Based on our own experience with family members came to visit us, having travel history to another countries outside ASEAN helps to obtain B1/B2 from Indonesia. As we posted previously, our family members all have Schengen and UK visas with lost of travel histories. Just like OP, they owned family businesses. Only one of the relatives was asked to show $10K funds in the bank account.

Thank you for this suggestion, but i think its unrelevant to show it anymore.

since i already brought every documents needed, and i even brought my assets documents, and bank accounts, but the CO didnt even wanna see it.

The amount money in my bank accounts are not the problem, it's the fact that i have a boyfriend who's settled too in US what makes them scared.

N if i were the CO, i would be afraid too since i have probability to buy assets in US, which makes it even scarier for them that i will overstay.

n for the countries, i admit that i never been to europe, but i've been to several countries, especially outside ASEAN, 

while europe is the ONLY continent that i haven't touched yet.

(This subject is uncomfortable to me, since i dont feel like to brag my status around)

So currently, we're decided to do immigration visa in the future, but for now its still not near future.

This is not true.

 

I met my Indonesian wife through dating app/site. We got our K-1 visa processed with no RFE and rather quick (see our timeline). My older brother also just married and finished his CR-1 visa with his Indonesian wife, whom he met through dating app/site.

ooh, tq for the good info..

we might gonna ask some suggestions in future if it's ok with u.

hope ur families r doing well.

For info, my boyfriend is in california too.

Please stick to english-only in this forum. Thanks. 

just to help this, she told me that her friend is rich (middle n high class) n had a chance to show it to the CO, but still got rejected.

which means, my answer before saying that the more assets we own in Indonesia just make the CO afraid that we might gonna buy property in US.

Yes, they both had B2 visas prior applying K-1 or CR-1. My wife used to work in Norway while my now in-law used to work in Australia. As stated on my previous post, for Indonesians travel histories outside ASEAN nations more important than letter invitation or funds.

 

usmsbow earlier indicated, usually for Indonesian middle class and upper don't have problems obtaining B2 visas.

 

yes, and i disagree with usmsbow actually. but still thankful for the suggestion.

while he didn;t know my economical status either to point out that sentence.

No problem for what? There are tons of posts on VJ from people like this being refused tourist visas to meet their boyfriend/girlfriend, even some on VWP being turned back at the POE.

ok,its just for info.

The CO didnt asked me how do i know my boyfriend.

the fact that my boyfriend in US n his job is settle are the main reason if i try to see from the CO point of view.

__________________

my summary for all this problem is to forget about the NIV n just do travelling with the US bf/gf to third countries, which visa also easy for both.

n if the couple could just try to meet the parents thing in the vacation countries.

it might help if the applicant is still working as an employee.

economical status is not a big major, but for the lower class is gonna be even harder since they might gonna try to seek for a better job/life in US,

which the COs r trying to avoid.

since my last answer, i've already made a statement to my boyfriend, that my CO was only trying to do his job.

n he might be responsible for the decisions he made, so if someone made NIV n married in US, its gonna be his problem too.

he might see that im not lying, but he cant risk his job too.

n for that i'm not blaming him at all, i was just shocked.

n i'm so grateful for this forum to help me to make this conclusion and plans.

i read all the answers, n we will try to learn more about the immigration visa.

i hope my summary can help others who got the same problems.

God bless u all

ok guys,

we wanna thank you all for the replies..

me and my boyfriend are much calmer now about the rejected visa, n we'll do our best to find a way out.

for the marriage, i think its still gonna be some couple years to come.

and we'll just trying to tackle each problems one by one.

we hope u guys have a good day, n wishing u n ur family members r good n healthy.

😊

Meeting a USC (American Citizen) through a dating app is a flag. Wonder if you've also met Indonesian men thru that app? 

 

Plus, Indonesia is a culturally conservative country, the world's largest muslim nation I think. COs know that, and may look at a 29-yr old single female travelling alone to visit a US boyfriend with suspicion. You'd be viewed as an overstay risk. 

Through the same app? yes i did met Indonesian guy, but i think we didnt go along quite well since he stopped contacting me too.

i also met some guys from other nations.

the fact that my boyfriend is from US doesnt made me want him more, it actually a fact that i usually said to my boyfriend might gonna be a problem for us,

n it happened to be true now (i think i jinx it)

its true,about the largest muslim country, that's what makes me scared to apply the visa too.

But for info, i'm not muslim, i didnt dressed like muslim.

But they actually didn't asked my religion.

But the interviewee saw the egypt, israel, n jordan stamps, which i told him it's for my pilgrimage

i was just hoping he understands the message.

