Again, the answers haven't changed.

We are in the 21st century. Databases should be connected.

So, why *were* you denied? Eh? Tell us that. Because the reason matters.

ALso , are you currently in status or out of status ? Sort of matters!

Have you been accepted by institution of your choice ?

 

[Shushomoy]

I am currently in status , my I 20 and financial documents are also ready but my question is will they learn about my previous denial ?

 

[HRZ]

Form 539 ?

 

[Shushomoy]

I was denied for 214b, so they will learn about denial that's for sure ? I don't think I have chance if they learn I have a denial, no matter what is the reason is

A 214b denial is for that specific application. If circumstances have changed, or there is additional information that could possibly help you, you can reapply, and according to https://travel.state.gov/content/visas/en/general/denials.html your previous 214b denial will not be a factor in considering the new visa application; it is not a permanent ineligibility.

While frustrating, you are still in a far better situation than if your visa denial were for something like fraud or illegal activity or anything that could lead to a *permanent* inelgibility. (I recall years back on another immigration board a convicted arsonist was very offended that he was getting denied based on his criminal record!)

The reason really does matter!

However, if you go into this worrying about how to hide your past, you risk acting suspicious, which could result in another denial.

I understand the reason could matter, may be 214b is nothing much, but won't I be caught in pre conceived intent or misrepresenting my intention ? Because I faced student visa interview from home country and got denial 214b and then with tourist visa I am applying for COS to student again , so won't they consider as pre conceived intent ?
