1) Failing to adequately demonstrate that the purpose of your trip is not immigration-related during the visa interview. This can occur if you answer questions incorrectly, appear uncertain, or exhibit a lack of clarity.2) Errors in the submitted documents or evidence of document tampering.3) Missing crucial documents or incomplete information on the application.4) A history of illegal stays in the U.S. or potential issues related to U.S. security, economy, or health.5) For individuals who might require financial support from the U.S. government during their stay, there is a higher likelihood of denial.6) Health-related reasons, such as contagious diseases, mental health issues, or substance abuse, can also lead to denial.

When a visa application is denied, you will receive a written notice of refusal. The color of the visa denial letter indicates the reason for the denial, and your response should vary accordingly:- Green letter: Indicates that required documents were not submitted. If you provide the missing documents and reapply, your chances of getting a visa are higher.- Yellow letter: Suggests that there is a perceived intent to immigrate to the U.S. In this case, reapplying for a visa is unlikely to succeed. However, the denial is not permanent, and you may reapply within 12 months from the date of the denial.- - Immigration and Nationality Act (INA): Allows applicants denied due to specific ineligibilities to apply for a waiver of those ineligibilities.
