What does U.S. immigrant visa denial 212(a)(2)(A)(1) mean?

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 refusal:

1. Immigration tendency

If you receive a 214(b) written notice, it is considered that the applicant There is a tendency to immigrate. 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.
