B-2 visa appeal
My brother was denied a B-2 visa recently. He was invited to visit me
by my fiance who is a US citizen. My current status is an F-1 student.
The immigration officer denied my brother a visa on the grounds of
insufficient ties outside the US and circled the field on the
application where my brother put my name and my status
(sister-student).
we're thinking about appeal where he needs to present a very strong
evidence for them to change their minds.what supporting documents
should I obtain so that my brother can appeal?
Thank you in advance

Re: B-2 visa appeal
You cannot appeal a decision by a consular officer (by the way, this is
not an immigration officer. Different department! Immigration is
Department of Homeland Security, consulates are Dept. of State)
You can do two things: request a reconsideration. This is an informal
process where you are basically asking the consulate "hey, I think you
made a mistake, and I qualify, after all". I doubt that this will be
successful unless there was a glaringly obvious misjudgement. It sounds
like the decision was pretty much within the bounds of what is normal.
The other possibility is to reapply from scratch. Be sure to include
plenty of evidence that he will return. Good evidence is him having a job
to return to, owning a home, or having a family. If you can't present good
new evidence, then you have to wait at least six months with reapplying.
