Yeo. With b2 denied on his record he won't be eligible for Vwp.  😛

And you find that funny?

No. Your problem is people are posting the truth about your situation, and that isn't what you want to hear.  That you don't like the response you are getting doesn't make it rude, or wrong. People who volunteer here long after their processes are complete have taken the time to answer you, and show you where you went wrong.

 

And no. Millions and millions of people haven't got visas this way. And neither will you, in spite of your 'world citizen' approach.  And one more thing you might want to take on board, if indeed you can do that, is to realize insulting people who are giving you truthful answers to your questions, and calling them trash, won't win you any support here. VJ  does not sugarcoat stiff. You screwed up, not the system, not the French Embassy, you. You might bear that in mind, should you consider asking further questions.

I guess the consulate did make the right call after all.

Of course, but your lack of empathy is scary. Why don’t you want to make people feel good at these forums, but attack them? I’m really not some fool who doesn’t understand what I’m told. I do and at the same time I feel some of these visa rules are out of date and stupid. Will I follow them now? Yes. But they are still stupid, because they put wrong assumptions on me and treating everybody as potential person to stay in the USA forever is just not up to date.

 

Sorry for my behavior, but you could rething attacking people in such situations. If you were never refused visa after long and pricey process, you just don’t know how it feels. IT SUCKS.

I’ve been to the States already, sorry

Serious question: why are you guys so rude? Are you like that for everyone here or just for me? Refused visa is really a problem, I wasted a lot of time and money and possibly an opportunity to meet the people I was about to meet. Is that so funny? You upvote heavily the posts that are insulting too, congratulations. And people going for the same purpose to meet the same people all got visas in their domestic embasies. Call the reason I tried in French embassy a problem, but not the entire visa type + remote work thing.

 

You call me "entitled", yet almost all of you behave like you feel as such. You got your visas and now feel like everyone applying for one are trash.

 

You try to convince me that what I'm trying to do is so stupid, yet millions and millions of people every year get visa that way and yes, the counsellors know that people are working remotely.

 

Also, almost entire EU is in Waiver. If Poland was, I would never apply for visa, just go as a tourist. Are these countries "entitled" and worth insulting too? Because they are spoilt to think that you must be entitled to go somewhere as a tourist?

 

You guys are really not nice.

It is normal for the bearer of the news to be targeted, so do not be too harsh on the OP.

[stacyt 209]

You can defend yourself and digital nomad concept as much as you want here. I've been one myself for the last year and staying in Mexico for a few months, even then I didn't try to apply. I knew I had 0 ties to my home country and it was very clear just looking at my docs. 

 

A lot of people here have been in your situation and have been working remotely and know exactly what you're talking about. However, it isn't gonna change the facts. I'd much rather listen to what people say (that's what you came for I guess?) and try to fix your situation if you do want to make it to the US at some point. You'd have to settle though.

Agreed, it does suck to be refused a visa after going through what is seen as an ordeal. 

 

But folks  here are advising you correctly, where you approve of it or not. As noted above, members are not rude, but they don't sugarcoat either.

It's sad you feel this way, this forum is a great source of information for many people. 

 

You were given polite and detailed responses by dozens of people, you blew them off as not understanding your situation. People rarely continue to be polite when constantly accused of being out of touch with the 21st century or understanding the concept of remote work.

 

American law clearly indicates what is and isn't legal work, people tried to explain to you but it fell on deaf ears. Not all of us are immigrants so your conclusions there are wrong also.

 

Good luck in obtaining your Visa but it will be an uphill value

Why do IT people going to work remotely get B1 and B2 visas granted then? Can you please answer me that?

[Robbiee 7]

I was insulted first, because people here wanted to make me look like a fool for applying in France. That made me angry, because I feel like it’s blind rule following. If anyone said „yes, this is weird but that” ls the way it is”, I would be as calm as a lamb. But noooo, let’s make fun of someone who dares to question the law from time to time.

Hi OP, every comment on this post I think was made with the right information and intention, you seem not happy or convinced about the answers but that's really up to you. A lot of people came here with an "convinced me I'm wrong" attitude and challenge every answer with their point of view. The thing is immigration or visas affairs are complicated but at the same time they are VERY clear. Rules are made and you need to understand that they follow they rules and they POV, honestly what you think is irrelevant (to them).

 

People here were trying to explain that your approach was wrong, in a polite way. But after too many times someone refutes without the proper knowledge, we start thinking "you must be a troll".

 

I've been unfairly denied 3 tourism visas over the years to the US. People married with USC gets rejected every day. Is NOT an easy process to get a visa or a successful immigration path, but that's how it is, and these people is here every day helping others, you had diamonds members explaining why your perspective was wrong, please don't underestimate their knowledge and if you still need to refute the answers, please do it with facts and not with "in my opinion" or "it should be" / "makes sense".

Never heard of an IT person applying for a B to work remotely. Well not personally or on this or other forums, and getting one.
