 Recently my friend was denied her B1 visitors visa, it was explain that she didn't had strong ties to the country. Here in the Bahamas  citizens are allowed to travel to America  using their passport and police record if they didn't had a visa, which she had done before. My question is because she got  denied for the visitors visa does that means she can't travel on her passport and police record anymore either.

No that's not true. She can still travel on her passport and police record.
The only real reasons for her to get a visa are reasons of convenience. Without the visa, she can only enter the US through pre-clearance sites in the Bahamas (Nassau and Freeport), and if US Customs officers aren't at the airport that day for any reason (weather, emergency, etc) then she cannot travel to the US. Also they always 'reserve the right' to deny entry while traveling without a visa (although I've never seen this happen).


The officers at the airport have no reason to believe she was denied a visa and even if they do know, it does't mean that she will not be allowed to travel to the US. Just think of it as she was denied the 'convenience of having a visa' rather than being denied entry to the US.

  • On Oct 13th AOS status was updated to say that a notice was returned due to post office being unable to deliver it. Tier two told me that it was biometrics or NOA1 (even though I had received both before this date).

  • A few weeks later I received a notice dated Nov 10th, in regards to my call about the Oct 13th notice. The new notice said that there were no RFE's or withholding on my case. So still not sure what this Oct 13th notice was about.

  • Received a letter from a NY office on Dec 23rd (dated Dec 10) stating that my medical was over 1 year old. (At this point my medical was only 7 months old)

  • Teir two submitted an internal service request to which I got a response telling me that I need to respond to RFE ASAP

  • Submitted another service request on 1/6/17. To which I got a response on 1/19/17 stating that my case was pending and is outside of processing time (no mention of RFE)
