Answer Posted / friendly advice

B1 Visa is for Business travel and B2 is for tourism. As I understand, you wish to join your family in the US and hence want to apply for a tourist visa (B2). The downside is that they may look upon you as being desperate and there is a good likelihood that the visa will be rejected. Your case may also be marked as a suspect since you are applying for two categories (immigrant and non-immigrant) at the same time. This may not be illegal per se, but tourist visa is not the best category to take your chances. If I were you I would try to apply for some university/college there and try to get an F1. You can always claim that your long term goal is to study and settle in the US (hence the GC and F1 apps) but if the GC doesn't work out, you will come back to India and work there (and then hope that the GC works out). That way you will have a long term visa with potential H1B route, if the GC takes really long. You can also be sure to enter the US system and the job market in a strong way, unless your family has a business there.

What are the chances to reject my B1 Visa? How much is the risk factor? During filling form for B1, whether i need to enter the information about petition deny?

Hi! I got rejected for my visitor visa for U.S.A. I am a CA in India and have my own firm. I also work at a company as a consultant. When they asked about, what i do for living, i said i have my own firm and didn't mention about my consulting job. They gave me reason stating that they think i am going to stay in U.S.A. What proof or evidence i should take with me for the next time? If I mention about my consulting job, does it make any differences? they didn't even see any of my papers. Please advise.

Recently (February 2011) i got rejected for B1 visa. Visa consoler gave the reason that you didn't convince the visa consoler. My company is making arrangement to send me for second interview in March 2011. Actually my question is, in checking counter they asked me to take only the receipt, passport, confirmation slip and appointment letter to the US consoler. But I have an invitation letter from my client which specifies my schedule plan on my visit. Can I attach that plan document while giving the passport and other documents to the consoler?