Sorry, but it doesn't look like you'll receive a tourist visa. Consul doesn't have to look at any documents you bring, including the invitation letter.

 

Having US boyfriend is pretty popular reason for rejection.

 

Make an arrangement for boyfriend's family to visit you, if that's really so important. You made is sound like that's not a problem to "bring along his parents to meet your parents in Indonesia"."

hi, thank you for ur answer.

my friends told me the same thing too, they said i shouldn't said i got boyfriend in US, i better just said that i'll go travelling alone, since the work is kinda hectic nowadays, and just get refresh myself  bit.

but im kinda too scared to lie.

Well, for my boyfriend's parents, they would likely to come to Indonesia, but i think they expect me to meet them first before they come to my parents, as an act of politeness.

Especially bcoz my boyfriend already flew to Indonesia before, to meet my parents too.

i just hope they can understand the situation enough to come to Indonesia.

our other option is to have some vacation together, me and my boyfriend's family (exclude my family first,since my parents prefer that the male family come to female family first, after that both family can go vacation together n all) in other countries, like Japan, or HK, or Vietnam (any places that not require tight VISA like US), he'll try to talk to his parents first.

Could it be a good solution?

Thank you so much for ur help ☺️☺️

God bless

Agree, it’s more information than people usually get and also agree with no change in circumstances it’s unlikely to change the outcome at another interview.

 

out of curiosity, where did you meet your boyfriend - was it online or was it in person while one or not of you were traveling?

hi, just answering the question

it was through a dating application.

i wouldn't suggesting any apps, since its based on our luck and fate, i think.

because mostly dating apps experiences are bad, i just got 1 lucky fate to have my imperfect-but-perfectly-match-for-me boyfriend.

Hope it helps 😸

Oh my,

I'm so thankful for everyone who replied to my question.

it makes me kinda sad, because it proofs that lying is better than telling the truth.

but i was just kinda scared to lie since i know i'm too expressive to lie, they'll easily figure it out.

i saw a suggestion telling me, if i reapply, i should bring the documents that showing my obligations.

just a simple question, what if the interviewee doesn't wanna see the documents again?

and i got another question, since most likely the suggestion is for my boyfriend's family to come n visit Indonesia,

which for my family it's also required that the male family come to the female family first,

but i saw in another forum, about a canadian guy who got newly married to US woman,

n when he tried to renew his visa, it got rejected too.

from the answers in that forum, people said that he suppose to apply marriage visa from the first try (not just doing the renew visa).

me and my boyfriend know nothing about it.

if in future we decided to married in Indonesia, but staying in US:

1. is my non-immigration rejected visa record will be a trouble for me to apply immigration visa?

2. we know nothing about marriage from different countries, what legal steps should we do?

again, thank you so much for all the helps.

God bless u guys abundantly

Dear Friends,

Can anyone help me with my situation.

I'm Chinese-Indonesian girl, almost 29yo. I just got my us visa rejected 214(b) : Failure to establish ties, this morning.

I'm applying B2 visa for tourist, since me n my boyfriend haven't engaged yet.

I'm currently having my own business which i tag along my dad n my sibling in it, that makes me own a family business.

(But for info, this business is my baby since it's all my sweat, tears, n blood {no its not blood, just time}).

I've bring along all the documents needed to show my assets in Indonesia, but the interviewee wont even look at it,

since the documents still on my side, and i've asked to show it to him but he refused.

I've told everything honestly,I even said that since my boyfriend already came to Indonesia for 2 weeks last July,

my Dad only permit me to go to US for only 2 weeks too, just to be fair.

My boyfriend is ABC, he even already sent me invitation letter, which the interviewee didn't see either even i'm already asking to show him.

When the interviewee gave me the red paper, i know for sure i got rejected.

And i asked him immediately before he gave me the paper, why i got rejected.

(Maybe i'm kinda a bit mad when i asked it, since his face was shocked. it's bcoz i chose to be honest, eventhough my friends told me to lie)

The interviewee said it's because:

1. i have a boyfriend in US

2. my business is family business, which makes it looks like i can leave the business easily.

i answer him that i'm the president director of this company, which makes it harder for me to leave it.

and I go to US, so i can meet my boyfriend's family, and bring along his parents to meet my parents in Indonesia.

once again i asked him to see my legal documents, but he said the decision can't be changed.

Please help me figure out another way to reapply the US Visa.

Since i really need to meet my boyfriend's family before we go to more serious relationship.

Thank you for your help, it means a lot for both of us.

God bless
