What does this mean?????

Hi Everybody,

I had gone 4 non-immigrant visa interview & the councellor told me that i have been refused under section 221(g) and told me to bring so & so document.But the letter she gave me contains a cross mark on section 214(b).
Now Iam confused & worried as to under which section should I consider myself being refused.

Anybody here who can help me out of this confusion.PLEASE.

Thanking You in advance.

Your post would be more appropriate in the US Visas forum. Please state the country in which you reside, your nationality and the exact visa you are applying for.

This really helps others to understand your circumstances.

Hello there. First of all, let me tell you that I wouldn't sweat a quick re-application. What I've seen over the years is that once your visa application is turned down and you're re-applying before 1 year is up then you're just wasting your time and money. Especially if documentation of assets etc. remains same.

Quote:

Applicants are refused under Section 221(g) INA if they provided insufficient information for a consular officer to determine visa eligibility. Applicants are refused under Section 214(b) INA if they are unable to demonstrate to the satisfaction of a consular officer that they have a residence outside the United States which they do not intend to abandon and that their ties to another country are strong enough to compel then to depart the United States after a temporary stay.

Obviously they want you to prove that you'll be heading back to your home country when/before your visa is up. In other words you have to document that you have a job commitment and enough properties, assets etc. IMHO this refusal is totally finance related. Basically the visa officer you talked to was convinced that you would go to the USA and never leave again. Which is what non-immigrant visas are not designed for.

Good luck.
