What does 212f visa refusal mean?

212(a) indicates insufficient funds or insufficient proof of funds. First of all, the U.S. Embassy in China has absolute veto power over any visa application. Of course, the visa officer will usually verbally inform the applicant of the reason after the visa is rejected, or issue a written notice to the applicant explaining why the visa was rejected and what information needs to be brought with the next application. The following are common reasons for visa rejection:

1. Immigration intention. If you receive a 214(b) written notice, it is considered that the applicant has immigration intention. U.S. Immigration and Nationality Law requires consulates to assume that all applicants have immigrant intent and to deny any non-immigrant visa application seeking permanent residence in the United States. In this application, the applicant failed to show that the applicant has specific and close economic, social and family ties in the country that can ensure that he will leave the United States after completing his visit in the United States, which means that he cannot convince the consular officer that the applicant has no intention to immigrate.

2. Proof of Insufficient Funds If you receive a 212(a) written notice, the consular officer believes that the applicant failed to prove that you have sufficient funds to maintain your life or study during your visit or study in the United States. .

3. Supplementary materials If you receive a 221(g) written notice, the applicant is required to submit supplementary materials. The consular officer has not yet made a final decision on the applicant’s visa application, and it is generally not considered to have been refused. As long as the required materials are prepared again, you can apply again, and the visa application fee does not need to be paid again.

Legal basis: Article 5 of the "Law of the People's Republic of China on the Exit and Entry Administration of Citizens". Chinese citizens leaving the country for private matters must apply to the city or county public security organs where their registered residence is located, except for those who leave the country in Article 8 of this Law. Except for the circumstances specified in Article 1, it can be approved. When a Chinese citizen applies to leave the country for private matters, the public security organ shall make a decision of approval or disapproval within the specified time and notify the applicant.
