No one is certain of the precise cause of the increase in US visa denials in India. The experience of a 30-year-old lady at the US consulate in delhi serves as a stark reminder of how arbitrary the procedure is. She waited a year for her interview for a B1/B2 visiting visa, but after answering only five questions in less than two minutes, she was turned down.
 
People assume that her brief responses to the visa inspector may have contributed to the rejection since she shares her story online. Notably, she responded with the single word "vacation" without providing any additional context when asked why she want to travel to the US.  It's not just about the answers, though.  Some others think that the fact that she was young and unmarried contributed to the denial as well.


Unmarried, young women are frequently viewed as "high risk" for immigration.  The officer may conclude that you might settle abroad if there are no obvious connections to india that would compel her to return.  The visa officer is ultimately the only one who truly understands the cause.  Some are sent away with a rejection letter, while others are approved by keeping it brief and straightforward. 

The entire procedure is faulty, annoying, and uncertain.  Given the US's tough stance on visas, it's impossible to predict what would result in a rejection.  The only option available to indian applicants is to keep trying.  Even having confidence throughout the interviews may not be sufficient.  The whims of an official seated at the embassy could determine your entire future.
