Insufficient evidence of ties to home country

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.

Inconsistent travel purpose vs visa category

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.

Insufficient funds or weak financial profile

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.

Incomplete or missing supporting documents

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.

Previous visa refusal history

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.

Passport validity or quality issues

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.
