 If you have applied for the USA B1 visa and your visa has got rejected recently then this video is for you because in this video we are going to discuss what could be the probable reasons for the rejection and also what are the steps you need to take to increase your chance the next time you apply. Keep on watching. Hi guys my name is Shachi and I am a travel and a visa coach. In this channel you will find a lot of videos for the US visa process right from form filling to clearing the interview. Make sure that you check them out I am going to leave the link for that as well as in the description box. So what is the B1 visa? B1 visa is basically a non-immigrant business visa which allows you to visit the US for any temporary or short term work. This could be to attend meetings, to attend conferences, to give 7 hours, to attend trainings or even to take part in exhibitions and contests. So if your B1 visa has got rejected recently the top thing on your mind might be when can I apply again and the answer to this question is you can actually reapply for the B1 visa as soon as 3 working days. So if you feel that you are confident about your application and you are sufficiently prepared then go ahead and reapply immediately there is no reason to wait for a long period of time. On the other hand if you feel that your application was lacking somewhere and you need to prepare well and gain more confidence it is also completely okay to wait for a couple of weeks, notch up your preparation and then apply again. So now that we have the basics in place let's start with what could be the probable reasons for rejection of the B1 visa and how to correct the same. So in my experience I have seen that most of the times B1 visa gets rejected because the purpose of travel is not communicated clearly. When you are applying for a business visa it is very important that your business visit is essential, it is important and it is critical. If the visa officer is able to sense that this is a trip which can be avoided and this is a work which can be done over an email, over a call, it can be substituted by somebody else or even postponed to some later date he might reject your visa application. So let's understand this with an example. Let's say that the purpose of your trip is a business meeting and when you are asked this question in the interview if you just say that it is to attend a business meeting then this does not communicate anything important or critical. It is important to give a little more information and a little more backstory. You can probably talk about a project that you have been working on for very long or a deal which requires your expertise and hence your presence in the US office. So giving all this information when you talk about your purpose of visit will also help the visa officer to grasp the seriousness of the situation and the importance of your trip and increase your chance of getting the B1 visa. I have worked with a lot of professionals and I helped them to frame and communicate the purpose of their trip which is often times the first question to be asked. So if you are in a similar situation and you would like to work with me then do book a one-to-one consultation session with me. The link for that is in the description box below. Second area which might be the reason for rejection of your B1 visa is your invite letter. Now when you are going for a business trip the invite letter becomes an extremely critical document and it should have some key features. The first one is that it should be on the letterhead of the US entity. So let's say that you are going for a client visit then make sure that the invite letter is on the letterhead of the client. Or if you are going to the US office of your company then make sure that the invite letter is on the letterhead of the US entity. The second thing that you need to pay attention for when it comes to the invite letter is the purpose of travel. Make sure that the purpose of travel which is mentioned in the invite letter is the same as what you are saying in the interview. So let's take an example. So if you say that the purpose of your travel to US is new process onboarding. So if you are going to use these words in the interview make sure that the same is mentioned in the invite letter. Many times I see that the invite letter is a very standard generic document where the purpose of travel is just mentioned as business meeting, training, conferences. But this does not help the cause so pay a little more attention to what is written in the invite letter. Actually also take care to ensure that the invite letter clearly mentions the intended dates of your travel and also mentions who will be bearing the expenses of your trip and your accommodation. Coming to the third reason for rejection and this is not knowing the technical details related to your purpose of visit and related to your work. So when you apply for a B1 visa all the details related to the purpose of visit and the work that you intend to do in the US become extremely important and can be asked by the visa officer. Let's say that during the interview you say that the purpose of your US trip is for a new process integration. Now any technical question can be asked related to this and you should be prepared to answer and give all the details to the visa officer. Also it is important to carry a work plan with you for the duration of your intended stay in the US. Let's say that you plan to stay there for two weeks then for those two weeks make sure that you have a work plan ready. What all is the work plan, what are the meetings, what are the client visits and everything else. So prepare this document and carry this with you for the interview. Guys these were the three main reasons for rejection of B1 visa and also how you can correct them. I hope this video has helped you.
