Family's US Tourist Visa Rejected, Citing 214(b)
A family from India applied for a tourist visa (B-2) to visit the US, but their application was rejected.
The denial, under Section 214(b), meant the consulate didn't believe they would return to India.
Despite having good jobs, income, and a home, the family's visa was denied.
They had no prior international travel experience, and their explanation during the interview may have seemed unclear.
The family plans to reapply after building travel history and including the wife's parents in the application.
A family's B-2 tourist visa application was rejected.
