Visa Denial: What Atlanta Residents Can Do Next

A visa denial can be a devastating setback for applicants and their families. At LaGrone Law, we understand the challenges of facing a denied visa and are here to help Atlanta residents take the next steps toward resolution.

Whether you were applying for any nonimmigrant visa category, student visa, or immigrant visa, our team is ready to guide you through the complexities of the appeal process.

Common Reasons for Visa Denial

Visa denials can occur for various reasons, including:

• Missing Documents: Insufficient or incomplete supporting documents.

• Immigrant Intent: The consular officer determines that the visa applicant may not return to their home country after their temporary stay.

• Financial Status: Inadequate evidence of sufficient finances or financial support.

• Administrative Processing: Additional background checks or further documentation may be required.

• Permanent Ineligibility: Certain past actions or conditions may render an applicant permanently ineligible under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Steps to Take After a Visa Denial

If your visa application has been denied, consider the following steps:

1. Understand the Denial Reason: The consular officer will provide a letter stating the reasons for denial. Carefully review this information to identify areas that need correction.

2. Consult an Immigration Attorney: Work with a visa denial attorney in Atlanta who can evaluate your case and provide options for moving forward.

3. Gather Convincing Evidence: Compile additional information or documentation that sufficiently demonstrates eligibility.

4. Reapply or Appeal: Depending on the situation, you may need to reapply with corrected information or pursue the appeal process using Form I-290B.

5. Address Financial Concerns: Provide evidence of financial support or sufficient finances to meet visa requirements.
