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.

As a business owner, I’m always drawn to books that inspire and motivate me. My current favorite? The Wealth Money Can’t Buy by Robin Sharma. One quote that really stuck with me: “…people come into our lives for reasons, for seasons, or—if you’re fortunate—for a lifetime.” A powerful reminder of the connections we make along the way. Have you read this one yet?
