At a Glance
Top Rejection Reasons
US law presumes all B-visa applicants intend to immigrate. You must overcome this by proving strong ties to your home country.
No stable employment, no family dependents, no property or business. Officers need multiple reasons you'll return.
Cannot show ability to fund the trip without working illegally in the US. Consistent savings matter more than high balance.
How to Improve Your Chances
A government or established private sector job with confirmed return date is the single strongest tie. Include promotion history, seniority, and pension/EPF contributions.
Every answer must reinforce why you will return. Practice concise, confident answers about your job, family, property, and future plans.
