US visa point of contact [closed]

I am visiting a friend in the US who is doing au pair work with a family there. I put her contact details on my DS-160 form as my US point of contact and my visa was denied. Could it be the problem? Should I rather put the contact details of the people she is working for on my form? What else can possibly be the reason for a 214b denial?

Best Answer

A 214 B denial implies that the consular officer who was examining your visa application was not convinced that you were intending to return to your home country before the expiry of the visa. As explained here on the website of the US Embassy in Mexico, the consular officer has to be convinced that:

Has a home outside the United States that they will not abandon;

Is visiting the United States temporarily and will leave when the stated purpose of travel is complete;

Is able to pay for the trip; and

Meets the requirements of the visa type for which they are applying, and/or that planned activities in the U.S. are allowed by that category.

The exact reason for your visa refusal is hard to tell, but will definitely be related the consular officer not being convinced about either or all of the above points mentioned.
