Visa Denials
My visa application was denied. What went wrong?
Please see the information on the State Department web site at http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/denials/denials_1361.html.
I have been refused a visa under Section 221(g) or 214(b) of the Immigration & Nationality Act. May I still travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program?
A prior visa refusal under these sections of U.S. law does not make you ineligible for the Visa Waiver Program. Because the same issues that caused the visa denial may still be relevant when you seek to enter the U.S under the Visa Waiver Program, however, we recommend that you apply for a visa.
