Dear Applicant: This is to inform you that you have been found ineligible for a nonimmigrant visa under Section 214(b) of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act. A denial under Section 214(b) means that your application did not meet the requirements established by law for the classification of nonimmigrant visa for which you applied. While nonimmigrant visa classifications each have their own unique requirements, one requirement shared by many of the nonimmigrant visa categories is for the applicant to demonstrate that he/she has a residence in a foreign country that he/she has no intention of abandoning. Applicants usually meet this requirement by demonstrating that they have strong ties overseas that indicate they will return to a foreign country after a temporary visit to the United States. Such ties include professional, school, family, or social links to a foreign country. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the consular officer that their intended activities in the United States will be consistent with the classification of visa for which they are applying. The burden of proof for establishing that the applicant will not engage in unauthorized employment, or other activity inconsistent with the visa category, rests with the applicant. Today's decision cannot be appealed. However, you may reapply at any time. f you decide to reapply, you must submit a new application form and photo, I pay the visa application fee again, and make a new appointment to be interviewed by a consular officer. You should be prepared to provide cohraignigneadl application, since h that t apoprl tcoa application. was ncou.t.pcuremsetnatneedensihyaovuer information that demonstrate that your Sincerely, Consular Officer EFTA01599659
