Understanding your situation
You applied for a US visa (B1/B2, F1, H1B, or other category) and received a denial. The consular officer cited Section 214(b) (failure to demonstrate non-immigrant intent) or Section 221(g) (administrative processing or missing documents).
While there is no formal "appeal" process for visa denials, you can:
1. Reapply with stronger documentation
2. Request reconsideration with new evidence
3. In some cases, seek review through the Department of State
Many visa denials are based on incomplete documentation or unclear ties to your home country. A well-structured reconsideration request can help clarify your situation.
What you need to prepare
- ✓Copy of your visa denial notice (Form 214(b) or 221(g) letter)
- ✓Previous DS-160 confirmation
- ✓Evidence of ties to home country (employment, property, family)
- ✓Financial documentation
- ✓Travel history if applicable
