THIS IS MY OPINION, NOT LEGAL ADVICE!!!!\n\nForeign nationals from poor countries are often denied visas under 214(b), intending immigrant.  Unlike in other areas of the law, applicants are considered guilty until proven innocent.\n\nYou must convice the visa officer that your life in Georgia is better than a potential life in America.  This is accomplished by showing close ties to your home country.\n\nYou should present evidence of the following things at your visa interview:\n1)  A letter from your employer indicating that you have a good job and are expected to return to your job after you return.\n2)  A copy of your bank statements showing that you have sufficient money to fund your trip.\n3)  A copy of your lease/mortgage showing that you have a home in Georgia that you can not leave.\n4)  Proof of a car.\n5)  Photos of you travelling in other developed countries.  For example, if you went to London on vacation and came back, you are more likely to return to Georgia after visiting New York.\n6)   A good reason to visit America.  I would say that you want to go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles.  Don't say: I want to stay at my cousin's house for three months.\n7) Luck.  Honestly, if your cousin lives in Chicago and the visa officer is from Chicago, you will have better luck.  I once went to a lecture by a visa officer.  He said that he once approved somebody because an applicant was planning on studying in America, but wanted to look at colleges first.  One of the five colleges listed, was the speakers small liberal arts college.  Because of that, the visa was granted.

K-1 seems to be the preferred sort; K-3 a second choice. Forget the tourist visa -- it could lead to a long-term bar on entry.\n\nBest deal of all, that a friend of mine used: the fiancé wrangled a diplomatic job and came free of controls. By the time the job ended they were ready to go to the other country anyway.

It is hard to get a visa to the UK too, which I'm trying to do.  Could you possibly get your former NYC employer to sponsor you for a work visa?  That would be your easiest (legal) route.  Good luck, I LOVE NYC!  (But everyone should leave before they become bitter and hard.)

I wouldn't worry about it. Just leave as planned and there won't be any problems. But if you're still worried, contact immigration at their website. They usually answer e-mails within 24 hours. Hope you enjoyed your visit to America. Have a safe trip home.\nwww.uscis.gov

♡First of all, do you have/carry two passports, one for the United States and one for Japan? If so, you have dual citizenship (being a citizen of two nations), or dual nationality. Since you're an American citizen, you may travel freely to Japan for up to 90 days without a visa since the USA is one of the countries that have visa exemption arrangements with Japan.\nhttp://www.mofa.go.jp/j_info/visit/visa/02.html\nMy nieces and nephews all have dual citizenship and they  travel back and forth freely from the US to Japan without any special visas.\n☆By Japanese laws, adult persons generally cannot hold both foreign citizenship and Japanese citizenship (dual nationality):\n～those who have acquired dual nationality before age 20 must choose a single nationality before reaching age 22. \n～those who have acquired dual nationality after age 20 must choose a single nationality in 2 years.\nHope this helps!♡

Depends what country you come from...US immigration laws say that you have to be in your home country for a certain amount of time while your application is being processed(each country is different) until you are granted entry......

Student visas are "duration of status". That means they last as long as you are a student. You have to be enrolled full time. When the student enrolls, the school will fill out the I-20 with an estimated graduation date. If the student is still in school on that date, the school can file an extension to allow the student to complete his/her studies. The student can also transfer schools. The visa expires automatically if the student graduates from the program, drops out, or fails to remain a full time student.\n\nIf she has lost her student status, she will have to apply for reinstatement if she lost it less than 60 days prior or she will have to apply for a whole new visa. In the meantime, she is out of status and is accruing unlawful presence in the U.S.

Recently, the U.S. has updated its visa policies to increase security for our citizens and visitors. It will likely take you longer to get a visa than it used to, and you will find that a few new security measures have been put into place. For details that may apply specifically to your country, see information posted by your nearest consulate or embassy. \n\nSee the following web site for more information:\n\nhttp://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/obtainingvisa/index.html

Yes, you can change your ticket to stay for the entire period granted.\n\nYou can also apply for a visa extension, which, if granted, gives you a permission to visit for longer than 5 months.  However, be sure to only apply after the third month, but before the visa expires.\n\nWhatever you do, make sure to NOT OVERSTAY your visa (either the 5 months, or if extended, beyond the new expiry date), as doing so can result in your not allowing to re-enter US for TEN YEARS.

Depends what country you are in.  From my experience you would have had to send in a visa extension form a few weeks before the experation date on your current visa.

You cannot adjust your status from a J visa to any other status while still in the USA. You must first return to your country of origin and then apply for another visa. Also, if you are in the USA with a J1 visa program that is paid for by any govermental program you must return to your country of origin for a minimum of two(2) years before applying to return to the USA.As soon as you are no longer in the program you are " out of status" and must leave the USA immediately or be deported.

the visa officer is GOD, he/she can do whatever they please and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Their power is completely unchecked. You just happened to be unlucky.\n\nThey must've ,however, given you a reason... what exactly is it ? you didn't say... also they very often deny you if you don't apply in your country of origin.\n\nMy only advice to you is to go to your country of origin and apply from there... when you go there make sure you prepare well and have a good story as of why you were previously denied.\n\ngood luck
