Your visa can be refused or kept pending for either administrative processing or under section 214(b) of the INA Act of the United States.
Administrative processing
You can check the status of your case by logging on to the official website of Consular Electronic Application Center. The information you require to check the status is listed below:
- CEAC barcode
- Interview location
Upon entering the above information, you should click on the option - Check My Visa Application Status. If you receive a message that your case is under administrative processing, you will be informed in case you have to submit additional information.
Section 214(b) of INA Act
Under Section 214(b) of Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) Act, a consular official processes your visa application assuming that you may choose to immigrate to the US in the near future. The onus is, therefore, on you to prove that you are financially strong in India and do not have any reasons whatsoever to settle in the United States.
It is important to note that all non-immigrant visa interviews, by and large, are held to understand whether you harbour any secret ambitions of shifting to the United States permanently. As an applicant, you will be asked questions based on the personal information you provided along with the supporting documents such as employment letters, letter of recommendation and financial statements among others which act as evidence. Any refusals under section 214(b) are not irreversible in that you can reapply if you want to submit new information.
