Why was my tourist visa denied?

I tried apply for a tourist visa to the US because my cousin was get married. It was denied and I was told that attending a marriage was not good enough reason. What could be a better reason!!?? IF they would deny that, then what wouldn't they deny? This was one year ago in Syria.

They deny for any reason that they choose. My fiance's family have been denied as well.

Syria? That's probably your answer.

They don't care what your reason for traveling to the US is.. Whether you want to attend a wedding or go to Disneyland. They care that you're actually planning to go as a tourist, and return to your country after your visit.

To get a tourist visa, one must show strong ties to their home country, in order to remove any doubt that the person will in fact return home.

Given the current situation in Syria, unfortunately, I imagine getting a tourist visa to be very difficult. The officer interviewing you most likely did not believe that you intended to return.

They don't care why you want to come to the US so much as why you have to leave and go back to your own country. You have to show sufficient proof that you will return home!
