A woman recounted on Reddit that her attempt to obtain a US tourist visa was unsuccessful, even with a strong financial standing. She works for a reputable American fintech company in India and earns ₹16 lakh per annum.
The 24-year-old shared that during her B2 visa interview, which took place in Delhi, she was informed of the rejection. She speculates that her lack of international travel history and her age might have been contributing factors. “Anyhow will try again, will create a good international travel footprint,” she stated, expressing her determination to reapply.
Social Media Reactions
Her post garnered significant attention online, with users offering various perspectives.
One user pointed out the high cost of visiting New York City, especially during the holidays, suggesting the consular officer might have been hesitant due to the expenses involved, even with a good salary.
Another user advised building a stronger travel history by visiting Schengen or Japan first, believing this would improve her chances on a subsequent US visa application.
Several comments highlighted that while her income was good, her age and lack of travel history could be perceived as risk factors by visa officers.
Understanding the B2 Visa
The B2 visa is specifically for temporary visits to the United States for tourism purposes. It can be used for vacations, visiting family and friends, seeking medical treatment, or attending social events.
