What Does A 214(b) Refusal Mean in U.S. Immigration Law?

A 214(b) refusal in U.S. immigration law refers to a specific section of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) that is often cited when a U.S. consular officer denies a nonimmigrant visa application. This section is often seen with individuals applying for B-1/ B-2 Visitor Visas but it is applicable to all nonimmigrant visa categories such as F-1, E-1/E-2, and L-1, etc. What Is a 214(b) Refusal?

What is the DS‑260, Its Role in Consular Processing, and Why Accuracy Matters?

If you are applying for a U.S. immigrant visa, completing the online Form DS-260 is a major step in the immigration process once the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services approves your petition. The DS-260 asks for detailed personal, family, and background information, which helps the United States Department of State (“DOS”) confirm your identity and eligibility.

At Enterline and Partners, we help clients avoid such roadblocks by making sure their DS-260 is accurate and complete from the start. In this guide, we’ll cover what the DS-260 is, when to file it, and the key things to keep in mind during the overall process.
