What Can I Do If I am Given a Section 214(b) Refusal for a U.S. Visa?

All U.S. visa applicants applying for a non-immigrant visa are required to demonstrate to the consular officer’s individual satisfaction that they are eligible. Since outside documentation such as bank statements, property title deeds, vehicle registration, letters of recommendation, invitation letters, are normally not reviewed by the consular officer unless specifically requested, applicants who are unable to meet the burden that they are eligible for a U.S. visa are issued a Section 214(b) refusal. If an applicant is refused a visa, the only is to re-interview since a refusal for a non-immigrant visa cannot be reviewed or appealed. Thus, the applicant must pay another visa processing fee and submit a new DS-160 Online Application. However, the applicant can use the r the new DS-160 U.S. as a way to establish why they should be issued a visa. 

If you have been issued a Section 214(b) refusal for a U.S. visa and would like to consult with a U.S. immigration attorney for expert advice on how the DS- 160 Online Application can be used to support your reapplication, contact us today.

Department of State Visa Bulletin Update on EB-5

AILA’s Department of State Liaison Committee provides monthly “check-ins” with Charlie Oppenheim, designed to keep members informed of Visa Bulletin progress and to obtain his analysis of current trends and future projections, beyond the basic visa availability updates provided in the monthly Visa Bulletin. 

The content for this month's column is taken from presentations delivered by Charlie at the 2019 Federal Bar Association Immigration Law Conference which took place from May 17 - May 18, 2019, in Austin, Texas. 

EB-5 numbers historically were processed primarily in China through FY-2017. Now that there is a Final Action date for EB-5 China, people who otherwise would have used this category are tapping into other markets. The Final Action Date for EB-5 China is likely to hold through August 2019. EB-5 Vietnam and EB-5 India will reach their per country limits in July 2019. The October 1, 2016 Final Action Date for EB-5 Vietnam will hold through July 2019 and then share the same date as EB-5 China for the rest of FY19. In July 2019, EB-5 India will have a Final Action Date in 2017 and will then also share the same date as EB-5 China in August 2019 and September 2019. 

If you are considering immigrating to the U.S. via the EB-5 immigrant investor visa, this is our specialty. Contact David Enterline at david@enterlinepartners.com

Trump has no interest in addressing border issues or immigration reform

While this recent op-ed (opinion-editorial) article in the Los Angeles Times, focuses on President Trump and his ongoing war with the U.S. and Mexico border and its illegal immigration issues, the article points out that the Trump administration has, according to the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA), radically slowed the processing of immigration applications and immigration benefits. As AILA members and U.S. immigration lawyers, we see this radical effect sweeping through the whole of the legal immigration system. Long delays, head-scratching requests, embarrassing mistakes in issuing documentation such as I-551 “green cards”, and increasing inefficiencies are becoming the norm and not the exception. 

This may lead to the perception that American has become anti-immigration and anti-immigrant. This is not the case. Certainly, there are some in the United States who are against immigration and do not want to welcome immigrants, but this is a minority and mostly only a vocal Trump base of supporters. Remember, the United States is a country of immigrants, a melting pot of people from all over the world, and it will remain so for many years to come. Its Immigration laws are set by Congress and are not controlled by whatever current administration is in power. Yes, a President has the power to influence, and in some extremely special cases, might enact an Executive Order in the name of National Security, but these situations are rare and more rarely are upheld by the courts. 

At Enterline and Partners, we are experienced in representing our clients before the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), the U.S. Department of State (USDOS) and its consulates, and other government agencies for all types of petitions and applications, whether it is an I-130 petition for a family member, an I-140 for an employment visa, and I-526 immigrant investor (EB-5) petition or the many non-immigrant visa categories such as the B-1/B-2, E-1, E-2, F-1, J-1, K-1, L-1 visas. Contact us and we will help you navigate through the process of going to the United States.
