The Indian student recently failed disappointment after his request for American visas was rejected. The refusal letter said that consular officials were not convinced that he had sufficient links to India that would make him return home after completing his studies in America.
Kaushik Raj, at the age of 27, was supposed to complete a postgraduate title in journalism at Columbia University and secured a large scholarship of $ 100,000.
In an interview with Washington Post Raj, he explained that during his application process he made it clear that he was born and grew up in India and that his whole family was located there. Despite these facts, he suspects that the rejection could spring out of the compulsory review of his social media profiles by US officials.
Raj, a former journalist, explained that although he was not very active in the social media and avoided the publication of something controversial, he spent four years of journalism and shared links to his published stories. Although Raj speculates on the role of his digital trace, the official letter of rejection did not bind social media profiles as a specific reason for the decision.
The refusal letter stated: “You were unable to prove that your intended activities in the United States would be in line with the classification of the non -migrant visas for which you used.”
The applicant must prove that he resides in a foreign country that do not intend to leave, she also said.
“Applicants usually meet this requirement by showing that they have strong ties abroad, which indicate that they will return to a foreign country after a temporary visit to the United States. Such ties include professional, work, school, family or social links after traveling to the United States.” You do not include that you have ties that will force you to return to your home country. ”
The decision cannot be dismissed
The letter also mentioned that the decision could not be dismissed, but if he wants to ask again, he will have to submit a new application and appear for an interview and be prepared to explain how his circumstances have changed from this application.
The letter further stated that the decision was final and unacceptable. While he remained free to ask for any subsequent application would require submission of a new documentation, another interview and a clear explanation of how his personal circumstances have changed.
