B2 Visa Rejected Under section 214b. Can I reapply within a week?
Hello. Just to give a brief on my profile, I am 31 years old, Single, working in Bombay for the last 8 years in an MNC.
Period of visit: 30 days
Trip Sponsored by: SELF
Place of stay and name, relation: FRIEND (Muslim name)
I had plans of visiting states like Florida, Washington , NY, Las Vegas etc
My interview was scheduled on 6th and got rejected under 214B Following was the interview:
VO: What's the purpose of your trip
Me,: Pleasure
VO: where do you work
Me: Andwered
VO: which other places have you visited
Me: Visited Dubai in 2015
VO: where will you stay?
Me: (I give the address of friend)
VO: Is anyone travelling with you?
Me: No. I am travelling alone (raises her eyebrow here)
VO: what does your friend do?
Me: He has his own business in the US
VO: How do u know this friend
Me: I know him through my friend XYZ who is a common friend to us. We have been in touch for couple of years now.
VO: have you met him?
Me: No (this is where she reacts and turns towards me.)
VO: you are going to stay at this persons place who you have not even met once?
Me: (I get a bit uneasy). Yes. But the common friend XYZ is also in US and she will be accompanying me at some places. Also, I have been talking to the FRIEND and his family on skype and we have got very close. plus he and his wife will e accompanying me during my sightseeing.
VO: (asks me again about how I am going and staying with a person who I have been in touch only through video calls).
She rejects my VISA.
I realised this was a biggest loophole in my application in spite of a clear intention of just tourism. Can I apply again immediately (within a week) showing hotel as my accommodation? Or do I have to wait for another 6 months to 1 year to try again. how can I correct this. What are the chances of getting a visa?
PLEASE HELP.

How I was rejected for the first time a USA B1/B2- Visa and reapplied after a week then got approve
Since I have an overload of works, I asked help from the consultant office to do all the processing and
fill up my application. I just gave them the copies of my passport and CV/resume. After they finalized
my application I reviewed it and paid them 30 JOD (approximately 2,000 pesos) it just took them 30 minutes to completely
fill up the application through the website, I guess they have already filled up thousands of application since the business is running
for almost 10 years. By the way I’m an OFW ( Overseas Filipino Worker) working both in the cities of Riyadh,KSA and Amman, Jordan. Let’s make it fast forward
my first schedule of interview was February 20,2017 at 9:00 PM, as early as 8:00 AM I was already in the US Embassy (Amman).
For almost a week I researched those probable questions that might asks by the consul and tips for the interviews.
It was like all things are scripted and monologue on my part.
At around 8:30 we are asked by the security to get inside and fall in line to another window for verification of the passport and the schedule.
That moment I was so nervous and it feels like I’m going again for another panel interview for job vacancies and then we went again to another
security to surrender all the electronic stuffs. I handover to them my two mobile phones and get inside to another room for finger scanning. After
the finger scanning there’s a door to go inside the room and my instinct is right that this is the room for judgment I saw the queue and was exactly 9:00 AM that time.
It was already mixed emotions but I’m confident that I will get approval. It looks like I was in the fifteen on the queue and there are two consuls conducting the interview.
I was the only Filipino on that room and all of them are locals (Jordanian). I did my observations and most of them were rejected, the two consuls are really professionals and expert because
they conducted the interview to the locals through Arabic language, three passports were handover by the consuls to a checker and I guess from the fourteen people before me three were approved.
I don’t entertain it and keep a positive attitude and It was my turned.
INTERVIEW:
ME: Hi, Good morning…..
CONSUL: No answer, just keep her eyes on the monitor of the computer.
ME: I gave my passport.
CONSUL: Why do you want to go to US?
ME: For tourist purposes and I want to visit a family friend (simple answer as per the tips in the interview).
CONSUL: What is your friend doing there?
ME: She is program specialist…….
CONSUL: What are those countries you have visited.?
ME: Singapore, Macau, Hongkong, Israel, UAE, Saudi, Jordan…..
CONSUL: How long have you’ve been living in Jordan.
ME: For almost a year now…
CONSUL: Are you single?
ME: YES
CONSUL: Continue typing and looking into the monitor of her computer…
then suddenly she said sorry your visa has been denied and gave me this blue slip.
ME: Took the blue slip and said Thank you.
