Visa refusal
The word “refusal” at a U.S. consulate covers very different outcomes. Some are final, some are just a pause, and the difference changes everything about what you should do next. Find the code on your slip below, or start with the two we see most often at India posts.
Refusal codes we cover
The code is printed on the slip you received at the window. Read the one that matches yours. If you’re not sure which you have, read both: the contrast between them is often the clearest explanation of what happened.

If you need to re-interview
A reapplication interview is a fresh interview. Rehearsing the specific change in your case, once or twice, is the most useful thing you can do the week before you go back. Free to start.
