Visa Denial Myth vs Fact
Visa denial under 214(b) is not permanent. Although there is no appeal process for a refusal or ineligibility under 214(b), an individual may reapply if significant changes occur since their last application.
.
To reapply for a visa, an applicant must complete a new DS-160, pay the application fee, and schedule an appointment for a new visa interview.

What is Immigrant Intent?
Visa denied for immigrant intent. A denial under INA section 214(b) means that the applicant did not:
.
-Sufficiently demonstrate that they qualify for the nonimmigrant visa category requested; and/or
.
-Overcome the presumption of immigrant intent by demonstrating that they have strong ties to their home country that will compel them to leave the United States at the end of their temporary stay.
.
Visa denial under 214(b) is not permanent. Although there is no appeal process for a refusal or ineligibility under 214(b), an individual may reapply if significant changes occur since their last application.
