US Visa Assistance
US visitor visas (B-1 for business, B-2 for tourism and visiting family) are applied for using the online DS-160 form, followed in most cases by an interview at a US embassy or consulate.
At the interview, a consular officer decides on the application, often on the same day. Preparation matters: your answers should be truthful, clear and consistent with your DS-160.
What we commonly help with
- Checking your DS-160 answers for accuracy and consistency
- Interview preparation: understanding what the officer needs to establish
- Understanding a refusal, including refusals under section 214(b)
- Deciding whether and when to re-apply
Section 214(b) refusals
Many US visitor visa refusals are made under section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which means the officer was not satisfied that the applicant qualifies, often concerning ties to the home country. There is no appeal against a 214(b) refusal; a new application is needed, and it is most useful when circumstances have changed.
