My South African partner recently applied for a B2 visa and was denied unfortunately.
he was asked the basic questions:
why are you going to the US?
where will you be going?
who is funding your trip?
This is where it gets sticky. He said I was funding the trip and that he was going to the US to attend a recording session with me.
The officer then asks: is she paying you?
He answers yes, referring to previous jobs we’ve done together. I think she misunderstood him and assumed I’d be paying him for this trip to the US.
Totally a misunderstanding and he explained but he was denied. If he applies again within a month, is there any chance he’d be approved? Has anyone been denied but applied again (NOT AN APPEAL) and been approved?
She also said she’d “wipe this incident from the system” so I’m wondering if she just wants him to reapply and NOT say that I’m paying him.
totally confused. We’re supposed to travel end of Feb. Any advice/feedback is helpful!
