Before you reapply, understand what needs attention.
A refusal can leave you with more questions than answers. We review the information available from your previous application and compare it with your circumstances today, so your next decision is better informed.
What we review
Your refusal notice, previous DS-160 where available, interview questions and answers as you remember them, relevant supporting information and current plans.
What you receive
A written summary of the points reviewed, factual gaps or inconsistencies to address, questions needing clarification and recommended preparation steps.
What the review can tell you
We can identify possible concerns from the information you provide. We cannot see an officer’s private reasoning or promise a different decision.
Start with the refusal notice
A 214(b) refusal and a 221(g) refusal require different consideration. Check the section and follow the consulate’s instructions before deciding your next action.
