Answer Posted / friendly advice
B1 Visa is for Business travel and B2 is for tourism. As I understand, you wish to join your family in the US and hence want to apply for a tourist visa (B2). The downside is that they may look upon you as being desperate and there is a good likelihood that the visa will be rejected. Your case may also be marked as a suspect since you are applying for two categories (immigrant and non-immigrant) at the same time. This may not be illegal per se, but tourist visa is not the best category to take your chances. If I were you I would try to apply for some university/college there and try to get an F1. You can always claim that your long term goal is to study and settle in the US (hence the GC and F1 apps) but if the GC doesn't work out, you will come back to India and work there (and then hope that the GC works out). That way you will have a long term visa with potential H1B route, if the GC takes really long. You can also be sure to enter the US system and the job market in a strong way, unless your family has a business there.

Recently (February 2011) i got rejected for B1 visa. Visa consoler gave the reason that you didn't convince the visa consoler. My company is making arrangement to send me for second interview in March 2011. Actually my question is, in checking counter they asked me to take only the receipt, passport, confirmation slip and appointment letter to the US consoler. But I have an invitation letter from my client which specifies my schedule plan on my visit. Can I attach that plan document while giving the passport and other documents to the consoler?

I have been rejected B1 visa twice by US Embassy in Abu Dhabi. On both occassions I applied in name of my own trading business (invitation have been made by my US supplier) even though I actually work in Abu Dhabi under another sponsor.

Anyone can kindly advice on what are the chances of getting US visa.

Hi, I am working for AllState India since from 1.8 years(Overall 4.8 years of experience) and I had applied for B1 visa during Jan-2014 and it got rejected coz of 214(b) section.I would like to brief about the questions that are asked during my interview. 1.Why I am travelling to USA. 2.For how many days you are travelling. *Ans*: 8 weeks (as mentioned in my invitation letter) and the purpose of travelling . 3. Interviewer felt the period is very long and cross questioned me why such a long period. *Ans* : Repeated the same reason as said above with elaboration. 4. Again cross questioned , the said schedule is only for 4 weeks and what is the schedule for remaining 4 weeks. *Ans*:Repeated the above answer. (May be here i went wrong) 5. Asked about my overall experience,Domain knowledge , took all relevant documents and come back with the rejection form. :-( Now its 9 months passed , so shall I reapply for B1 again? If so , what are the things I need to considered before re-applying? I am still working in the same company (AllState India) , but this time I am suppose to get the invitation letter just for 1 week and in April-2014 my salary also got increased(even my manager mentioned he will change the designation as well in the invitation letter). So is it safe to reapply? OR how can I improve the chances? Your help will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Seema
