Hi,
I am a senior software engineer working for one of the MNC Company in Bangalore, India. I have total experience of 5.5yrs and my age - 27yrs. I am married and having kid of 1.5yrs.
Here is my case:
I have applied for H1B work permit during the year 2008, which got accepted in random pickup process, but i didn’t apply for the Visa here in India till now due to family / personal reasons.
Last month my current company applied for B1/B2 visa for a business trip in US, where i need to be there for about 2-3 weeks. For this Visa interview i took all the required documents like - visa application form, Invitation letter, deputation letter from the company stating all the expenses will be taken care by the company and all other experience and education certificates.
Interview:
Q)From which company you are applying for?
A)XXXXX
Q)What reason you are going for?
A)In our project the next phase of development is going to start, for which i required to be there for discussing the requirements, and kind of Analysis and design.
Q)Are you going for working there?
A) Its for Analysis and Design, discussion.
Q)Are you married?
A)Yes
Q)Have you ever travelled outside the country?
A)yes, i been to Singapore twice,
He looked at my passport and later he was looking at the monitor quite bit of time 30sec
Q)what is your salary?
A)it is 60k/month ( I didn’t specified that this is the net amount my actual gross was 70k/month – 8.5lac/month)
He spent 30sec, typed something and looked at the monitor and told sorry we cannot process your visa today. Please better luck next time, handed me a letter stating the reason (below). He didn't even look at any of my documents other than my application and passport.
The reason was:
You do not qualify for a non-immigrant visa under section214 (b) of the United States Immigration and Nationality Act. This portion of the law states:” Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consalar office, at the time application for a visa.. that he is entitled to non-immigrant status.." This means that each visa applicant must convince the cousalar officer that he or she intents to return to his or her home in India following a temporary stay in the united states, that his or her financial situation is such that he or she can afford the trip without having to seek unauthorized employment the U.S, and that the travel is for legitimate purposes permitted by the applicant's visa category.
Please provide you valuable inputs on my case, where can be the problem could be?
Which situations does this kind of rejections may happen?
When can i go for the next interview? My company planning to apply for my B1/B2 visa again, How many days i need to wait for applying again?
Now i want to apply for H1B visa also, is it good to apply now. Please suggest me applying H1 or B2, which one will be good for go now.
My last question is, how to face my next visa interview, and what answer do i need to give for above rejection.
Please provide your suggestions... Pls
Thank you so much..,
