FACTS ON THE REAL LOSSES OF A DENIAL
The average financial loss of a regular applicant flying in from a nearby city or province for a US TOURIST VISA is about $400. If the applicant has a family of five (5) and all are flying in from the countryside, the cost can be as much as $2000!
These include the embassy fees, courier fees, plane and transport fares, hotel or lodging, food, and other traveling expenses.
What a waste of money if a denial is the result of all the efforts for the application!
Yes, money can be recovered but there is a greater consequence for a denial.
The record of denial in the US Embassy may make it harder for you to apply again. If you apply again, you have to convince them now why a different outcome should be given to you.
Other countries which require visas for entry will also have their guards up in issuing you a visa, bearing in mind that the most powerful visa issuing country, the United States Embassy, had already denied you. Also, applying again immediately after a denial is not an option. There is usually a time frame of at least six (6) months to one (1) year before you can apply again.
And that is not a guarantee of an approval because your circumstances might not have changed in such a short span of time. So many have heard these statements from the consuls, “I am sorry, it is still not your lucky day,” or “I am sorry, I still can not issue you a visa at this time. Come back when your circumstances have changed.”
