According to USCIS, The main reason for denying a nonimmigrant visa is that the applicant “does not establish his or her right to non-immigrant status” as stated in Section 214 (b) of the Immigration and Citizenship Act (INA, abbreviated in English).
Immigration lawyer Nomi G. As Ramirez explained to CNN, when does this happen? “The State Department does not believe you have provided sufficient evidence that you are returning to your home country.

However, Ramirez notes that there is no list of specific requirements because the immigration officer’s “many times it is subject to choice”.
