Will the non-immigrant visa refusal record affect the immigration application?

Under normal circumstances, the previous non-immigrant visa refusal record will not affect the immigration application. However, if you conceal or falsely report information in the process of applying for non-immigration, you should be cautious. American consulates are very strict about the consistency of information disclosure, which may even lead to visa refusal and withdrawal. Most of the criteria for non-immigrant visas in the United States are based on Article 2 14(b) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act. When applying for a visa, all foreign applicants will be assumed to have immigration tendency at the beginning, unless he/she can convince the visa officer that he/she has non-immigration qualification. Therefore, the visa officer is mainly concerned about the domestic binding force of the applicant. Moreover, when applying for a non-immigrant visa, the visa officer mainly understands the purpose and intention of the applicant to go to the United States through dialogue with the applicant, and relatively rarely verifies the authenticity of the applicant's situation through the documents provided by the applicant.

The procedure of immigration application will be much more complicated. In marriage immigration, for example, China applicants' immigration applications will be reviewed by the Immigration Bureau, the National Visa Center and the Consulate in three steps. Whether it is from the authenticity of the relationship between husband and wife, to the financial situation of the guarantor, and then to the applicant's own situation, there are stricter auditing standards than non-immigrant visas. The criteria for the consulate to make a decision will vary with the audit criteria. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the record of non-immigrant visa refusal will generally not affect the immigration application, but you must truthfully reflect the fact that you have been refused a visa and answer truthfully during the questioning process. If the answer is inconsistent with the actual situation, then the immigrant visa is also likely to be refused.

Under some special circumstances, it will seriously affect whether the immigrant visa can be successfully approved! If the applicant provides false documents or false information in the non-immigrant interview, such as providing false invitation letters when applying for a business visa, or providing false information in the previous non-immigrant application, it will have a great impact on the subsequent immigration application. In the background investigation stage of immigrants, the consulate will review the materials and information of applicants' previous applications for US visas. If it is found that the applicant has provided false documents or information before, the immigrant visa is likely to be refused, or the consulate will let the applicant apply for visa exemption.

The application for exemption is based on the fact that the applicant cannot be allowed to enter the United States for various reasons, such as providing false statements, fraud, smuggling, health reasons or having a criminal record. Applicants need to submit an application for I-60 1 to USCIS, and after approval, they will regain their immigration qualification.

Once the exemption application needs to be initiated, it will seriously affect the applicant's immigration application results. Therefore, when applying for non-immigration, you must not provide false information or materials, so as not to affect the normal progress of subsequent immigration applications.
