How to get USA Visa

5 Most Common Reasons for US Visa Denials - How to Avoid Them?

A US visa - B1/B2 type is the best chance for people to visit the country for tourism, medical treatment, and business issues or to attend a conference. Unfortunately, many applicants are denied due to mistakes that can be prevented.

In this article, we will share with you the five most common reasons why the US Embassy does not issue a visa and teach you how to properly prepare so that this does not happen to you.

Reason 1: Weak ties to the homeland

The main criterion for the embassy is to determine whether the applicant will return to Georgia or remain in America illegally.

If you cannot convince the consul that you have close ties to Georgia, you will definitely be denied visa.

How to avoid this mistake?

Provide evidence for ties to Georgia

• Stable employment
• Personal business
• Real estate
• Minor children or other family responsibilities
• Academic obligations (school, university, college)

Bring supporting documentation:

• Employment certificate
• Real estate extract
• Extract from the business registry
• Birth certificates of family members, etc.

Reason 2: Inaccurate or incomplete DS-160 form

If the application is filled out incorrectly, some fields are omitted, incomplete or false information is provided - this causes distrust.

How to avoid this mistake?

• Fill out the DS-160 form carefully - every detail is crucial.
• The information provided in the application must correspond to the documents you have and the answers you give at the interview.

Reason 3: Unclear purpose of visit to America

If you cannot clearly explain why you are going to America or your answer shows confusion and nervousness, this gives the consul reason to suspect that the real purpose of your trip is something else (for example, to stay in America).

How to avoid this mistake?

• Be specific and explain the purpose of your trip in detail. For example, “I am going to Boston for medical research and ophthalmological surgery; I will be in the country from August 10 to 30.” Alternatively: “I am invited to the international art exhibition on September 5-7, in New York.”
• If you have an invitation, medical certificates, calculations from the clinic, a conference ticket, hotel reservation or tickets — be sure to present them.

Reason 4: Insufficient financial resources

The consul must be convinced that you really have the financial means to travel to America.

How should you proceed?

Submit:

• Bank statements for the last 6 months
• Salary certificates
• Income from other sources: rental property, self-employment income, etc.
• Balance sheet of a company or entrepreneur
• Dividends

Reason 5: Nervous and unconvincing behavior

The conversation can last only 2-3 minutes. During this time, it is important to be confident, concise and specific.

How should you proceed?

• Prepare in advance to answer likely questions:
• Why are you going to the USA?
• Where are you going to stay?
• Who is financing the trip?
• When will you return?
• Be natural and answer questions as naturally as possible.
• Try not to worry — they need honest, stable, and firm answers.

Getting a visa depends on several key factors — clarity of your goal, ties to your homeland, financial stability, and self-confidence.

If you prepare properly, getting a US visa is not unrealistic and does not depend solely on “luck.”

If you want your DS-160 form to be filled out professionally, prepare to appear confidently at an interview, or simply want to make sure you are on the right track
