The main reasons for refusing a visa to the United States
The reasons for the refusal of a visa can be called much more, because the human factor is involved in the matter, and it can never be fully predicted. And, in general, you will not be directly informed of any of these possible reasons - in most cases, the formal text of the refusal does not clarify the situation. But even if you were denied a visa to the United States, do not rush to panic, this does not mean that the way to America is closed to you forever.
However, it is much more effective to prevent problems from occurring and not to solve them. That is why we wrote you the most common reasons for refusing a US visa and urge you never to do so.
Limited ties to homeland
The duty of the consular officer is to treat every foreigner as a possible immigrant, and the task of the foreigner is to prove him the opposite. This is done with the help of certificates of employment, documents for real estate, about the presence of a family or relatives who remain in their native country. In addition to the unprepared, for this reason, young people also suffer. These guys usually have no children, they don’t own a flat or a house, they don’t work anywhere, and if they work, they have only recently settled down or earn very little. Young people are considered very mobile, full of strength, energy and ambition, and, as a result, more inclined to immigration.
Few trips abroad
A refusal of a US visa may be caused by a bad visa history. But the fact that you have been in other countries and returned from there on time will testify to your law-abiding and strong ties with the motherland. In this case, preference is given to European countries, because, you see, few people want to immigrate to Turkey, Egypt or other states with a low level of development.
Suspicious invitation
It's no secret that of US citizens excellent husbands and wives for those who really want to immigrate to America. Therefore, if you met on the Internet and are going to meet your lover / lover, the visa officer may be suspicious. Also, he is likely to be alerted by an invitation written in broken English, or an invitation drawn up by the inviting party or certified by a notary in the consular black list.
Flimsy information regarding travel objectives and excitement
When asked directly at the interview about the purpose of the trip, it is advisable to speak confidently and specifically. For example, if your goal is tourism, tell us about which cities you want to visit, what to see, provide some kind of tickets or routes. A refusal of a US visa can also be caused by your nervousness, anxiety, and doubts during an interview, so try to keep yourself as calm and collected as possible.
Births in the USA
In itself, the desire to have a child in America is not a reason for refusing a visa, but if you have already given birth in the United States and have left American taxpayers for medical bills, you will not receive a visa. Also, doubts may arise if at the time of the first application you were pregnant, but the real reasons for the trip were hidden.
Lack of finance
If you are traveling to the USA to be treated, you must provide documents confirming your financial ability to pay for such treatment (medicine is not cheap in America). The situation is similar with students: if you are going to the States on study, then they should be able to pay for it themselves or with the help of a sponsor. And in general, a low level of income will cause the visa officer to suspect that you are going to work in the United States illegally and improve your financial situation, or you will become a “dead weight” on society by applying for social benefits and payments.
Various violations
If, on your last visit, you exceeded your stay on a visa, stole a chocolate bar in an American store, drank alcohol in public places, worked on a tourist visa or did something else from the category of “no”, you are more likely to be denied a visa. If you have exceeded the legal period of stay in the country for a period from 6 months to 1, you will not be allowed into the States for the next three years, and if more, the way to the USA is closed for you for the next 10 years.
