Many individuals have been shocked by an indian traveler's recent account of an unexpected visa experience. Their current visa was denied and revoked during the renewal procedure, despite the fact that they had a valid B1?B2 visa that was scheduled to expire in november 2025. The person was eligible for an interview waiver because they had submitted for a Dropbox renewal in Hyderabad. But after sending in their paperwork, the US consulate called and asked for a face-to-face interview. The officer asked about their prior nearly six-month stay in the united states throughout the interview.

Their visa was stamped "Cancelled Without Prejudice" after the interview, and they received a blue slip stating that they were ineligible under Section 214(b).  This section usually indicates that the applicant's ties to their home country were insufficient.  The consulate advised them to submit a fresh visa application.  It's not always the case that a valid visa is unaffected by the renewal process, despite what many individuals may believe.  The embassy has the right to cancel the current visa without causing any harm if they find any problems, such as a prolonged stay in the US.  This means a fresh application process, but it does not entail a permanent ban.
 
It's critical for anyone dealing with comparable difficulties to comprehend the ramifications of 214(b) denials.  Future applications may be more likely to be approved if proof of ties to india is strengthened, such as steady work, property ownership, or familial responsibilities.  A more positive result might result from addressing these problems in a fresh application.
