F2 visa refused 4 times

[Biman12]

Hi I am from Nepal. My husband is on F1 visa and he will graduate in December 2020. My F2 visa was denied 2 times from community college and 2 times from university. They gave white paper stating every alien shall be considered immigrant unless he/she satisfies the officer that he/she have non immigration intent. Also, stated it can be proved by family ties, possessions, employment. Since I started working now can I state employment and show strong ties towards own country.

what should we do now? Should I try again showing employment?

It would be futile to try again. If your spouse plans to go the H1 route, you can join him at that time in H4 status. F1 visa denial should not affect F2 denial.

Sorry. I meant F2 visa denial should not affect the H4 visa.

Its up to you. I don't know if it will work but atleast you have a reason to apply again. 

Having a job is not a reason to go back as you can always quit the job.

For someone who gets a 214b refusal, the fact that the visa applicant has a job is not necessarily going to help because the person is ready to leave the United States. One might try to argue in response to an F-2 visa refusal that the only person's intent that should be the focus is the F-1 visa holder and if the Consulate found the F-1 holding nonimmigrant intent, then there should be no question for the F-2 applicant.

My husband went in 2016 and we got married in 2018. He is in undergrad course which is ending in December 2020.

first refusal was due to transfer to community college. They just asked why community college? And that’s it.

He came to visit Nepal 2 times once in 2018 for marriage and then in 2019 for visit of family. Now his visa and study both are ending in December 2020.

Hi,

It is indeed unfortunate that your F2 visa applications have been denied 4 times in the past. It is important to establish strong non-immigrant intent of both yourself and your spouse, while applying for your F2 visa. Among other requisites, you need to make sure to highlight all the strong ties you have to your home country, employment can surely evidence your commitment to return to your home country. We would suggest that you consult with a qualified and experienced Immigration Attorney who can assist you in making an honest and clear F2 visa re-application.
