When I applied for the visa and underwent the interview, I was living in Toronto, worked as a Merchandiser in a store. Later that year, I transitioned to a professional role (I hold a mechanical engineering degree) and relocated to Montreal. The initial visa application was for personal reasons, with the intention of visiting the USA. However, it has evolved into a combination of personal and work purposes. As mentioned in my original post, throughout the year, we have several committee meetings held in Macon, where I typically represent Canada. My manager has expressed interest in having me physically present at these meetings, but currently, due to circumstances, I am participating virtually. Also given that we typically have a mandatory two-week shutdown in every July, I could utilize this time to visit the USA.

I have contacted the consulate multiple times, but the responses have been consistently similar with no substantial information. I don't have any family ties to the USA; all of my family members reside back home. The nearest US border is a 1.5-hour drive from where I live. Sometimes I feel like to escape the harsh Canadian winter and spend some time in the US.

Yes, typically, my company utilizes travel agencies for visa and travel services. The challenge lies in the fact that I have already submitted my application for personal intentions. Despite this, my company is interested to assist me by providing all the required documents. My question is, how can these documents be submitted considering that I have already applied for the visa?

I can provide valid documents supporting my ties to Canada; that is not a problem. I dont know what else I can do to demonstrate that I do not intend to stay in the US.

Could you kindly advise on the appropriate approach for submitting the supporting document from my employer to the consular office? Is it sufficient to include it as an additional document and send it in an email, or should I seek the guidance of an immigration lawyer or legal professional in this matter?

I am not overly concerned about that, as I am a law-abiding resident with substantial ties to Canada. Financially, I am stable, and my wife operates a small business in Canada. Additionally, we are parents to a newborn who is a Canadian citizen by birth.

I applied for a new passport last week, so I will have the new passport in hand before the expiration of my current one. My company is willing to provide any kind of supporting documents. Do you think if I submit them as additional documentation for my application, it will have an impact?

I am a Bangladeshi citizen residing in Canada as a permanent resident since September 2021. In 2022, I applied for a US tourist visa with the intention of planning a summer vacation trip to the United States. My wife already possesses a US tourist visa, and I require one to accompany her on our travels. Allow me to provide a brief background about myself—I am currently employed as a Project Leader, in the Engineering department of a manufacturing company. I find myself frequently needing to visit the United States, as our company is part of the America region. It is a multinational corporation with over 109 manufacturing units spread across 76 countries. Notably, I submitted my US tourist visa application before joining my current employer. My timeline for the visa application process is somewhat unique, and my application has been in limbo for a while. May 6, 2022: Interview - Initial decision - "Refused". November 29, 2022: Changed to "Administrative Processing" from "Refused". April 19, 2023: Asked for updated travel purpose and supplemental questions. Sent it on the same day. April 24, 2023: Asked to send passport for Visa Issuance. Sent it on the same day. May 5, 2023: Refused again, requesting the previous passport biodata page (remarks: I only have one passport, expiring in May 2024, and no previous passports held). Sent an email explaining the situation. May 31, 2023: Refused under 221g, requesting to submit a standard CV, a list of all post-secondary institutions attended, degrees awarded, and years of attendance; (2) the exact title and abstract of your degree thesis/research; (3) names and positions of advisors/supervisors; (4) complete work history with dates/locations; (5) list of publications, and (6) source of funding. Provided the requested documents on the same day. June 2, 2023: Received the passport back without the visa (requested it for upcoming travel to my home country). As of now the status is Case Created: 06-May-2022 Case Last Updated: 31-May-2023 A U.S. consular officer has adjudicated and refused your visa application. Please follow any instructions provided by the consular officer. If you were informed by the consular officer that your case was refused for administrative processing, your case will remain refused while undergoing such processing. You will receive another adjudication once such processing is complete. Please be advised that the processing time varies and that you will be contacted if additional information is needed. For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV or the website for the Embassy or Consulate at which you made your visa application. For more information, please visit U.S. Consulate General Toronto. I will become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship in the next 8 months. If granted citizenship, I will be able to visit the US using my Canadian passport, which alleviates my immediate concerns about the visa. However, the current visa application situation is still a significant concern for me. Is there a possibility to withdraw my current application and subsequently reapply through my employer? Alternatively, what steps can I take to bring a resolution to my current visa application? Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
