大家好!
我最近在F1簽證上遇到了極大的麻煩.
我在6/22 & 7/3 去AIT辦簽證,沒想到都被拒簽了,
原因是我不符合214(b)條款,
以下是我的背景:
出生地:China 12歲先到香港,臨時居留,幾個月後移民台灣與祖父同住
當年就取得台灣公民,在台灣接受國中~大學的教育並服兵役,但父母及兄弟姐妹仍是大陸籍,我今年有得到admission, in-state tutition, scholarship and TA
我於6/22 辦簽證時指出示了I-20,財力證明,和所有DS-Forms結果慘遭拒絕,於是7/3根據214(b)條款又多準備了全戶英文戶籍謄本及不動產證明,成績單畢業證書等資料,面試官都分別看過了但還是用相同的條款拒絕發簽證給我,2次面試官問的問題都是在我從小到大的學經歷背景上打轉,大概都十到十五分鐘就結束了.
想請問大家應該怎麼辦??學校8月中就開學了,我現在又不敢預約第三次....
214(b)條款如下:
Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It states:
Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status...
To qualify for a visitor or student visa, an applicant must meet the requirements of sections 101(a)(15)(B) or (F) of the INA respectively. Failure to do so will result in a refusal of a visa under INA 214(b). The most frequent basis for such a refusal concerns the requirement that the prospective visitor or student possess a residence abroad he/she has no intention of abandoning. Applicants prove the existence of such residence by demonstrating that they have ties abroad that would compel them to leave the U.S. at the end of the temporary stay. The law places this burden of proof on the applicant.
Our consular officers have a difficult job. They must decide in a very short time if someone is qualified to receive a temporary visa. Most cases are decided after a brief interview and review of whatever evidence of ties an applicant presents
WHAT CONSTITUTES "STRONG TIES"?
Strong ties differ from country to country, city to city, individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account. "Ties" are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country of residence: your possessions, employment, social and family relationships.
As a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, imagine your own ties in the United States. Would a consular office of a foreign country consider that you have a residence in the United States that you do not intend to abandon? It is likely that the answer would be "yes" if you have a job, a family, if you own or rent a house or apartment, or if you have other commitments that would require you to return to the United States at the conclusion of a visit abroad. Each person's situation is different.
Our consular officers are aware of this diversity. During the visa interview they look at each application individually and consider professional, social, cultural and other factors. In cases of younger applicants who may not have had an opportunity to form many ties, consular officers may look at the applicants specific intentions, family situations, and long-range plans and prospects within his or her country of residence. Each case is examined individually and is accorded every consideration under the law.
