Form DS-160 Question

International Students

<p>Hey CC. I have started the horrible process of applying for my student visa and I am hoping that everything works out well!</p>

<p>Have you ever been refused a U.S. Visa, been refused admission to the United States, or withdrawn your application for admission at the point of entry?</p>

<p>I HAVE been refused a US Visa once before in June 2003. It was a tourist visa.</p>

<p>I selected 'yes' and a textbox came up saying: 'Explain'.</p>

<p>I will state when, where and what type of visa I was rejected for... but do I need to state why? I think it was because of poor ties... I was 11/12 then. What's the best way I can phrase the reason for my rejection?</p>

<p>Thanks. I'm simply horrible when it comes to doing offical forms and all that and I go blank and crazy over little things!</p>

<p>i have the same exact problem…denied the same exact time as you.</p>

<p>do you think if you put “No” as the answer they would know? because this seems like the easiest option to avoid any other possible denials</p>

<p>jacktharippa - don’t lie, they will be able to find out if they want to.</p>

<p>I think doughboy now has his visa, so it would be interesting to know what he ended up writing in that regard.</p>
