US Visa Denial

U.S. Visa Denied? Here's Why — and How We Can Help

Visa denials are more common than you think — and in most cases, they could have been avoided with the right legal guidance. Below are some of the most frequent reasons applicants get refused across key U.S. visa categories:

B1/B2 Visitor Visa (Tourism/Business)

Top Reasons for Refusal:

  • No Prior Legal Guidance
    Applications often fail due to missing documents, unclear travel purpose, or poorly written explanations.
  • ❌ Weak Ties to the UK
    If you don’t show strong UK residency or reasons to return, officers may assume you intend to stay in the U.S.

     

💡How We Help:
 We craft compelling applications and provide documentation strategies that highlight your ties to the UK, purpose of travel, and financial means.

 

🟩 Green Cards (Permanent Residency)

Top Reasons for Refusal:

  • Past Immigration Violations
    Previous overstays, misrepresentation, or fraud trigger automatic denials.
  • ❌ Criminal Convictions
    Even minor offenses can render you inadmissible — but you may qualify for a waiver.

     

💡How We Help:
 Our team reviews your history, identifies waiver options, and builds a legally sound case to overcome inadmissibility.

 

🏢 L-1 Visa (Intra-Company Transfers)

Top Reasons for Refusal:

  • Insufficient Proof of Company Relationship
    You must clearly show a qualifying connection between the U.S. and foreign business entity.
  • ❌ Vague or Unsupported Job Descriptions
    Managerial or executive roles must be well-documented and meet specific legal criteria.

     

💡How We Help:
 
We draft detailed role descriptions and prepare all necessary business documents to meet USCIS standards and reduce the risk of rejection.

 

💼 E-2 Visa (Investor Visa)

Top Reasons for Refusal:

  • No Legal Advice on Investment Requirements
    Investing too little or in the wrong way can disqualify your application.
  • ❌ Incorrect Business Formation
    S. businesses must be structured correctly (e.g., LLC vs. Corporation) under E-2 rules.

     

💡How We Help:
 
We guide you through the right investment amount, structure your business legally, and ensure every step meets E-2 visa conditions.
