Visa Denied 214(B)

[Jayson R. 0]

Hi,
Blue form tells me I can re-apply only if there is a significant change of circumstances. I have not yet meet my half brother, he is disabled and he has a ventilator to breathe. I was not been given a chance to tell this to the consul nor show him medical records from his doctor. Should I reapply again with the same application? He's my only brother and life is short.

have your circumstances changed and how long ago did you apply

 

if nothing has changed then no, you will be denied, 

 

you might be showing stronger ties to the US than to your country, what ties do you have to show that you will return, that you won't stay in the US to be with your brother?

Applying again will likely lead to the same results. The form states that significant changes need to happen. The consular is not required to look at your documents during the interview.

 

Sorry to hear about your brother.

The significant factor would be your reason not to stay.

I just got denied today. I'm a seafarer with a canadian working visa and us c1 for crewmen visa. Problem is, I was just a deck cadet back then and in the next contract I will be an ordinary seaman. He asked how much will be my salary when I get onboard the next time around, I said probably around a thousand dollars, it varies(gave him the minimum / did not include over time and extra pay) He asked me to show him my left hand because I lost my pinky finger, so I did. I have my contract of employment prepared from my company but he never asked me for anything so I did not bother showing it. I have a little sister and a mother here(he didn't ask, so I didn't mention them). Thank you for the response, guys. If its really impossible then I'll follow your advices and just pray that he will have a long life.

I would also like to add that I kind of messed up my form because my place of birth should be different from my home address(I noticed when I got home). Plus the fact that I said "yes" to a question that he asked; "is it true that you stayed for 9 months in the us?" I said yes(in which he corrected me urgently and said south America is not u.s.a. But in reply, I told him inside gulf of mexico so south central America and quickly said sorry.) but never said its just an estimation based in my 1 year contract. The last question was what were my siblings doing there? I said we have different mothers instead of saying they are already citizens and are working there.

Have you been petitioned to immigrate to the US?

No, sir.

Sorry to hear. It seems like based on your circumstances and the answers you gave during the interview and the brother in the US, they're just not convinced that you will return.

 

What do you mean by the place of birth should be different from home address? Just curious how this could affect any decision that was made.

Consider re-applying when you have a new contract and job title. Also, try to avoid making any mistakes on the DS-160.

Sounds like the OP was between jobs.

Well if on the application it says place of birth and he writes his home address and that isn’t correct, that along with any other issues that came up during the interview, his trustworthiness comes into play.

 

 

@Jayson R.

 

if you want to come visit you’ll need to try when things have changed and you need to take extra care when filling out paperwork for this because they can see all prior applications filled out and compare that against new ones.

 

note that brothers and sisters, half or full, are not considered immediate relatives so they aren’t a priority for USCIS.

 

you need to prove that you have ties to your country or some country and it doesn’t seem like you really have that as your job is contractual (not permanent) and it takes you all over the map.

 

i agree with boiler, the significant change needs to be a change that happens that proves to them you won’t stay in the US.

Thanks for your helpful response, guys. Since I'm on vacation, I'll let go this stress off and go have a tour around a different country. My brother just got sad and he clearly understood the situation and accepted it. About the ucis.. I never intended to be an immigrant, sir Ash. Maybe if the consul have focused more on asking me about my job; why I picked it and what were my achievements academically and during my contract, then maybe he may have made a diff. decision. I love seafaring, meeting other people and knowing their diff. cultures plus tasting diff. food while working is quite awesome. Sitting inside an office and do the same work on a daily basis is boring for me. Again, Thank you guys!

Just for correction and clarification:

 

USCIS has nothing to do with Visitors Visas, those are handled by the Consular Section of the Embassies, and they are part of the Department Of State.

USCIS only comes into play when there is Immigration or work in the US involved.
