B1/B2 rejected twice for business purpose, implications and wait times

B1/B2 rejected twice for business purpose, implications and wait times - Bored formal man watching laptop at desk

I was denied a B1/B2 visa twice in a span of one month for business purposes.

1st application was denied for the fact that my company was sending me for around 3 months.

2nd application i made for 3 weeks and that i guess raised suspicions and didnt go through as well, in both cases i received the standard 214b and the officer was suspecting i would be working, told me to apply for different category.

My profile is as follows Male Indian living in singapore for last 6 years with an above average salary in the field of engineering, during my lifetime i have travelled to 20+ countries till now. I also work for a well reputed US firm. My Visa Application Center was also Singapore.

I wish to travel to US in the future maybe after a year for tourism, will the officer still be worried that i intend to work there, since I don’t plan to change my company for the next few years and it will always have its HQ in US, moreover going as a tourist will it still not be classified as change in circumstances, since this time i wont be having company letters. I know people earning way less than me also successfully managed to secure a US Visa, its very difficult for me to overcome this refusal.

Moreover i want to travel to Australia next month on a tourist visa, i have also been granted one in the past, will this record pose serious implications to all my visa applications in the future to any other countries especially to Australia since i have already planned my trip and will be applying for the visa now.

Or is it safe to assume my travelling days are over?

I have seen threads that say to change personal circumstances, i believe apart from age change and maybe salary change i have nothing to offer, since my travel history is pretty decent.

Can someone guide me?

What happens if my B2 visa is denied?

We always tell people that you should take some time in between applications. If your B2 or B1 visit visas have been denied we would suggest waiting at least six months, and preferably a year, before you reapply. Constantly reapplying does you no good.

How many times can we apply for US visa after rejection?

As per some immigrant department of certain countries, you cannot reapply immediately after your visa application was rejected was because the conditions due to which it was refused will not change overnight. Hence, you can only reapply in most cases six months after the refusal of your visa application.

Can we apply B1 visa after rejection?

Do refused applicants have to wait three to six months before reapplying? There is no time restriction on resubmitting an application after a refusal. If additional information or supporting documentation is available which may further demonstrate applicant's qualification for a visa, an application may be resubmitted.

How many times can I enter on B1 B2 visa?

The holder of a B-2 visa can stay for a maximum of 180 days per entry (several times consecutively or at a time). These conditions apply to all visits until the visa has expired. After that the person must reapply for the visa at their U.S. consulate.
