Previous Visa Refusal/Filed under wrong Category in another country
I am looking for a tourist visa for UK and whiling filling online application, they are asking whether Visa for any other country was ever refused. 4 years ago, I had applied for US work Visa but I was not issued Visa as Visa officer mentioned that I filed Visa under wrong category. Later on, I revised my application with right category and got my Visa and since then I have been working in USA. Now, question here is, for UK tourist Visa purpose, does it mean I have to say "YES" in the point they ask Visa for any other country was ever refused in last 10 years?
Best Answer
Saying yes and explaining what you have written is the safest option and is not expected to have any impact on your new application.

Do embassies know about visa refusal in other countries?
The embassy doesn't track your refusal, CLASS does. That's a database accessible to every American consular officer in the world at the click of a mouse, so it's not just the embassy where the visa refusal takes place.Does previous refusal affect future visa application?
Even if you have been refused with a visa in the past, if you mention the truth, you will be able to explain the visa refusal reasons behind it, and might even be able to convince the officials with new correct information and documents. In most cases, visa related information is shared between countries.What happens if you make a mistake on your visa application?
Mistakes on application form can be disastrous. If the mistake is interpreted by officials as an attempt to mislead or deceive, the application must be refused. If the application is for an entry clearance, it will also lead to a 10 year ban on re-entry.How long does the UK embassy keep refusal records?
If the refusal is based on misrepresentation, we'll keep your fingerprints and photo for 10 years. If the refusal is based on health concerns, financial reasons or non-compliance, we'll keep your fingerprints and photo for 5 years.Don't Do This in Your Visa Application | Failure to Disclose Past Visa Refusal | #misrepresentation
