Case Studies

R was a young professional in his home country who had previously studied in the United States. He had also visited as a tourist. At some point, he was accused of committing a willful, material misrepresentation and permanently barred from the United States. However, it was not clear which US government agency had made the accusation; when it initially made the accusation; and why it had made the accusation. Rather than engage in a guessing game, we reached out on R’s behalf to the consulate which had recently denied his visa and asked for an explanation. Upon receiving our inquiry, the consulate re-opened and reviewed R’s case and after a couple of weeks rescinded the decision. R then applied for another B visa and received it.
