I have read many different websites and asked many people. But I would like your info. So in your particular case, what 'ties' did you show to prove to the consular office in order to get a visa? Please also post whether u got the visa or not.

My wife, canadian PR for 2.5 years, showed a) university documents (transcripts, letter) b) job letter (part-time at the university itself though) c) bank statements d) rental agreement. I am a student in England temporarily.

However visa was denied for lack of ties.
 
Who applied, you or your wife? Was your Canadian PR wife applying in Canada? Your post does not make it clear who applied and where.
 
That is odd. US consulates in Canada have a low refusal rate for PRs of Canada. Has your wife lived in Canada for 2.5 years or just been a PR for that period without actually living there? Was she applying for a B-2 visa? What passport does she hold?

We live in Toronto. She has lived here in Toronto with me for 2.5 years. She was applying for a B-2 visa, on an Indian passport.

She had 3 previous applications; 1 was 1 mth before immigrating to US, 2nd was 2 mths after immigrating, and 3rd was 1.5 years after immigrating.
 
Did the interviewing consul know that her spouse (you) are currently not living in Canada? Does she have any US citizen or PR relatives in the states? The refusal was 214(b) right?

Yes, we told them that I would be out of the country on a temporary basis for approx 1.5 years. Actually I have returned to Canada and am working in Toronto currently. No relatives (citizen or PR) in the US. refusal was 214b.