Two minutes of interview and my money was put into waste and I was so frustrated that moment since I really hate rejection. It was exactly 9:25 AM when I left that room and very sad.
There a lot of questions popping in my mind and I was so angry because she doesn’t even ask any documents to support my application because I prepared everything prior to my interview.
So I contacted the consultant office and tell it to them I was denied they advised to go again for another shot next week. I went again for another interview
and that was February 28,2017 one week after my rejection. This time I booked the first schedule of interview of 7:45 AM. I don’t know that day I woke up 5:00 AM and prepared
to go to US embassy and exactly 6:30 AM I was there. To my surprise I was the only one in the queue so I check again the time in my mobile. I was the first one on the line meaning I will
be the first one to be interview which I’m happy because it was my planned. I do always believe that early bird catches the worm. It’s almost 8:15 when the interview started five of us
were asked by the security to fall in line, only one consul that time and I’m praying that it should be the same consul and luckily she’s not.
INTERVIEW:
ME: Hi Good morning then gave my passport.
CONSUL: Good morning Carlos, How are you?
ME: (In my mind oh good she is interacting, I guess I have a good chance). I replied I’m doing fine and how about you?
CONSUL: I’m good, why do you want to travel to USA?
ME: (This time I made it natural, truthful, and relax), when I was young I dreamed of going to USA specifically in San Francisco and if I got chance I want to explore the city and aside
from that I wanted to see my friend.
CONSUL: Does your friend is having a green card?
ME: OMG I wasn’t able to asked her if she has a green card already (it’s all in my mind). But I answered it, Honestly I really don’t know if she has a green card but she is already married
to an American citizen. We are communicating through facebook….
CONSUL: OK
ME: In my mind “ slim chance already”.
CONSUL: How long have you been staying in Jordan.
ME: This time I elaborate my answer, Since 2015 I keep on coming back to Amman from Riyadh for a special project. We acquired ______Company and I have to introduce the _______ policies and procedures for
sales finance and to teach them the system we are using which is______ and SAP. This is a joint venture of ______ Company and _______ International.
CONSUL: Good, you are working in _______ How long have you been connected with this company…….
ME: For almost six years.
CONSUL: How much you are earning per month?
ME: Approximately by this amount……….
CONSUL: Do you have any letter from the Company?
ME: YES and I gave my employment letter.
CONSUL: She read the returned the letter.
CONSUL: Tell me about what degree you have finished?
ME: I’m a double major degree holder and I graduated……………
She checked here monitor and continue typing. I thought I was already done but suddenly she asks.
CONSUL: What if you won in Lottery in Las Vegas?
ME: I was nervous that time, In my mind I saw this question when I was researching but no answer provided.
It was naturally came out in my mouth….. My plan is to go to San Francisco and meet my friend there and not to visit Las Vegas.
It was inculcated by my parents gambling is bad and up to now I uphold to that values…….
CONSUL: Continue typing then suddenly she said…….. Ok Carlos Your visa has been approved ARAMEX will contact you after five working days.
ME: With a big smile and said YES….. Thank you very much.
When I was going out two people approached me and said Mabrook ( Congratulations in Arabic). They are locals and working as security in US Embassy. After two days I was able to received
my passport with 10 years visa and multiple entries.

US B2 Visa Reapplication
I (female, 20 year old student) and my sister (15 year old) applied for a B2 visa to visit my boyfriend and his parents and also do some sightseeing with them for a course of 3 weeks to one month stay. However, in the first interview and application I mentioned them as family friends only. Everything we answered was as per the DS 160 form. In fact, barely any questions were asked. It seemed like because we weren't travelling as a family, we were rejected. We were asked my parents' salary which is 25 lakhs per annum, after tax. We were asked what we were doing, and after all of that, rejected.
My boyfriend and I have been in a long distance relationship for 3 years. It has been a year that we met, and if I do not meet him this year, the next time we meet will be in 2019, due to stamping issues for his Visa. Due to this reason, my sister wants me to get a chance to visit him at least, and I am considering reapplying alone. I do have another year of studies to go. I would like to know if stating the reason as visiting my boyfriend will be a better option, as there is no way I could get married to him and live there now. It is very important for me to meet him, and I'd like to know my chances and it would help if I could get suggestions for what to change in my form or interview next.
I had suggested that the entire family apply together and only I and my sister travel, but my parents consider that risky. Is it okay to do so? Since each person's form is separate.
