My guess is that you recent lie is the bigger problem.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

First, there is NO waiver for being refused 214b....one has to overcome the presumption of immigrant intent (and trust)...and it sounds like you are a long way from seeing that happen.

Credibility is the single biggest asset an applicant can have, and once that credibility is damaged/tarnished or whatever, it is very very difficult to regain it. Merely promising to obey our laws in the future has no meaning.

When you apparently dodged the truth (that they already knew) you pretty much sealed your fate. Going back a second time and trying to apologize will likely come off pretty hollow...after all, you went through great pains to avoid telling the truth the first time, why should they believe you now?

No letter from your employer will restore your credibility because no third party can 'vouch' for your character....your character has already been exposed.

it just sounds weird to me that criminals of other far worset crimes, were granted a weivers... and I have no way to clear my name. especially that it was 6 years ago.

So you basically say that if I will come back again and say I was nervous or panicked as an explanation for misrepresnting the facts, it wil be worse? so what my options then?

Can anyone comment on this from the US embassies in Pakistan and Peru concerning no waivers for non-immigrant visas?

http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/pakistan/niv_visa_denials.html

Visa Denials

The United States is an open society. Unlike many other countries, the United States does not impose internal controls on most visitors, such as registration with local authorities. In order to enjoy the privilege of unencumbered travel in the United States, aliens have a responsibility to prove they are going to return abroad before a visitor or student visa is issued. U.S. immigration law requires consular officers to view every visa applicant as an intending immigrant until the applicant proves otherwise.

You cannot appeal a denial. However, you may reapply for a visa. Applicants wishing to reapply must submit a new application form and photo and pay the application fee. Contrary to popular belief, there are no quotas limiting the number of student or visitor visas issued.

Click here for additional information regarding denials under section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Further details on visa ineligibilities set forth in section 212 (a) can be found here.

What to do if Refused a Visa

If your application for a nonimmigrant visa has been refused, you will be informed why.

If I do not understand why my application was denied. What can I do?

If you do not understand why we were unable to issue you with a visa, you may write an e-mail to the Consular Section. Please do not call our operator service as they will not be able to assist you. Note: The Consular Section does not review applications and there is no appeal process. If you wish to have your application reviewed, or appeal against the decision to refuse your application, you will be required to make a new application by following the instructions in the form letter sent to you with your passport.

I forget the excuse, nobody is going to believe that and it makes you sound a #######.

You apply and see what happens.

You get a visa or not.

It wasn't 6 years ago. The biggest obstacle to you getting a visitor visa are the lies you gave the US embassy in seeking your visitor visa when you were given the opportunity to tell the truth. You choose to lie. That didn't occur 6 years ago.

How do you gauge if some "panicked" versus outright lied?

Your options are pretty slim. All you can do is apply again.

and 214b is not amongst them. Waivers are considered for nonimmigrant visas only when the applicant has been deemed to be qualified in ALL respects for the visa class being sought...and until you overcome 214b, you will not get a visa.

As others have pointed out, you had your first (and only) chance to try and come clean, but you chose to challenge the VOs and now?????

A second interview will likely be far quicker than the first, starting with....'What has changed in your situation?"...and what is the answer?

'Oh, this time I plan to tell the truth...'....how credible do you think that sounds? Or..

'Gosh I'm sorry for having lied the last time...I was so scared ....but now I'm calm...' (same as above)

Again, credibility is the main asset...once damaged, it is sloooooooooooooowww to heal.

and offering just another reason to go to the US is NOT a significant change in YOUR situation...the reasons for going are not important; the reasons for returning and NOT working illegally are more paramount.

I doubt very much if you would be asked such a question.
