9 FAM 41.31 N1.1 Factors in Determining
Entitlement to Temporary Visitor Classification
(CT:VISA-828; 07-24-2006)
a. In determining whether visa applicants are entitled to temporary visitor
classification, you (the consular officer) must assess whether the
applicants:
(1) Have a residence in a foreign country, which they do not intend to
abandon;
(2) Intend to enter the United States for a period of specifically limited
duration; and
(3) Seek admission for the sole purpose of engaging in legitimate
activities relating to business or pleasure.
b. If an applicant for a B1/B2 visa fails to meet one or more of the above
criteria, you must refuse the applicant under section 214(b) of the INA
(See 9 FAM 40.7 for a complete discussion of how to apply Section
214(b)).


9 FAM 41.31 N3.4 Ties Abroad
(CT:VISA-701; 02-15-2005)
The applicant must demonstrate permanent employment, meaningful
business or financial connections, close family ties, or social or cultural
associations, which will indicate a strong inducement to return to the country of origin.
