Visa denied last year but will re-apply again next week
Hi All. I hope someone can help me regarding my plan to re-apply for a US Visa next week and please provide a feedback and advise. Thank you in advance.
I am a 27 male from the Philippines, Single and have worked for a BPO for more than 5 years. I applied last June 2016 but was rejected. Here's how the interview went:
VO: Good morning!
Me: Hi, Good morning!
VO: Why are you going to the US?
Me: I was invited as a guest by (a church in the US) to participate in many of their activities and events
VO: May I see the invitation?
Me: (gave her the invitation but she did not read it)
VO: Where in the US?
Me: Answered the City and State
VO: What's in it for you?
Me: I will become a pastor here after the training
VO: What's your job here?
Me: I am a Manager
VO: How long have you been in the BPO?
Me: Eversince or with my current employer?
VO: Eversince
Me: 5 years
VO: Who will pay for your trip?
Me: The church in the US will provide my meals, housing and transportation. Our local church will provide the plane ticket and my personal allowance. I have my own savings too.
VO: Unfortunately I cannot give you a visa. Thank you.
Me: Oh, okay, thanks.
Do you know what could be the reason of my denial? Next week, I am scheduled for an interview again. Lots have changed in my situation since last year. Here are the following:
-I am now engaged with my long time girlfriend
-I have resigned from my previous job and is now working full-time as a Pastoral staff for 9 months (I started one month after my visa was denied)
-Our house title is now in the process of being transferred to my name
-I have a business for 3 years now which I did not mention in the interview last year. However, that business is for a sweepstakes which might contradict my current job in our church.
Let me know your thoughts please. The more, the better. I will give you an update next week regarding the result of my interview so please respond with your tips and advise as soon as possible. I appreciate all your help. Thank you.

US Visitor visa approved
I am single 29 male from Delhi. My biometrics were on 17th march and my interview was on 20th march 10am at Delhi embassy. Last year i got my PR from Canada in federal skilled worker category. Have traveled only to Canada that too last year to collect my PR card from there else no travel history outside India.
VO:- Please pass your passport.
Me: Good Morning.. How are you doing today? (no reply started screening my passport details)
VO:- Why do u want to go to US?
Me: Last year i got my PR card(Immigration) from Canada so this June i will be moving there permanently and before that i would like to visit my brother, my sister in law and their new born child for few days in New York.
VO:- What is your brother current status in USA?
Me:- He is a LPR(legal permanent resident)
VO:- What does he do?
Me:- He works in a software company as Senior Support Engineer.
VO:- What do you for work?
Me:- I work as a sole proprietor in construction business.
VO:- What kind of work is involved in your profession?
Me:- Answered.(Very briefly in a line or two)
VO:- Whats your annual turnover?
Me:- I told him
VO:- So you will come from Canada on which date(Asking the wrong question deliberately i guess by looking in the computer) ?
Me:- Sir i would be going from India to New York(told the exact date) first then after 10 days i will be heading towards my final destination in Canada.( I had already booked my flight tickets from Delhi to New York and from New York to Canada and also mentioned the same details in my DS160 form, so he was just kinda verifying it from me by looking in the computer.
VO:- Ok sir, I am approving your visa, you will get your passport in few days via courier
Me:- Thank you with a big smile.
No document was asked from me although i had every document with me from property papers, Bank statement, My tax returns, Brother's pay slips and his other documents. Only thing i would advise to everyone here is that be honest as per your DS160 form and put right details in it and have supporting documents which can verify it. They can ask you anything so be prepared for verification. Also they need strong reasons that the person would definitely not immigrate in their country so show them strong ties in your home country like long term stable job, owning a property here or have family and kids over here. For me being single was a negative factor which could have weakened my case but I prepared well to show them that i will definitely leave their country. I booked my refundable tickets in advance to strengthen my case and if in any case my visa would have been denied it would have resulted in a 20% loss for me on its price.
Also i would also like to thank Immihelp posters who shared their experience which actually guided me a lot on how to prepare for the interview.
Good luck to all.

