Was your U.S. visa denied after 2 questions by the Visa Officer?

Mandy Feuerbacher, former Visa Officer and U.S. immigration attorney shares why a Visa Officer would deny a visa after 2 questions, and what you can do about it.

[@BeingRoselyn]

It a criminal way of taking people money and not have time to process and review there application...

[@annjcd4608]

The consul's decision-making process is shrouded in uncertainty, with no clear guidelines or criteria for evaluation. While some individuals invest considerable effort in presenting a comprehensive picture, the consul may dismiss their efforts as superfluous. In contrast, others may adopt a more concise approach, only to find that it fails to satisfy the consul's expectations. The path forward is unclear, and it is difficult to determine the most effective strategy, whether it is to provide a brief answer or to elaborate at length.

[@jaffjeff6912]

Just a business brother

[@WhiteSwan21]

So basically, it depends on the mood of the officer on that day. So sad, really... People who prepared so long and struggled to get that visa really badly but got denied-it's not fair, really...

[@MarvelRodriguezvlogn2420]

The outcome of the consul's decision still relies heavily on their personal preferences and mood, rather than adhering to a strict set of guidelines.

Clever dishonest people can fake it and genuine people can get nervous and get denied. That's why many unqualified people get qualified.

[@vctor6768]

Very correct.....they should see the number of the so called "genuine" people that abscond when they get to US and know that something is not right with the way they interview people for visa..

[@Street_Hawk]

Their so called "sixth sense" has cost so many people their entire careers and has also made careers of many underserving people. Do they just forget or ignore that a visa interview is not supposed to be like a job interview? Every person is different. Some are more confident while others aren't. Some can have mental issues like ADHD, OCD, etc. Why do they ignore this simple fact? If they have to interview hundreds in a day then why not just add more officers instead of denying people who spent a big chunk of their hard earned money and time on the visa process and planned their careers around it or whatever. There is no excuse. It's just pathetic.

[@rekhakadam6393]

Exactly

[@ceejamm3180]

They're to blame for the border crisis that's been going on for months now. I do not blame those immigrants at at. You cannot just look at ppl and decide that u do not like the way they look so ur gonna deny them a visa.

[@ALINA-yl9rs]

This is unprofessional and on called for.. indeed they have no idea of stress they put people through waste of years waiting for a Visa and planning life around that long date they give.. just to fit in and in the end just say no to someone base on what you think..? Please,I have been there and witness an interviewer continuesly saying no to everyone that approach her in less than 2 min. Why do people travel especially when they have never been to a country before to be experienced clearly, curious to see what there.!!!

[@jamin1632]

They denied my girlfriend to visit the US even though she has her own business, family that lives in the Philippines and she has land that she owns. Yet they told her that she has no strong ties? It's absolutely ridiculous. The whole thing is BS! It's not an interview at all. You're just a number. They only give vague reasons for why you're denied. Doesn't matter what documents you bring because they don't even look at them. Then they charge you now, a hundred eighty dollars per interview even though it's very likely most people that go to the interview don't even come close to the qualifications to travel. It's all about money. Yet people can come across the border illegally all the time, it's not about security or safety, it's just about stupid government that is ineffective and not efficient. It's not right when people go about to enter my country the us legally and are denied yet people can freely come across the border unchecked. It's all broken. $180 is a lot of money to a Filipino.

[@islandsisle5426]

same here. i have all the documents to support my ties in Ph. bank statements, properties, investments, families, yet didnt even bother to check, 5 questions and i was denied! cost me 185usd, 5 months of waiting and all the preparations, and travel cost only to be denied in 2 mins. im not happy at all. better to visit and spend my money in other countries. its such a waste coz i have pure intention of only visting and i deserve approval but IO didnt give me a chance

[@islandsisle5426]

its really BS! just a minute or two, thats just how it took them to make a decision. how could you judge a person whether he/she is eligible or not by asking 2 to 5 questions and not checking the supporting docs he/she got? You are right. its not an interview at all and its disappointing. i lost interest now in USA. all the excitement were gone

I was denied a US visa in 2000, I was at film school back then that only 15 people a year were accepted in, but they didn’t cared, I was only traveling for vacations. I have never applied for one again, won’t give them the pleasure to decide wether I can go and spend money on their country.

