A 28-year-old indian national who made a mistake during an interview for a B1/B2 tourist visa in the United Arab Emirates paid a hefty price. Even though he had a steady employment in Dubai, he was turned down without the visa officer ever looking at his paperwork. The individual claimed on social media that he was employed by a leading energy company and that he was going to Houston for an offshore technology conference. The immigration officer wasn't convinced, even though he had an invitation and company approval.

 His response to the question of how green hydrogen relates to his work was essential.  He hesitated, which probably was the last of him.  Visa officials evaluate applicants' confidence, intent, and ties to their native country in addition to reviewing their documentation. Additionally, candidates who appear to be using a business visa for study rather than an official assignment raise red flags for the US.  


A clear proof of return is essential to persuade a visa officer.  The fact that he was funding his trip rather than his business didn't help either, raising more questions about his return. Even though he can't attend the conference, he and other applicants should learn from it.  You will probably suffer the same fate unless you have a strong cause and are confident.  Not only can a botched interview cost you money, but it can also prevent you from applying for jobs in the future.
