Executives and CEOs around the world complaining that they are being denied a US visa under 214(b) put the most common ground of visa refusal back in the limelight at a time when the visa officers are extremely cautious over whom to allow entry to the US. Jasveer Singh, an Indian CEO of a matchmaking app Knot Dating, was refused a B1/B2 visa on the same ground and he was told that he could not prove strong ties to his home country India to convince the visa officers that he would not want to settle in the US, but has to come back to India.
Singh said he runs a company, pays people, pays taxes to the country but as the outcome suggests, these factors were not enough.
