Refused from Study Permit (Canada) Thinking of applying for B2 to visit my sister, her husband and my nephew

[wizee1 0]

I applied a study permit application on 4th of Dec (Columbia Bible College for Worship arts 2 year diploma). I got a refusal on 18th of December and the objection was only the purpose of visit nothing else. The VO stated 

"Upon a complete review of the application, previous academic and employment history and the reasonableness of undertaking the proposed studies in Canada, I am not satisfied you are a bona fide student and would depart Canada at end of authorized stay"

 

My sister lives in the NJ, USA with her husband who is an American National and has a strong status wealth wise and is willing to sponsor me for my trip and will provide me an invite for my nephews first birthday which is at 22nd of Feb. How possible is that I could get a B2 visa for this?

While the Canadian refusal won’t impact directly, it’s a fair bet that the same factors that led to their decision would be problematic for a US visa application. 

 

Official US guidance on this issue:

 

Evidence of your employment and/or your family ties may be sufficient to show the purpose of your trip and your intent to return to your home country. If you cannot cover all the costs for your trip, you may show evidence that another person will cover some or all costs for your trip.

 

Note: Visa applicants must qualify on the basis of the applicant's residence and ties abroad, rather than assurances from U.S. family and friends. A letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support is not needed to apply for a nonimmigrant tourist visa. If you do choose to bring a letter of invitation or Affidavit of Support to your interview, please remember that it is not one of the factors that we use in determining whether to issue or deny a nonimmigrant tourist visa.

there is no sponsoring for a tourist visa

 

you will undergo the same scrutiny as before, you need to show strong ties to your country and reasons to return

 

you have ties to the US, and you must overcome the presumption that you will overstay

 

yes, he can write a letter, but most likely the officer won't even look at it, it isn't important

 

what's important are your reasons to return

US and Canada share data.

Brother in law's wealth has zero affect on your B2 visa process. US tourist visas do not require sponsorship. Apply in your country
