What should I do if my U.S. business visa is refused?

If your business visa has been rejected multiple times, it is recommended that you change your visa to a tourist visa, because business needs to review the information of both domestic and foreign parties, while tourism only reviews the information of the domestic applicant.

When doing business, the documents that need to be submitted are very large and complicated, and the information of both foreign and domestic companies must be good and the industry must be consistent before it can be passed.

Tourism application is relatively simple. As long as the domestic applicant has good information, it can be passed.

If the applicant’s information is poor and a foreign company invites business activities, it sounds illogical and it is easy to refuse the visa;

If the visa applicant’s information is good, but if the foreign company If the information is not good, it will also lead to visa rejection. For example, whether the foreign company is legal, what is its reputation, whether it has the qualifications to hold cross-border business activities, whether it pays enough taxes, etc. will all affect the visa approval rate.

To sum up, if the applicant's information is good and there are invitations from large foreign companies, that is the icing on the cake. After all, the effects of invitations from Microsoft and invitations from unknown small companies are different. If the applicant's information is poor and there are invitations from companies abroad, it will make things worse.

And the types of visas applied for tourism are exactly the same as those applied for business. They are both B1/B2 visas, B1 is for business, and B2 is for tourism and visiting relatives. That is to say, even if you apply for it through tourism, you can still go for business and visit relatives. Because you obtained two types of visas: family visit and business at the same time.

So, it is better to change the tourist visa, so that the pass rate is relatively high.
