Understand why visas get rejected.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Family / Ties

Officers assess whether you have compelling economic, family and social ties that would make your return likely. When the record does not show strong ties, the legal presumption of immigrant intent may not be overcome.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Travel Purpose

The stated purpose of travel must match the visa category. Applying for a tourist visa while describing activities that look like work or settlement undermines credibility.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Financial Profile

You must show you can comfortably afford the trip without needing to work. Low or irregular funds, or unexplained deposits, raise questions.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Documentation

Missing, expired or inconsistent supporting documents weaken an application. Each required item exists to answer a specific eligibility question.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Previous Refusal

A prior refusal is not an automatic bar, but it must be disclosed honestly. Repeated refusals without changed circumstances can reduce credibility.

United States · B1-B2 Tourist · Eligibility

A passport must be valid for the required period and in good condition. Damage to the bio-data page or low remaining validity can block travel.
