Hi,

I understand that if a B2 visa is denied the applicant can not file
again for a B2 for one year. Does a B2 rejection also affect when an
immigrant visa application can be made, in this case an I-130,
Petition for Alien Relative?

Also, if a B2 is denied once, does that hurt chances for receiving
another B2 a year later, given that the applicant's ties to their
native country are essentially the same? Or, is that somewhat
subjective depending on the consulate interviewer?

TIA,

CB

Giving this another try....

No

Yes and yes

No.

A B-2 visa application filed after a previous B-2 visa denial probably has a
lower chance of approval than an application with no previous history, as
the examiner will take into account the denial. However, each application
is supposed to be examined on its merits at the time of application. And
yes, a different examiner may have a different attitude.

Check out the web site of the american embassy (in the country the
visa applicant is from). They have list of documents to be presented
to the interviewer for non-immigrant visas. The more documents the
better:

*from the candidate:
Deed for his/her home,
proof for other tangible/intangible assets,
letter from employer,
bank statements, tax returns
children birth certificates,
certificates from aging parents(that the applicant is taking care of
them)

*inviting party:
invitation letter accompanied by photocopies of the status of the
inviting party, including contact phone numbers, address, etc,
possibly letter form employer.

Many, many people get rejected at first and get it the second time. I
don't think initial rejection affects how they look at the candidate
the second time. Good luck.
