Denied US visa twice

I have applied for us visa 2nd time, and it has been rejected again. The first time was in 2015. I applied without any plan and without any tentative schedule, and this time I have applied with proper channels. I plan to go to us for 7 days as a head of the delegation of team India to participate in international aerobic championship and attached invite from the US consulate, invite from us aerobics association, NOC from my employer, covering letter from Indian aerobic association, etc... They ask me why you are going now as aerobics is very popular and you should have visited other countries earlier why USA only. Then they asked why US consulate have invited you. I answer as we associated with American aerobics association. And they rejected my visa.

I want to know the basic reason of rejection, as it was a trip to participate in international sports competition.



Best Answer

They didn't believe that you plan to leave the US at the end of the event you're planning to take part in, probably.

This may be triggered by your earlier refused entry making them extra cautious, or by a recent high number of overstays from people from your part of the world for example.

But the only people who can answer for certain are those who handled your visa application, best contact them and ask what more information they'd need for them to reconsider their refusal.

Can I reapply for US visa after denial?

Can I reapply for a visa? After being found ineligible for a visa, you may reapply in the future. If you reapply for a visa after being found ineligible, with the exception of 221(g) refusals, you must submit a new visa application and pay the visa application fee again.

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.

What happens if your US visa is refused?

When your visa application is refused under section 221(g), you will be given a written letter notifying you of the visa refusal and will have 12 months from that date to submit the requested documents without having to reapply and without having to pay a new visa application fee.

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.
