visa. He sent an invite to my mother to visit US for Christmas and new year celebrations and also similar letter is given to US visa officer for issuing a traveler visa for my mother.

Below questions were asked before visa officer decided to reject the application:

1. How many children do you have?
Answer: 2, 1 son and 1 daughter.

2. Why are you travelling to US?
Answer: Travel purpose and to see Christmas and New year celebrations.

3. What is the relation of sponsor to you?
Answer: He is my husband's brother son. I am his Aunt.

4. What is your husband doing?
Answer: My husband is not there and expired.

Visa officer thought for a minute and said "sorry we can't issue you a visa" and gave section 214(b) form for reason for visa rejection.

Now I have following scenario and questions:
I am travelling to US on L1 visa in September 2016 for 8 months on our company assignment. Can I be sponsor for her visa or can I make a request to invite my mother to US on traveler visa. Will there be any chances of approval as it was rejected yesterday only when processed with my cousin's sponsorship? Can you guide me what I need to carry or submit for processing my mother's visa on my invitation. As I am travelling to US now, I may not be having a Bank account or there won't be enough money in account as it is newly opened.

Can someone please help me in guiding next steps I need to follow?

b1/b2 visa: having proof of ties being a teenager
Hi, I have an appointment at the US Embassy in two weeks, however as a young person (17 years old) I am worried that my proof of ties (I will be entering my second year in college September) will not be strong enough. I have done some research and so far all I have come across is to bring my college I.D. and be prepared to explain the importance of my completion of study in my country. My explanation is that I love my country and being a third world country the education level is of the highest and so i want to be a part of that and also i would give back to the nation once i have completed my studies.
Apart from that I am fully prepared, do you thing that my explanation will be good enough??????????????????????????????????
