The indian visa might have been the problem,if throughly you have not applied and rejected before.

First thought
Someone has stolen your identity to apply for a visa.
This person could be close to you.
Has a friend or brother gone to USA?

another possible angle is that someone with similar/identical name combination with yours may have applied and rejected,

These days fingerprints says it all.

Please, explain how the Indian visa is the problem

If visa is to India then I do not think it would be a problem,
However
If visa is to Pakistan or Bangladesh (muslim countries) then big problem.

Its possible the Indian visa was first before the u.k visa and its also possible the U.k visa was multiple and the indian visa had the same period and then you have come to the American embassy.You know the deals that go on in India,so they might have suspected you,its possible.

You completely lost me here, what is wrong with india and UK visa in his passport and what has that got to do with visa refusal.

They are all assumptions,and he can make meanings by himself,if he understands

this is the problem with not having social security numbers or something to prove that your identity is yours. poster sorry for what happened.

i wonder if you can appeal?

This is a bit tricky. I assume the new information concerns an application made prior to the commencement of finger scans but with same or varied name combination and date of birth. Before they are convinced you used deception (which is a serious immigration offence) they must have cross referenced details in the old application with the new one, including picture matching. They have sophisticated software for this and it is hard to believe they made a mistake in this case considering the visa was already issued but later withdrawn when the new facts came to light

My gut feeling is that no mistake was made and poster must have lied about a previous visa refusal. In my time I got refused severally but later got issued with several NIV and later an IV. It only requires being honest at all time. No need muddling up facts as this could be the result

While I may not know for sure if the poster is lying or not, I am aware similar issue has played out before with the US Embassy. After much pressure by way of letters/e-mail, the applicant was called back to come for the visas but at that stage He was already in the UK for His studies. So yea, I can not say the consulate refused the visas after due verfiications! You only need to see how they treath Immigrant Visas applicant for you to know they Americans really do not want to give out visas to Nigerians anymore! I am making this statement from experience of some one I know that I followed down there last year to get His Immigrant Visas issued!

Hello, reapply and this time around, thick that your visa had been revoked in the space provided in the online application form, I suppose that overrides the former that you supposedly know nothing about.
