Non-Immigrant Visas  

Reapplication Policy

Why has my visa been denied?

When a visa has been denied:  Re-Application process

Applicants who have been refused may re-apply at any time for another interview. In order to re-apply, applicants must again follow the same procedure by filling out a new application form and paying another processing fee.  A refused applicant can re-apply as many times as he or she likes. But reapplying without significantly stronger evidence or proof of a significant change in the applicant's circumstances is not likely to change the result. As a matter of policy, we try to have the case reviewed by an officer who hasn't seen it before, in order to assure that it gets a fresh look and is adjudicated fairly.

In some cases, an applicant may be found ineligible for a visa to the U.S. under a different section of law.  Please see more information about ineligibilities and waivers available here.
