What does a consular officer look for during a visa interview?
Each case is different in its own and consular officer evaluates each visa application on its own merits according to visa law and procedures. In addition to U.S. security, the officer considers the applicant’s personal circumstances, honesty, travel plans, financial resources and ties outside of the United States that will ensure his/her departure after a temporary visit.
Consular officers tend to focus on factors that help us determine whether the applicants possess compelling ties to applicant’s home country:
- If the applicants have traveled to the U.S. previously, how long did they stay? If they stayed longer than 6 months, did they have INS approval to do so? (Note: Please have the applicants bring their INS extension approval notices to their interview).
- If the applicants have traveled to the U.S. previously, how long have they been back in home country?
- How many children and grandchildren do the applicants have back in home country?
- Have the relatives in the U.S. ever returned to home country to visit their families as is normal for foreign students, workers, and residents in the U.S.?
- Are the applicant active professionally in their home country; if so, what is their income and the nature of their work?
The answers to these questions relate to whether applicants can fulfill the statutory requirement of the Immigration and Nationality Act to show that they have a permanent residence in their home country.
Each visa application is thoroughly examined and evaluated on its own merits.
If my visa rejected , can I get my fee back ?
No, if your visa rejected there is no refund of the visa application fee.
How do I appeal a visa refusal?
There is no right of appeal for nonimmigrant visa decisions. You can re-apply if you want. There is no restriction on number of time you can re-apply. Each time you must go though the complete process including paying the fee.
