Hi My B1 visa was denied twice last year. I have to apply for an H4 visa now. Will
earlier B1 refusal create a problem with the current H4 application Thanks

INA 214(b) is the provision about immigrant intent, available through
http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/lawsregs/INA.htm. Here it
is:
_______

(j) Every alien (other than a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (H)(i) or (L) of
section 101(a)(15)) shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to
the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa,
and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he
is entitled to a nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15). An alien who is an
officer or employee of any foreign government or of any international
organization entitled to enjoy privileges, exemptions, and immunities under the
International Organizations Immunities Act [22 U.S.C. 288, note], or an alien who
is the attendant, servant, employee, or member of the immediate family of any
such alien shall not be entitled to apply for or receive an immigrant visa, or to
enter the United States as an immigrant unless he executes a written waiver in
the same form and substance as is prescribed by section 247(b) .

Since an H-4 visa application (for a dependent of an H-1B holder) cannot be denied
based on 214(b), you will most probably be successful.

Can you let us know whether you could apply for H4 and did you get it. If so, did they ask about the previous visa refusals in your H4 interview and which consulate do you belong to. Your answer would be great help.. Preeti

It depends on the reason for the denial. The most frequent reason -
suspected immigration intent - is usually not a problem because most H-4s
allow immigration intent.
