| 36. | What can I do if my visa request is denied? | | |
| | | If your visa application is denied, before you leave the U.S. Embassy or Consulate, obtain an explanation of the specific reason you are denied the visa and ask about re-application procedures. Also, try to obtain the full name of the officer who interviewed
you, as well as her or his fax number. The International Student and Scholar Office may be able to help you, if you can provide this information. |
