| 9. | How long do I have to wait before I reapply for Consular Processing of nonimmigrant visa? | | | |
| | There is no time restriction on reapplying for a nonimmigrant visa after a denial. If you have additional information or supporting documentation to present which is substantially different from your initial application you are encouraged to reapply. |
| | | | | Note: If your circumstances are unchanged and you will present only evidence which has already been reviewed recently by an officer, your chances of gaining approval on a second or third application
are much lower. In such cases, it is probably better to wait until your personal circumstances have changed significantly before reapplying. |

| | | The meaning of ‘strong ties’ differs from country to country, city to city and individual to individual. Some examples of ties can be a job, a house, a family, a bank account. ‘Ties’ are the various aspects of your life that bind you to your country
of residence like your possessions, employment, social and family relationships. |
