US Visa Refused on Grounds of Ineligibility

Under the USA Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) there are several 
classes
 of aliens who are ineligible to receive US visas. US visa rejection reasons could include:

  • Health-related grounds – the alien has a communicable disease of public health significance; suffers from a physical or mental disorder that is a threat to others; or is a substance abuser.
  • Criminal and related grounds.
  • Security and related grounds – including espionage and terrorist activities.
  • Public charge – encompassing aliens whose age, health and circumstances render them unable to support themselves.
The US visa appeal process also makes provision for a waiver of ineligibility to be granted, for humanitarian and other reasons. To learn more about how the regulations affect you, contact Global Visas using the free assessment below.

US Visa Rejection Under Section 214B

US immigration law delegates responsibility for issuing or denying visas to overseas consular offices. Under the INA, applicants must establish their entitlement to non-immigrant status in order to gain a visitor or student visa. The most common reason for a US visa refusal is that applicants fail to show sufficient ties in their home country that would compel them to return once their US visa has expired. In this situation “strong ties” might include:
  • A job or business
  • A family or dependants
  • Property that is owned or rented
Denial under this section can be reconsidered if an applicant produces new evidence of ties outside the US, or if their circumstances change.
