B2 Visa refused, how long to wait for re apply?

[SennaBrigante 92]

Gus, there is no waiting time required before you can reapply, but it won't help you much if your circumstances have not changed. What you can do, is schedule another interview, bring along your documentation and ask for an explanation as to why you were refused in the first place. Your answers should always be honest and true, which means don't change them unless your actual situation has changed.

Chances are you were denied because you are single, mid-late twenties and don't have a lot to ties to your home country. If you're going to try another interview bring along documentation that would evidence your need to return home after your intended stay in the US. It won't guarantee you will get a visa, but you will be better prepared if asked to present any documentation to that effect.

Good luc

Like what was said, the best thing to do is to prepare but I should add that since the CO didn't ask you that many questions, they don't really have that much information on your circumstances apart from what you answered on the application form so your circumstances changing isn't really a requirement per se.

Also, they would rarely ask to see any documents. During my interview, the ushers actually told us to prepare our passport and appointment confirmation letter and to keep everything else because we wouldn't be asked for those. On my 2nd interview, that's all I brought with me.

You also won't get an explanation as to why you were denied before. They'll just say that you didn't show enough socio-economic ties to your home country which could mean anything. Don't expect anything specific as to the reasons for the denial.

My step-sister and I were both 28 y/o when we applied, both unmarried and both self-employed. We both got approved. It's really tough to guess who gets approved or not. A lot of it depends on how clearly you answer the CO's questions and whether you're able to convince them that you're coming back.
