Hi i applied for f1 visa , while my i-130 is still pending (filed by my sister on my behalf), and got denied. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Location : islamabad pakistan , may 16 2016

Vo: Please pass your passport and i-20

(passed)

Vo: why do you want to go to US ?

me: to earn my masters degree in computer science.

vo: did you applied to other schools ?

me: no i did't , but i have researched few schools like Princeton university and university of san-fransisco.

vo: why did you selected this university ?

me: this program is unique as its mixture of theory and practical, also block system is very unique as i will have to study only one course in a month.

vo: why not doing ms form your home country ?

me: the programs offered here are reasearch oriented, but this program is unique in a sense that it focuses on practica aspects of computer science.

vo: i am sorry i can't issue your visa today, you are disqualified under section 214(b)

(hands me over yellow paper describing 214-b, he didn't even asked for any document)

Do you want to know why they refused you ? There is a straight red flag in your case. one can't file for a non immigrant visa while a petition for an immigrant visa is pending.Now, were you know aware of this when you filed DS-160 ?

Nope Just wondering why you were applying again.

If nothing will change in your next application then the result will likely not change.

OP definitely went through all those steps that's why he got the I-20 from the university to be shown to the officer during the interview.

Of course you can.

Of course you can.

o no no no, let me be a little more technical and rephrase what i put before. one can file for a non immigrant visa while an immigrant petition is pending but one can never ever get APPROVED for non immigrant visa while the immigrant petition is pending.