[@gsnipernew3.070]

Out of desperation...😅

[@Bkindstar]

It is very concerning to me as a US citizen to know about this horrible problem of not allowing good and honest people to travel to my country. It seems like something I would expect from a dictatorship. I married a man of Indian origin in 2014 and it is now almost ten years later and still we have not had any success to get my brother in law a visa just to travel to visit us. My husband has a big family who all owns property and businesses in India and has plenty of evidence of their ties to India. We are completely isolated from my husband’s family here unless we are to travel to India which costs thousands of dollars each time and puts all of the burden on us. We cannot even invite our family members to our home. So many birthdays, holidays, weddings and funerals have been missed. My family has not been able to build any bond with my husband’s family. We have not had children also due to the lack of family being able to visit. We don’t want to raise children without the possibility of being visited by aunts uncles and cousins. Our family is deeply injured by the current way things are done regarding tourist visas from India to USA.

[@10359877]

you cannot blame the US. People from 3rd world countries like india use the US to illegally look for jobs just to better their lives. The US would much rather give those jobs to their citizens then illegal immigrants. Thats just the reality of it. Ask your husband how rampant Indian people flock to the US illegally just to find a better life for themselves.

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

I don't know, Joanie. I had children overseas and only visited with family every few years. It was hard. Never anyone to babysit or help if I got flu. But I wouldn't give up having a family. That was a greater priority.

[@Bkindstar]

@@user-ov4wr5yu4r It is a choice we must all make…It is too difficult for us to have a family under these conditions, we both have demanding careers and it would require a lot of help from family. We both are not willing to have kids only to have them be raised by strangers. My point is that is didn’t have to be this way, there needs to be reform in the way visas are given. The current system doesn’t make sense for American families like mine. And there are many of us suffering over this.

[@eileenwatt8283]

Why don't you move to India and wait until his case comes up. India has a long wait time.

[@Bkindstar]

@@eileenwatt8283 I wish we could move to India, unfortunately we earn our living in United States. There are no comparable career options in India. Also, my family lives here and my husband’s family lives in India. United States allows people with European citizenship to visit freely but it’s not the same for Indian citizens. All I am saying is that it is time for an update in the law considering that Indians hold many top positions in top companies in the US and have proven themselves to not be a security threat to the United States. There is no reason I can see why Indian citizens who can prove their income and show a return ticket should not be allowed to visit the United States for 2-3 weeks at a time. I don’t think what I am saying is unreasonable.

[@ZFvisa]

See above.

[@Paul-in-Viet-Nam]

Thank you for this information. I've lived in Viet Nam for a little over five years and married a VN citizen. We applied & paid for a visa for my wife, then we scheduled the interview. I wasn't allowed to attend the interview and her visa was denied. MY WIFE'S VISA WAS DENIED. The reason, my wife told me, was because she doesn't have enough stamps in her passport, which sounded arbitrary to me. Now we're spending our money visiting other countries so we can pay for another interview and pay for a trip for my wife to meet my family. After the failed interview, I suggested to my wife that we fly to Mexico and walk through the open border, like everybody else. If millions of new immigrants don't need a visa, why should my wife?

Great content Mandy. As a former consular officer, I agree 💯. It can be really frustrating for applicants but given the way the law is written and the onus being on the applicant to convince the officer that they won't be misusing the visa, sometimes a couple questions is all it takes to know that you doubt the person in front of you and don't believe them.

So my question is, should I turn up for the interview with the old passport with less than 6 months left to expire since I used it for the online application, or I should go with the new passport for the interview? I will be glad to get your feedback. Thank you.

