Applying B2 Visa. Need help
I am 32 years (Male, Indian) working in Abu Dhabi for last 2 years.
I have already filled DS-160. Interview scheduled on 27 April 2017.
I have plans to visit New York, Wsahington DC, Miami & Key West during July 2017. I have not booked any tickets but prepared an itenarary. I have visited Italy & Switzerland in the month of March, 2017. Before that, I have visited Hongkong, Nepal, Germany & Thailand. All the places (except Thailand), I visited alone. What are the chances that the visa will get approved?
I have sufficient records to prove that I can sponsor for my visit (Salary slips & account statement). Even my trip will cost around 3/4th of my monthly salary. Also I have reasons to come back which I can explain to them.
Actually, I am married but filled for divorce. I am thinking of the question "Why you want to visit alone". What should I answer on that question? Also I have no marriage certificate and no name of spouse mentioned on my passport but I mentioned MARRIED on DS-160. Please suggest.
I am(male) a 2 year student in Management Development institute in Tashkent. I am 21 year old. I have once been in US with Work and travel visa when I was fondation year student in this institute. I mean 2 years before. what you guys think the chance to get visa? I have one more year study. What do you suggest? My interview date is on this 17 April. I look forward to your reply.
It would be very valuable to me.

we were shocked and came out from embassy sadly...
please can anyone help me what's the reason and when can I reapply again... In my case ... VO thought that her salary is less... or something what gone wrong .. I don't know guys...
Me: I'm going there to attend the 2017 family caregiver conference and for tourism
VO: Do you have any property?
Me: No
VO: How long have you been in this country
Me: 8 years
VO: Do you have children?
Me: Yes
VO: Where do you work, any letter from your employer?
Me: I'm a family career
VO: Whats your duty?
Me: I give ongoing care to my some of my children due to disabilities
VO: Ok ok, are you married?
Me: Yes
VO: Is your wife Irish
Me: no we're from the same nationality
VO: Oh thats good
VO: Can i see your bank statement?
Me: yes, gave it to him.
VO: your income from where?
Me: from the state here.
VO: i'm concerned about your financial ability, sorry i'm unable to issue you a NIV now, you can reapply next time.
Me: No problem thank you very much with a smile
VO: You're very welcome with a smile
My observation:
(1) He flip over my bank statement's first page where my current balance shows 3,000Euro
(2) No other visa in my passport than my residency, but i think i made a mistake for not telling him i've been to the UK twice.
(3) I have a return ticket to my home country which i took to the interview but i forgot to show him that i will be travelling from Ireland to my home country after my US visit as i've purchased my ticket already.
I've been refused once 13 years ago when i was single in my country of nationality, today is my second refusal. I genuinely can't abandon my family and sit right there in US.
Where do i got it wrong? How soon can i reapply? Does it make sense to apply immediately or give it time when after i visited another country, i currently hold Turkish evisa.
1. My question is how early can we re-apply?
2. Are there any side-effect of applying too early? (We are thinking of applying within 2 months of the initial reject date)
3. If they re-apply and get a reject again, does it affect their chances of getting a visa later in the future?
The following is the conversation they had:
VO: Are you husband & wife?
My Parents: Yes
VO: Why do you want to visit the US?
Parents: My son is graduating from CU. We want to attend his graduation ceremony. Also we will visit the New York & Chicago, and some other places (they mentioned the palces)
VO: How many children do you have?
Parents: 2
VO: How many of them stay in India?
Parents: None
VO: Sorry we can't give you visa. You can go for the day.
Parents: Thank you.
To my understanding, the main reason for not getting a visa was that they were not able to persuade the official that they had significant ties with the country to return back.
Please advice what to do next and what all question to be prepared for if they apply again.
My graduation: 17th May
I am thinking of taking a take by 25th April. ( We are 15 days short of 2 months by this time)
Please advice/PM me. Thank you.
I would sincerely appreciate all your efforts.
