How soon you should reapply after a visa denial, according to a former Visa Officer

[@ianngaara6440]

Hey Mandy👋🏿. I religiously watched your videos in preparation for my B2 visa interview, but i was unfortunately denied on Monday. I'm considering to reapply since i didn't mention any plans on coming back to my country after my visit. I'm planning to present this information about my return in my next interview. Hopefully, I'll get it🤞🏿

[@ZFvisa]

Good luck! Our B1/B2 Visa training will launch this winter, so you may want to wait to take it before you reapply.

[@younoussgassama4608]

Hi mandy. Please it's possible to talk about your plans of returning to your home country during your visa interview even if the v.o don't ask you the exact questions? I mean it's good to incorporate it in your answers??

Hi ZF Visa team, i have been denied an I-Visa five times with the recent one being this year. Early this month, i travelled to the UK for a vacation and i am now back home. Currently, i have a travel history that constitutes of UK and France. If i am to reapply but a different category in the near future (B1/B2), do i stand a better chance of being issued? A word of advice will be highly appreciated.

[@ZFvisa]

You may have a better chance, but this will depend on your specific situation, as well as the circumstances which may have led to your previous denials. Please reach out to us at [e-mail], and we'll see how we might help you prepare.

Thanks so much , I waa asked 3 questions and I had every proof for my strong ties with me but she didn't ask instead giving us a letter in that situation ig happens next time what should I do? I reapplied immediately on Thursday because I'm sure I have all what is needed but only what I need is the time with the officer to demonstrate them. But my payment forms failed to generate what should I do or how long should I wait?.

[@lillylockridge1672]

hey! i was rejected on my first f1 visa interview under section 214 b and im going to apply again with clearer intentions since i was really nervous but about a year ago my same sponser filed a humanitarian parole for me (for nicaraguans haitans cubans and venezuelans) but i dont think this is considered as an immigrant visa or immigrant intent right? My sponsor called UCIS before filing the student visa just to make sure it wouldnt matter and they said it wouldnt. is it worth mentioning to them or do you think the officer saw that? Would that lead to a denial? thanks for your help

[@pavan_Texas]

Hello mam ,I am currently on an F1 visa and in my last semester, which ends on December 12, 2024. I applied for OPT in October 2024, and my EAD card was approved with a start date of January 12, 2025. On November 18, 2024, my spouse and 1-year-old child applied for F2 visas, but their applications were denied under section 214(b). Given that my semester ends in December and my OPT begins in January, would it be better for my family to reapply for the F2 visa in December, or should they wait until after my OPT starts? What would be the best approach in this situation?

[@eb7967]

Hello! Yesterday our family received the sealed envelopes for entry into the U.S. along with the immigrant visas, and we were horrified to find that our daughter had a different name printed on the envelope instead of her mother's name. It turns out that when filling out the DS260, the person who filled out the form for us mistakenly wrote the name of another woman instead of my name (the last name is written correctly). The Consulate told us that we should go to the USA and explain at the port of entry why there was a mistake. We are very worried that we will not be allowed to enter. Please help us with advice on what to do! Thank you in advance for your advice

[@ZFvisa]

There’s not much you can do. You should follow the Consulate’s advice. If possible, bring a copy of any email instructions they sent you about this issue, so you can show CBP at the port of entry.

I wont reapply for a tourist visa again. I got denied and I am affraid to apply again. You cannot simply earned money to apply then get denied and also book a plane ticket book a hotel for an appointment too much cost then the result will be the same. I gave up on having tourist visa. They will never give a piece of paper or even a hint on what part did you fail the interview so that the next time you can make it improve. I was traumatized and even cried because saving money from working hard is not easy 😢 i always watch your videos before my appointment interview and even other videos about b1b2 application but i still get denied. I have a question maam. Do I have still chance to send and entry for DV-2025 even my country, Philippines, is on the list of not eligible on applying for this lottery?

[@ZFvisa]

I’m sorry to hear about your visa denials. We will have a B1/B2 training course coming soon so consider taking it when it launches! And no, you cannot qualify for the DV-2025 because it’s not open to Filipino citizens

[@ianngaara6440]

Hey man! I feel you. I thoroughly prepared for my B2 visa interview weeks before my appointment and I was denied on Monday. I shed tears as well. I reflected back on the interview and even though I was very pro-active during the interview I barely mentioned plans on coming back to my country after my visit in the short amount of time the consular gave me to respond to her questions. I'm considering to reapply and present information I didn't provide about my plans to return that will hopefully strengthen my case. So, don't give up yet!

mandy do you ever feel bad for denying people visa during your 7yrs working in the consulate do you feel that you needed to give applicants chance to talk their case to you, given an opportunity again to be a consular would you make a better decisions during visa interview

[@ZFvisa]

Visa Officers never enjoy denying applicants. However, due to time constraints, many applicants who may otherwise qualify sometimes face denials because they simply cannot explain their situations to their Visa Officer. This is precisely why we do what we do! Reach out to us if you'd like our help - [e-mail].

Hello madam, I'm from Ethiopia, First I appreciate your help on Visa related information. In April 2024 I and my wife applied and paid for the visitor visa to the US Embassy. our visa interview is scheduled for the coming month, October 2024. Fortunately, on May 04,2024 I won the DV2025. I submitted the DS-260 form in June 2024. Since my case number is high I'm waiting for the DV interview schedule next year any month. So, what would you recommend us? should we go to the tourist visa interview next month because we already paid for it? or will it affect the DV interview that will happen next year? Your response is appreciated.
