Most
visa denials are made under Section
214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)
because the applicant has not convinced the interviewing
officer that he or she has sufficiently strong ties to Bolivia
to compel his or her return after a limited visit. Click

for more information.
Refusals under Section
214(b) of the INA are not permanent. Applicants may
reapply whenever they believe their circumstances have changed
sufficiently, or if they have new evidence to present. People
refused under Section
214(b) of the INA who wish to reapply must pay the nonrefundable
visa application fee.
Some cases are refused under Section 221(g) of the INA and
requested to return with additional information to assist
in the adjudication. Persons refused under Section 221(g)
of the INA will be given a form letter explaining what additional
information is needed and when to reappear before the consular
officer. These applicants do not have to pay another application
fee and may return with the requested information as specified
on the form letter.
Applicants who are refused under other Sections of the INA
will be told at the time of their visa refusal and will
receive a written document explaining the reason the applicant
is ineligible for a visa. In some cases, waivers of ineligibilities
are available; if a waiver is available for your type of
ineligibility, you will be advised at the time of your refusal.