[@annjcd4608]

The consul holds the key, no rules, no guidebook. It all depends on their so called mood and perspective. Some people provide all the details, but the consul might think they're blabbering. Others keep their answer short, but that might not be enough; Some people share it all, but the consul may not be impressed. Others keep it brief, but that might not work either and most of the time you still get denied even though you have strong family, social and economical ties to your home country. Navigating this process is challenging, as there is no clear formula for success, and the best approach remains unclear..

they may interview people day in day out but it’s not logical nor is it ethical to base their assumptions on a 6th sense. they don’t even see the mental stress for the applicants and the journey of the entire process just to be refused because of a 6th sense. being in an LDR is stressful enough on a marriage. we spent almost 2 years putting everything together and saving up money to file for my husband’s visa while also traveling to be with him, we submitted everything according to what would be sufficient evidence to prove our relationship only for someone who doesn’t know us or has spent time with us when we’re together decided that our relationship wasn’t real.

Hello Mam, I am in Africa since 2009. The first time I applied for B1/B2 visa was in 2010 in Africa, and it was refused saying that I should apply for my visa from my home country (India) with my family, after asking where my family is and if they know about my US visit. Now Once again I am planning to apply for B1/B2 visa from Africa, and in the DS-160 application, I mentioned about my last refusal, with "no appropriate reason explained". May I know, what should I say, if this time I am asked about why it was refused last time? As it was not explained to me why it was refused and I do not think the family was the reason. Please guide.

Hey Mandy .. what if you separate with spouse but not yet having divorce decree so partner is not available on the day of interview, is it possible to get my visa and my children as well, although spouse was on accompany eb3 visa

[@mohammedkhaledtipu2376]

Thanks, I have a question. Is a travel record is very important? In DS-160 we can mention only 5 years of travel record. Can We mention previous travel records that we traveled more than 5 years ago in DS-160?

[@ZFvisa]

Absolutely. You might also want to bring other travel up during your visa interview.

Is it that they don't give housewives US visa? I went to America last year on a visiting visa and thought it would had been easier to receive a visa after visit but i guess i was wrong . I went on a visa interview this morning and got denied.. i dont know if is because i am not working or what.. And yes i have been married for 20 years with 2 children and the person asked that and who the peraon is to me where i will be staying .. Does it have to be a family member on your application form for place of stay when you are applying for a visa? Is it a problem if you put friend on your application form when applying for your visa?

[@eileenwatt8283]

They may think your friend is going to help you stay in the USA.

My parents' visa got rejected like this. They didn't even check their documents that prove their ties to the home country and just rejected under 214b. They have only looked at the letter of invitation. I had mentioned about the ties they have to the country in it. They genuinely cannot overstay. They have not even asked about any questions about the ties they have to the home country. So, next time should I just emphasize more on their ties to the home country in a more convincing way in the letter i write?

[@ZFvisa]

No, they probably won't look at the letter. It's more about how your parents present themselves at the interview.

That is not right and things need to change at USCIS! For U.S. citizens married to Foreign National Spouses being denied Tourism Visas and or marriage visas and green cards is basically violating human rights. Separation of U.S. citizens from their spouses is a violation of International Law too! Support the American Families United Act, HR1698.

If that sounds silly to you...that's because it is. She claims that interviewers have thousands of interview experiences...what they are doing is stereotyping in fact. According to Harvard studies even best trained psychologists are only 50% right when cold or hot reading a subject. They are mocking human dignity.@@ApolloStoic

I was rejected because I want to do a second degree primarily because I want to change my career . The visa officer didn't give me the opportunity to present my case and explain my career goals .He immediately dismissed !!!

[@BillHughes-hz8ei]

My fiancee was denied a visitor visa, she wanted to come visit and meet my family before we decided to proceed with the K1. She was denied due to "insufficient proof" she would return. Even though she just started a new job, signed a 1 year lease on an apartment and has all her family in her home country dependent on her, there some how was not enough proof. So we just pushed our plans ahead and went through with the K1 visa, currently it is in the system somewhere.

It’s truly not fair because here in the US there are tons of undocumented people that are currently being taken cared of by our government. They gove them food and a place to stay in NY. I don’t understand that why is it it Only takes them a minute or two to deny applicants who has complete documents and sincere reasons why they’re applying for US Visa.
