My application was refused. What is procedure for appealing a visa refusal?
As is standard practice around the world, any nonimmigrant visa application, once denied under Section 214(b), will not be reviewed or reconsidered unless the application re-applies. The proper procedure for appealing a visa refusal is to file a new application that will be adjudicated by a different consular officer. The Applicant must pay the fee again and obtain a new interview. Please note that we always advise the applicants with more than one recent refusal NOT to re-apply unless his/her circumstances have changed significantly, as it is unlikely the outcome will change.
