An Indian man’s dream vacation to Florida was cut short at the US Embassy in New Delhi when his B1/B2 visa application was rejected in just 40 seconds. The man shared on Reddit that he was denied after answering three questions honestly—he wanted a vacation, had never traveled abroad, and had a girlfriend in Florida. The officer issued a 214(b) refusal, suspecting strong US ties and risk of overstay. Reddit users advised that zero travel history and a US-based girlfriend typically raise red flags. The man asked for tips on improving his chances for a future application. (PC: NDTV)