Tourist Visa experience in Dubai
Our experience at US Consulate in Dubai while applying tourist visas.
After the usual checks at the Consulate, when we reached to the counter of visa interview, our interviewer was a lady around 30+ years of age. When I tried to hand over passports with all other documents, she only took passports and didn’t even look at the other documents.
Questions asked:
1. How long have you been living in Dubai?
A. More than 15 years
2. Where do you work and as what?
A. Answered (although I work as a secretary, but there was no strange reaction from the VO)
3. Why do you want to go to US and for how long?
A. Tourism and for 3 weeks.
4. What places will you be visiting in US?
A. LA, Vegas, NY and Washington.
5. Where have you travelled before?
A. Answered by mentioning a few Far Eastern countries and then a few times to Australia (that raised the eyebrow of the VO).
6. Why so many times to Australia and do you have any relatives in Australia?
A. We just love Australia, it’s a such a nice country and we like visiting it over and over again and yes, we do have relative in Australia. At this point, the VO smiled and said yes Australia is a nice place.
7. Have you always travelled for holiday as a family and returned back all together? (We are a family of 3 and we all 3 were there standing next to each other)
A. Yes we have always travelled as a family on holiday and we generally come back together.
8. Next question to my daughter – what do you do miss and what have you studied?
A. My daughter answered that I have done ACCA and I am working with xxx (an American company) as Junior Accountant
8. Next question to my wife – what do you do madam?
A. My wife answered that I am a house-wife.
VO then said, ok I am happy to say that your visas have been approved. Your passports will be delivered to you by courier in 4-5 days. We got 10 years visa for 3 of us. Please note that my bank statements or income proof was not checked at all.
Feel free to ask, if you have any questions.

B2 visa rejected
hi, I'm a degree 1st year student in hyderabad. I had to attend my brother's graduation ceremony. i didnt consult anything properly last time i wasnt prepared with the documents and proper facts so my visa got rejected.
the actual facts are:
my father passed away 4 years back and my mom is a home maker. my full support is my grand parents who get 50,000 pm each and a bank balance of 7 lakhs. i have a property in chennai- worth 2 crores . now i have applied again and have all the supporting documents - originals of bank statement and property.
Im single and my age is 18, my mom wanted to go but she is here to take care of grandpa. so my brother wanted me to come and attend his grad walk.
the person who is sponsoring me for the trip is my cousin and brother-in-law staying in us and they have a very good income.
my visa interview is tomorrow, what is the probability of me getting my visa as i really want to attend his grad walk. it was my father's dream to see him graduated in us so i really wanna go there.
we have also planned some trips to sightseeing places
my main ties are my education- as i have more 2 years-4 sems left and my mom- i have to take care of her. i have a rent agreement here and a own house here.
so will i get my visa and any more documents needed?

Need help and advice on my B2 Visa refusal experience
I am Cameroonian citizen and I have been in China for 5 years. I am a student and I study Mandarin Chinese ( I have had a certificate at a college and now I further to the next level at a university) . I would like to attend my older sister's wedding in New Orleans , Louisiana on the 27th of May 2017 that's next month . I am not fond of traveling so I haven't gone to any other country before and truthfully if it wasn't for the wedding I wouldn't apply for the US visa either. Below is how my so quick interview went...
VO(young tall lady with no courtesy nor a smile on a face) : Good morning
Me : Good morning
VO: where are you going ?
Me: New Orleans .
VO: what are you doing?
Me: Student
VO: degree?
Me : NO
VO: How long have you been in China?
Me: 5 years
VO: have you been to any other country ?
Me. I don't know if Macau accounts for a country but I went to Macau
VO: typing for a while then . I'm won't give you a visa this time . Return my passport and hand over the 214(b) refusal form `
I am really so frustrated at this point. I have 2 older sisters in the US its been 14 years we haven't met they've got kids that barely know me and now one is getting married and I can;t even attend her wedding..
I will definitely return to China cuz I have one more years to graduate and this means a lot to me .....I plan to apply in the coming weeks because I'm running out of time now but how can I really make the ties here in China look solid enough to convince the VO?
