Hi All,

Does a previous refusal of a student visa to ths US ( almost 6 years prior) affect one's chances of getting a H1-B visa ?

Because, there is a section in the non-immigration visa application that asks for any past refusals.

I appreciate your response. Also, pls. share any experience relating to this with US consulate in chennai.

Thanks,

It depends on the reason for the denial of the student visa. Some things may have no effect at all and others could preclude all US entry.
