What You should Do If Your USA Visa Application Is Denied
If your visa is denied, you may be able to do something to reverse the denial. You can appeal the decision. In most cases, you must submit additional documentation that you have not submitted with the initial application. In some cases, the visa officer may request additional documentation such as proof of employment or ownership of a home or business. You have to reply with the requested vital information.
A fax or email from your school in the United States to the embassy or consulate in your city that contains details about your capabilities, and requesting that the application be reconsidered, can help you succeed in the appeal. Faxes should be addressed to the Chief of Nonimmigrant Visas of the consular post in question. Fax and telephone numbers are available on the State Department website, using usembassy.state.gov .
Practical Tips To Get Your Visa
Once they approve your visa, you will receive it in a few days.
Visa Definitions
The United States issues different types of visas for students.
A full-time student receives an F-1 or M-1 visa .
Your spouse and children receive F-2 or M-2 visas .
An Exchange Visitor receives a J-1 visa. Exchange visitors come to the United States for consultations, training, research or teaching, or for an authorized Au Pair position (childcare in a family home) or a temporary job.
"Intention to return"
Most student or exchange visitor visa applications are approved. The most common reason for denying an application is that the person requesting the visa has not shown the official that he will return to his country when he completes his studies in the United States. Formally this rule is mostly termed as Section 214.b.
To determine your “intention to return” to your country, the visa officer will ask you a series of questions about your links to your country of origin and about your study plans. Again, you have to make the official believe that your family or sponsors have the capacity to sponsor your first year of your intended stay in the United States, and that you sponsor the rest of your education time there.
You must have with you all the required formulators, including the I-20 or the DS-2019 , the DS-160 and the proof of payment of the SEVIS. You must carry with you all the documents that show how you are going to pay for your education and why you will return to your country. Some examples of such documents are previous passports that show foreign travel, bank statements or salary receipts, family or study documents.
