J2 dependent visa got denied under section 214b


Recommended Posts

I came to the US on a J1 visa and have applied J2 dependent visa for my wife.
During our visa interview, the consulate officer asked about how did you get into this relationship. As a response, we said we`re relatives, to the consular officer. we are uncle and niece (distant relatives), for this reason, her visa got refused. Actually, my wife is my cousin sister’s daughter (my mother’s sibling (sister) daughter’s daughter). This reason was recorded by the interviewing officer. Her visa got refused twice under section 214b. We showed a valid marriage certificate to the consulate officer.
In this circumstance, how can I prove we are not close relatives?
Are there any extra documents to submit?
Is there any way to get a J2 dependent visa for my wife? Or
Can I apply for an alternative visa like visitor visa (B2)? and what are the consequences?
Suggestions are requested.

you (she) can apply for whatever visa she wants, but there will be no magic solution to this situation,,,,a B2 visa issuance also requires overcoming 214b...how is that supposed to happen? A B2 application will face the same scrutiny and be denied for the same reasons...

Thank you for your response.

then how to overcome this issue.
