friends, i can feel the helplessness,despair, agony n pain deep inside you after getting visa refusal.....aaaaaaaaaah.
i took my ck on dec 8 and then i started working on visa issue, let me tell u that i waited for step 1 and step 2 results before applying for visa. i met lot many ppl, discussed many issues, memorized section 214(b).after consulting many fellows,visa experts,and my ''visa holding lucky'' friends i extracted following important points to get visa.
.
>u must have taken both step 1 n step 2 before applying.
>u must b employed.
>u must have legal papers(affidavit n legal surity bonds) showing that u will return after c.s other wise u will b legally liable.
>u must have proper itinerary showing that u will only visit c.s exam center n no other visits inside u.s
>u must not mention about ur relatives in u.s( even if u have any relatives there.And if u mention thats like a suicide in islamabad embassy)).
>u must have strong bank statement of ur sponsors.
>ur future plans shud b ''cooked'' in such a way that shows u will obvoiusly cm back to ur homeland after c.s
>ur personal job's pay slips, showing that u r really getting pay here in pakistan n cant stay away for a long time.
>properly signed ''leave application'' from ur job officer, institution head(M.S).
>all the documentations regarding c.s
> hotel booking in u.s showing ur temporary stay.
