Hello phermzy -

We cannot give you advice as to whether or not you should reapply. Please consider the following answer about section 214(b) from our FAQ at ustraveldocs.com/ng

Q.22 Is a denial under Section 214(B) permanent?
No. The consular officer will reconsider a case if an applicant can show further convincing evidence of ties outside the United States. Unfortunately, some applicants will not qualify for a nonimmigrant visa, regardless of how many times they reapply, until their personal, professional, and financial circumstances change considerably.

An applicant refused under Section 214(b) should review carefully their situation and realistically evaluate their ties. They may write down on paper what qualifying ties they think they have which may not have been evaluated at the time of their interview with the consular officer. Also, if they have been refused, they should review what documents were submitted for the consul to consider. Applicants refused visas under section 214(b) may reapply for a visa. When they do, they will have to show further evidence of their ties or how their circumstances have changed since the time of the original application. It may help to answer the following questions before reapplying: (1) Did I explain my situation accurately? (2) Did the consular officer overlook something? (3) Is there any additional information I can present to establish my residence and strong ties abroad?

Applicants should also bear in mind that they will be charged a nonrefundable application fee each time they apply for a visa, regardless of whether a visa is issued.

What were the duration uou allowed inbetween before reapplying, and wat class of visa was urs

Bishopp007:


Just 3 times!!!

You mean to say, no one should try to remain in the us on a tourist visa as it is not worth it?

iRyan:
Do you have a visa already? You should know what you are about to get yourself into, it isn't as easy as you think. you won't get a proper job on a visit visa except for those menial jobs which might not be enough to sustain you economically especially as an illegal. Now is the worst time to live illegally in the U.S. ICE has been cracking down on illegal immigrants, illegals here now sleep with one eye open. Research thoroughly on what you are about to do...

Bishopp007: how many times did u try to obtain the visa before u were finally given

congrats, our c.v dey with us too oh!!! God luvs a cheerful giver
