Hi. I’ve recently had my b2 interview at the us embassy and was refused and given a 214 b paper. A week later i received a call from them telling me they will send an email requesting info to process my visa application. I replied to the mail with the requested info. Did the consular officer give me the wrong paper and be hopeful i might get the visa or could it be just a process to gather my info for their database?

What were the questions?

All names used, tribe affiliations, work history, travel history since 2019, if i had military/paramilitary service, addresses since 2019, and numbers i had since 2019

Unusual, they could be reconsidering.

Are you from a high-risk.high-fraud country?      There is a lot of vetting for B visas from certain countries due to some history.   Or if you had travelled to certain a countries, it would also trigger scrutiny.

 

Requesting additional info after a tourist visa interview is atypical.

Yes to answer both your questions, but what is confusing is getting refused and handed the 214 b paper, but requesting additional info for my visa application.
