Visa B-2 rejected.

[Sandro8 0]

Hello I have recently been denied to a visa B2 request. Can I apply for the Esta? of course now it's getting harder. But how can I fix this situation? I know I can apply again for a visa interview. But I need some advices. I got denied for no specific reason, they just told I've been denied cause for now they dont accept this kind of requests, and to try again in the future.

Why did you apply for B2 if you could have used ESTA in the first place?

It was a mistake. I wanted to do that at the beginning. But I would like to go there more than 3 months. So a friend of mine that lives there gave me this advice.

In theory you can apply for an ESTA but it will be denied because it asks you if you had denied visa application from before. You will need to be honest and answer yes and because of that it is very likely it will be denied....

 

I don't think you can do too much but apply for a B visa again WHEN your circumstances change otherwise it will be denied again. I assume you got denied based on insufficient ties to your country.

I believe the ESTA is gone now with the B2 denial.

 

The reason for a B2 denial is lack of strong ties to your country ensuring that you will return. Why do you need to go for more than 3 months? That is quite long for a vacation.

I have a friend there and he could host me for more than 3 months. I'm a musician, wanted visit there to explore a different musical culture enjoying concerts and maybe who knows then.. Can I apply for a different visa? Or trying to apply for the Eta in Canada?

I'm so overwhelmed for this mistake. But I have not lost my hopes. Trying to apply for study there. I wish to go to the US since I was young

You can apply for ESTA easy option and you do not know until you do if it will be approved

Could be useful to buy a ticket with the return date? And then apply for Esta?

OK thank you. This rejection could be also affect an eventual application for the "Eta" in Canada?

When one is ESTA eligible, a B visa usually gets denied because one is ESTA eligible.  You are now in a fe-facto ban of your own making.  
 

Since you were looking for a stay of more than 90 days that raises suspicion right there.  
 

1. What is it about your life that lets you be away from your country that long?  Most people have jobs. If you don’t have a full time job, get one.  
 

2. Why did you want to stay more than  90 days? 
 

3. An exception would be a retiree.  Are you retired?
 

Get a full time  job. Work for a while.  
 

Then try the ESTA again. 
 

I’m not optimistic but if you don’t try the ESTA first  after working full time, and instead  keep trying for B visas you are just doing the same thing expecting different results.  
 

If ESTA is denied after you have been working full time, then you have a basis for applying for a B visa.  
 

Whatever you do, don’t ask for an authorized stay of more than 90 days.  Apply for an authorized stay  of 2 weeks.  .

https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/eta/english.pdf says the eTA application asks if you have  denied a visa or permit from any country.
