Double Asterisks (**) On Immigrant VISA

[ParVJNu 2]

Hi, does the number of asterisk on an immigrant visa have any relevance or significance?

 

I found a post which mentioned that, the number of asterisk (*) on each visa determines how much of a risk the passport/visa holder is due to their nationality, sex, age, previous countries visited,etc...

 

Why would anyone be granted a VISA if the officer believes the applicant is a security threat?

Purely a conspiracy theory. If you were deemed too risky you would not get a visa.

So could there be a reason why some get a single asterisk (*) and others get more, even for the same visa category?

It's a conspiracy theory.

Another theory I read before said it's just reflecting the printer number that was used for printing visa.

I could be wrong but I think my Husband got one, went through just fine though. Doubt there is anything with risk because we filled thoroughly and our case is easy with no complication.
