My wife who is a citizen now is telling me that it is near impossible for anyone from South Korea to get a B2 visa and that it will take months to process.  Is that true?  Is there a strict filter on B2 applications from Korea?  

 

 

we are just exploring options for her sister who was recently refused entry because 2 yrs ago she miscalculated her 90 day stay and had the plane ticket for the 91st day.  

 

My wife is saying that she (wife) was refused a B2 back in 98-99 because her background wasn't strong enough...ie education, finances, reason for visiting, etc.  At that time she has no ties to the US.  All her family was in Korea.

 

 

thanks

B does not take long, apply and find out, overstay was a long time ago.
