What should I do if my American immigrant visa is refused?

# American Immigration # Introduction What should we do when we understand the reasons for visa refusal from the perspective of immigration? As long as the materials are clear and true, relatives generally will not refuse. If the application is rejected, you can decide whether to appeal or relief according to the specific circumstances, and you can communicate with your attorney in detail to understand the most suitable way for your further appeal.

The application for immigration was rejected due to material problems.

If it is only missing materials, wrong filling or technical errors, it will generally not lead to the refusal of the immigration office. In this case, the application for membership is notified by the Immigration Bureau, asking for supplementary materials or explaining some problems or doubts. Generally, applicants will not be rejected until they have the opportunity to obtain supplementary materials or correct their mistakes. Of course, each application and different immigration officers may bring different results. However, if it is rejected due to material problems, the reasons may include:

(1) The materials are confusing, and the relationship between the applicant and the beneficiary is unclear;

(2) The materials or certificates are contradictory;

(3) The evidence is insufficient to prove;

(four) the materials or facts are considered false or untrue;

(5) after receiving the notice of supplementary materials or instructions, the materials or instructions that have not been submitted or submitted as required are still insufficient.

After studying the reasons for rejection, the following methods can be taken according to the situation:

Re-apply If the application materials are confusing, unclear or contradictory, you can consider re-preparing the materials to eliminate the original unfavorable factors and then apply to the Immigration Bureau. The application procedures and requirements are the same as the new application.

Ask immigration to reconsider. If the application is rejected due to insufficient evidence, or the Immigration Bureau mistakenly thinks it is false or untrue, or fails to supplement the materials or give some explanation as required, you can consider providing new supporting materials or explanations to eliminate the original reasons or facts for rejection, and then ask the Immigration Bureau to "reconsider". If the applicant can convince the Immigration Bureau or the newly submitted materials to satisfy the immigration officer who has already been examined, his application can generally be re-approved.

Rejected because it was classified as unacceptable.

If the immigration application is rejected because the applicant is classified as "not allowed to enter the country", the applicant should carefully analyze the reasons. Of course, being classified as prohibited entry by the Immigration Bureau does not necessarily mean that it really belongs to the category of prohibited entry. This situation may be as follows:

Be wrongly classified as off-limits. If the classification basis materials are insufficient, the applicant can submit new materials to prove that he is not in the non-entry category.

Be classified as inadmissible because of legal provisions or unclear boundaries. This kind of situation usually appears in criminal records.

Exemption category in non-entry category. If the applicant is correctly classified as inadmissible, in this case, the applicant can also judge whether he belongs to the category that can apply for exemption according to the specific circumstances.

If the applicant thinks that he has sufficient reasons to obtain the approval of the Immigration Bureau, and the decision of the Immigration Bureau is obviously wrong, he may wish to consider filing a complaint. The appeal of a relative's refusal to emigrate shall be filed within 18 days from the date of refusal notice. The applicant should lodge a complaint according to the requirements of the complaint, pay a complaint fee of $65,438 +0 10, and send it to the same immigration office together with the complaint form. The Immigration Bureau will forward the complaint to the Immigration Appeals Board in Washington. Generally, an appeal takes several months, and the judgment will be sent directly to the applicant. If the complaint fails, the applicant can also file a judicial lawsuit, but the judicial lawsuit must be filed after the normal complaint. However, in the case that the normal complaint is rejected, if the applicant does not leave the country according to the regulations and wants to wait for the judicial decision in China, it is better to hire an immigration lawyer, because in this case, the applicant may be deported at any time.

The application was rejected by foreign embassies and consulates.

Relatives' application for immigration is rejected by overseas consulates. If there are material problems, such as incomplete materials, insufficient proof of relationship or false materials, the applicant should prepare new materials or explain the problems, and pay special attention to submitting supporting documents before applying to the consulate. According to the regulations, there is no limit to the number of times an applicant can apply to the consulate, and the applicant can continue to apply if he wishes. If the applicant is deemed to be in the category of visa exemption, he must first be familiar with the various provisions of visa exemption and whether there is an opportunity to apply for visa exemption.

Because American overseas embassies and consulates have great discretion in visa, the most effective way for applicants is to supplement materials or certificates to the consulate and wait for a period of time after being rejected. As long as it is not recognized as non-tax-exempt, the applicant will always have a solution.

Tips for immigrant visa interviews have played a great role.

Interviews for American visas may be mysterious to many people. In fact, the visa officer of the visa office of the American Consulate told us that their principle is not to refuse the applicant to enter the United States, but to ensure that what the applicant said is true, simple, logical and meets the relevant conditions, which most people have. If the interviewed applicants give the visa officer an honest answer and a story that has not been rehearsed in advance, instead of what they think the visa officer wants to hear, they will get a visa more easily. "Credibility" is an important basis for visa officers to judge whether to refuse a visa.

In addition, leaving a good first impression on the visa officer is also helpful to the success of the visa. Visa officers at the US Consulate in China meet a large number of applicants every day. The average time for each applicant to "see the official" is 1 to 2 minutes. So how to get this precious impression in such a short time? In fact, it is very simple, and often some small moves and tricks can achieve good results. For example, the previous applicant has not finished sorting out the information and left the counter, so you wait quietly one meter away. When the previous applicant left, the visa officer called your name, immediately raised his hand or nodded to indicate "ready", and then quickly walked to the counter. Because the United States and other western countries attach great importance to personal privacy, and China people are used to "fighting for their father" in a crowded living environment, if you deliberately "slow down" among many applicants, international etiquette will come out, and visa authorities will naturally have a high impression on you. Success depends largely on this moment.
