Frequently Asked Questions

HOW SOON CAN I APPLY AGAIN IF MY APPLICATION WAS NOT APPROVED?

You may apply again as quickly as you wish if your application was not approved. If your application was denied because the interviewing officer did not believe you overcame the presumption of immigrant intent (under regulation 214b), you should try to collect additional information which you believe supports your contention that you have a residence outside the U.S. that you do not intend to abandon, or wait to apply again until you have had a change in your personal situation (employment, family, etc.) which would convince an interviewing officer that you now have stronger ties to your residence abroad.
