Well it was a misunderstanding and I assume it caused him to not get the visa. I’m just wondering if he has a chance to be approved for a tourist visa.

What can qualify as a stronger ties? He has an apartment, a stable job of 6 years, 2 automobiles and family.

I think it was the 214(b). They were vague about why he was not approved. They even said “you’re just not quite there yet”. 🤷‍♀️ He’s not working. He’s not getting paid either. What insinuated he was working in the US? I’m curious. Maybe this is how she saw it for some reason.

I have paid him. But I live in SA and we work on online music jobs together. He’s never been it the US. The wait time for an appointment is approx 20-30 days and it takes about 10 business days to have passport mailed back with visa. you were denied twice as a tourist and then they approved you?

My South African partner recently applied for a B2 visa and was denied unfortunately. he was asked the basic questions: why are you going to the US? where will you be going? who is funding your trip? This is where it gets sticky. He said I was funding the trip and that he was going to the US to attend a recording session with me. The officer then asks: is she paying you? He answers yes, referring to previous jobs we’ve done together. I think she misunderstood him and assumed I’d be paying him for this trip to the US. Totally a misunderstanding and he explained but he was denied. If he applies again within a month, is there any chance he’d be approved? Has anyone been denied but applied again (NOT AN APPEAL) and been approved? She also said she’d “wipe this incident from the system” so I’m wondering if she just wants him to reapply and NOT say that I’m paying him. totally confused. We’re supposed to travel end of Feb. Any advice/feedback is helpful!
