A USA visa permits a foreign individual to request permission to enter the country at a US port of entry (usually an airport). We can ensure that your USA visa application goes smoothly, but an approved USA visa does not guarantee access to the US.
At the port of entry, officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have the ability to allow or reject entrance. The CBP officer will give you an entry sticker or a paper Form I-94, also known as an Arrival/Departure Record if you are allowed to enter the United States.
Non-Immigrant Visas
If you are not a citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States, you may enter the country on a variety of nonimmigrant visas. What kind of visa is necessary under U.S. immigration law will depend on the reason for your intended journey as well as other details.

What To Do If Your USA Visa is Refused?
If your US visa is refused, you will receive a letter explaining the reason for the denial. The most common reasons for visa denial include:
-Failure to meet the requirements for the type of visa you are applying for.
-A criminal record or other negative immigration history.
After considering the reasons your visa was refused you can proceed.
-Appeal the decision. You may be able to appeal the decision if you believe that the consular officer made a mistake. However, appeals are rarely successful, and you will need to provide strong evidence to support your appeal.
-Reapply for a visa. You may be able to reapply for a visa if you can address the reasons for your denial. For example, if you were denied because you did not have enough ties to your home country, you could try to provide additional evidence of your ties, such as a letter from your employer or a property deed.
