problem of being refused. The first thing you should think about is what was the reason for
the refusal? You might be saying, Well, Attorney Pompe, I don't know the reason. It was so short.
I just went to a window. It was less than five minutes. I was asked some very basic questions,
maybe two or three questions, and it was over just like that, and I couldn't believe it. I was
refused, and I don't even know why. If that's, you just know that that happens to a lot of people.
The number one reason why folks are refused of the visa is because the officers just not convinced
that you're gonna return home. They have some indication that you're gonna stay in America.
Your intention is not what you've told them. Your intention is to stay. And so they deny you
or refuse you because they think you don't have strong enough ties to your home country. And it
is your job to prove to them that I do have these strong ties. I do intend on going back home. I
will not overstay in America. And my true reason for the visit is what I've told you. You've gotta
keep that in mind. The true intent of your visit is what the officer is thinking about. That's the
real reason why many people are refused. Another reason why folks are refused, guys, it has to do
with maybe your background. Something came up on the visa application that raised the flag,
or it could be afl. The flag might have come up during the questions. So for example, um, a
question such as, who do you have in America? Right? Relatives. Which relatives do you have
there? And if you have close, immediate relatives like children, if you say something like, Well,
all of my children are there, I have like three or four or five kids. Everyone is, they're all there.
They're all in in the us and I'd like to go visit a response like that would trigger a flag in most
officer's mind, thinking that this individual is actually going to America for family unity
purposes to stay there permanently to join all of his or her children in the us. Or it could be
something on the visa application that triggers it. Maybe you have, um, a crime on your record,
a criminal record, or maybe you had immigration violations. Maybe you've been in the US before,
you've overstayed or whatever the case may be. And now the officer is thinking, Well, there's
this immigration violation on the record. It's not clear, you know, this, the record is
still there. It, the, the violation hasn't been cleared, so to speak, so therefore I've gotta
refuse you of this visa. Most times when it's a serious issue for the, that led to the refusal,
you'll get an embassy, maybe exit letter telling you what section of the law they're refusing
you under and what the reason is. That's what typically happens with the visitor's visa. Now,
let's talk about what you can do if you've been refused of the visa. The first thing is
this. Get crystal clear about your purpose of the visit. Your intention. Why are you coming
here? What are you gonna do? How long are you gonna stay? Where are you gonna stay? What is
the purpose of this event or trip? Uh, is it, are you going to a wedding? Is it a, um, a
religious ceremony that you're attending, uh, with other members of your family, right?
It's a, it's part of your culture that everyone gathered together for
this event. Uh, are you coming here for a vacation? Is it for business? Is it for
school? Get crystal clear on your intent and just know that the purpose of your visit is
the number one thing you've gotta be clear about. And when you're clear about that,
you also have to be clear about the fact that this, this thing is very temporary. This state
in America is temporary. I'm coming back home. Why? Because I've got to get back to work. I've
gotta get back to, uh, my family. I've gotta get back to my responsibilities here where,
you know, I'm from. The second thing that you should do is gather the evidence to support it,
to support your purpose. Gather the paperwork to show proof that this is what I'm gonna go over
there to do. And, um, here's some paperwork to support that. And then lastly, friend,
speak with an immigration lawyer. If your problem is a serious one, if the refusal is based on a
section of our law that is serious like fraud or misrepresentation or unlawful present,
You overstay your visa. The last time or the government, uh, you were, you had expedited
removal from the us, you were turned around at the airport, you were held, questioned,
and then turned around, you had visas that a visa that was revoked. You know, if you have any of
those things or there's a crime on your record, work with an immigration lawyer, speak with them
about that. We prepare the waiver that is needed to overcome those problems. Guys, I hope you found
