What is the most common reason for denying a visa?
The most common reason for being denied a non-immigrant visa is that the applicant was not able to demonstrate strong ties to a residence outside the United States. Under Section 214(b) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, all applicants for non-immigrant visas, including tourist, medical and student visas, are considered intending immigrants unless they can convince the interviewing officer otherwise. Therefore, it is incumbent on the applicant to demonstrate clear intentions to return to Honduras after a short visit to the United States. Applicants generally demonstrate their intention to return by showing that they have strong familial ties, a stable economic situation and commitments that require their return. An established job, steady savings, strong family ties and a defined plan of study or tourism are important factors during the interview.
