Know your US visitor visa application is ready before your interview
Most US B1/B2 refusals come down to Section 214(b), failing to prove strong ties to your home country. MigraIQ analyses your full profile, finds the weak spots, and tells you exactly what to strengthen before you walk into the consulate.
Refusals
Why US B1/B2 visas get refused
The US consulate process is different from Canada or Schengen. Understanding the specific grounds for refusal gives you a clear path to a stronger application.
Section 214(b) — failure to overcome immigrant intent
The US operates on a presumption of immigrant intent. You must prove strong ties to your home country that will compel you to return. Without clear evidence, officers default to refusal under Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Weak financial evidence
You need to show that you have enough funds to cover your stay without needing to work. Vague income, unexplained deposits, or an amount that does not match your stated travel plan raises questions officers are trained to probe.
Inconsistent or vague trip purpose
Tourism and business visits each require different supporting evidence. A stated purpose that does not match your background, your itinerary, or the people you plan to visit creates doubt that is hard to overcome at interview.
Prior overstays or immigration violations
Any previous US visa overstay or immigration violation is a serious risk factor that requires proactive, honest documentation. Omitting it is far worse than disclosing and explaining it.
