    Need adive / B-2 Visa for second time denied

    in Tourist Visas

    Posted

    Hey good evening,

    hmm, you're right regarding ESTA. @az2014

    Our plan is to stay here in Austria. Once he's done studying (2 or 3 years) he will come over.

    @JFH we thought about that too, but the problem is that he's studying and working. He can't really take off from school and work at the same time. Thats why I wanted to visit him.

    And as you've said, I'm definitely not paying them any more money to get denied.

    @Shiobhan, Exactly! Especially cause there are so many forms and tricky questions. I did stick to the truth through all conversations and forms. Cause you never know.

    But thank you all for your replies, feeling pretty naive that I actually thought it would work out.

    Hey,

    thank you two for the fast replies.

    I brought proof that the flat I'm renting is on my name, as all paychecks and contract from my work, a bank statement, evidence that I've been living my whole life in Asutria, etc. But the officer didn't wanted to have a look on anything(!). She didn't even wanted to see my proof from the magistrate that my fiance was staying that certain time at my place. She didn't wanted to have a look on any paper I showed her to proof my statements.

    I am originally from Serbia, but I have to add that I am born in Austria and was raised there too. Over the past 5 years I've been 4 times for 3 days in Serbia (they checked that in my passport). I've got a permanent visa for the EU, which they checked too. I would take the Austrain citizenship since I've spent my whole life here and do not plan moving anywhere. I basically gotta bring them my school reports and work contract as a paper that says that I'm resigning the Serbian citizenship. After that I'd wait a few months and would get the Austrian citizenship.

    Looking back, I should have done that before applying the second time.

    But I guess that getting that soon engaged (We know each other for 3 years) didn't work in my favour either. Probably got already sorted to those stereotypical 90s russian women that married for money....

    My fiance [26/m] already stayed at my [23/F] place the last two times for a month and met all my friends and family. So I wanted to get to know his family and appied for a B-2 tourist visa (because I don't want to immigrate there) and got it again denied because apparently I couldn't prove my strong ties.

    Currently I feel like that I will probably never get it. Even when we marry they will for sure assume that I only want to immigrate to the US.

    I just got over him leaving home and am dealing really bad with this situation now. I'm about to change my citizenship. With the new citizenship I would apply through ESTA/Visa Waiver (which I can't with my current). But even then I'm afraid that the Home Security Officer may turn me down at the airport cause they probably have insight about my previous attempts, which may make me for them sketchier.

    Did anyone of you have similar problems? I feel so hopeless and misunderstood. My fiance said that he will try to come as often as he can, but that would only be once and max twice a year. :(

    tl;dr: B-2 tourist visa to visit fiance for second time denied. Troubles dealing with it. Any advice as your personal experiences are more than welcome!

    Well getting another nationality won't help as you'll always have to answer "yes" to have you ever been declined a US visa question.

    What is your other nationality?

    Did you meet the BF in person yet? And what are the plans?

    Hey, thank you for your fast reply.

    Q1: My nationality is Serbia. And I was just thinking that it may be a stronger bond, having the Austrian nationality (I'd get it quite easy, that's why I was considering that)

    Q2: Yeah, he's been here this month (~20 days). During that time he was officially registered at my place.

    Our plans are moving at some point together, here in Austria, when he's done with studying (~5 years left). Currently we thought about visiting each other once in half a year.

    Hello, new here!

    Last December I applied for a Tourist Visa B2 to see a friend, but got denied cause I just started studying in September, didn't had a job, officer didn't understood the program I was in (getting paid 800€/month for studying) and cause I've never met the friend in person before. According to my friend, or now bf, it was also probably cause I was a 21 year old, single, female from europe. Another reason may have been too that I've spend my whole life in Ausria (born here), but having another Nationality.

    The officer himself was actually quite hestistant about denying my visa. (After asking his boss, he issued me the denial (214b)). He told me that if I' had a job or was studying longer, it would have been better.

    So now I've been studying for about a year, but just recently dropped out and found a job. My question is, how long do you think should I be at least working before applying again for a Tourist Visa?

    Also I'm thinking of giving up my current Nationality and applying for the Austrian one, since this my have been an issue too. Wouldn't that show the officer that I'm more willing to stay here than moving to the States? (stronger ties to home coutry?)

    Thank you for reading, if myquestions were already asked I'd be glad for a link.

    regards,
