Hello,
I had F-1 visa refusal under 214(b) about 12 years back in India. Now I hold UK passport and in the last 3 years or so I had traveled to US many times under visa waiver program. During these visits I didn\'t disclose about my prior visa refusals on the I-94W form.
Now I want to apply H-1 visa at the embassy and I have a concern on how to answer the question about prior visa refusals on the visa application.
If I disclose about prior visa refusal correctly, will I have any problem since I didn\'t disclose properly on I-94W forms before?
If I do not disclose the prior visa refusal, will this be classified as misrepresentaion and result in any visa ineligibility?
I am in a fix as to how to proceed.
Will consul find out about my F-1 visa refusal from 12 years back? Someone told me that 214(b) refuslas are purged within 2 years from their system.
I was hoping for some comments on this situation.
Many thanks.
