On August 1, 2025, the USCIS issued a news release announcing that it is re-establishing a uniform baseline of screening and vetting standards, effective immediately.
.
This update, reflected in the USCIS Policy Manual, revives more stringent criteria for interviews and background checks. The USCIS may be stepping up “Stokes–style” interviews, in which spouses are questioned separately and compared for inconsistencies to expose potential fraud.
.
If you have a bona‑fide marriage – and submit evidence of joint finances, joint tenancy, joint travel, photographs (with date – place – description), and affidavits – these processes are designed to confirm authenticity, not penalize you.

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.
