Previous Visa Rejections

[kn2172]

Regarding Question : Has XXX XXX XXX ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry or ordered to leave Canada or any other country?

My H1b Petition was returned for revocation in 2007 , should I answer this question as "YES" or "NO" ?

I had got the approved petition but when I went for H1b stamping in India , i got a 221(g) white form.

I have already applied , should I file a CSE ??

Please advise.

Regards,

previous visa rejections have no impact on your any immigration application to Canada. You should be transparent with cic and mention all the denials you've had though.

I've been denied visa to US, UK and Canada. I just got my PPR.

Good luck.

I had one L1 B blanket Visa rejection in past . It was rejected at US consulate in Chennai .. I did mention that in the Visa rejection question .

Any kind of refusal /rejection/deny , please mention.

Hi Andy,

In my case the H1B petition did not get selected in the lottery. I was only informed by my employer that we had filed H1B for you but petition was not selected in the lottery. I asked them whether this should be treated as a visa rejection they said 'No' because the petition was denied because of lottery system and did not even reach the Consulate. Should I select 'Yes' for the question "have you ever been refused a visa or permit, denied entry, or been asked to leave Canada or any other country?". I was planning to select 'No'.

Thanks.

You should answer "yes" (provided you/your employer were not requested additional information, you/your employer subsequently submitted the information, and you eventually got your H1B, in which case you should answer "no"). If you've already applied and did not say "yes" then definitely raise a CSE right away. All the best.

Like the other poster above said, you should select no (if this was your only case of visa "issues"). Best wishes.

I was also denied H1-B, what reason you guys wrote in Sch-A, explanation. mine reason was - as you know h1b is speciality occupation and my employer was unable to prove because when I was hired the job was posted in craigslist and there they didnt mention that bachelors degree is minimum reqd, hence USCIS didnt approve and said that this job is no different than any other job.

That should be more than enough. In fact, I would suggest that you pare it down. Just say "USCIS [note: use full form] denied the employer's petition on my behalf, stating that the H-1B requirements for the posted job were not met" or something like that. All the best.

is this good...

In October 2009, I was denied H-1B Visa petition (Form I-129, Petition for a Non-immigrant Worker) filed on May, 2009 by my company Stemtech (petitioner) on the basis of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering (I had not completed Master of Science in Computer Science in May 2009).
Reason for denial:
• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) denied the employer's H1-B petition on my behalf, stating that the H-1B requirements of a "specialty occupation" for the posted job of Web Applications Programmer were not met.
• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) stated that a baccalaureate or higher degree is minimum requirement for the entry into this speciality occupation. My company failed to provide classified advertisements soliciting for the current position, showing that the company requires its applicants to have a minimum of a baccalaureate or higher degree or equivalent in a specific specialty because this job was posted in craigslist which didn’t mention a bachelor’s degree as minimum requirement for this position rather it mentioned about the expertise skill and experience needed for this position.
• USCIS hence concluded that the company didn’t demonstrate that the offered position is a speciality occupation which is the main criteria for H1-B petition.

That's more than good. That's ample. I would say more than necessary but no harm in explaining it in such detail. You should be good. Cheers.

Depends on a refusal reasons... refusals on a grounds of deception, or fraudulent docs may indeed result in a new refusal.
