回复：收养的小孩H4拒签，请PJIANG 和8老师帮指点！

老妈4年前私自抱养了一个小孩，一直在我国内的家住，我们回去看过那小孩几次，每次时间少于一个月，没有共同居住够两年。最近费不少周折才办下了收养证。本人是H1B,在办收养证后一个月递了485，现在485 PENDING之中。在文学城看了几个收养案例签H4成功的例子，我们也于10月中旬通过中信银行递了H4申请，之后先生有被请去面试，然后又按要求补充了上幼儿园和幼儿手册，上面有我们国内的地址。我们还递交了收养证的公证材料等材料。今天收到拒签信，说根据214（b）不符合发给签证的条件。

小孩一直跟老妈住，我们希望尽快把他带来美国共同生活，担心太大了管不住了。各位大师PJIANG,8老师等请帮出谋指点，拒签的理由是什么呢，签B2有希望吗？

-The visa officer said your adopted child has the immigration intent and thus, denied the child visa application. I think this denial reason is ridiculous. Based on The Immigration Act of 1990 which codified the doctrine of dual intent, the H1 or H4 visa is dual intent visa which allows the applicant have immigration intent and thus, the VO should have not used this reason to deny/refuse your child's H4 visa application. So, your child may try to apply for the H4 visa (not B2) again and may argue with the VO that the H4 visa is dual intent visa (allow the applicant have immigration intent). Your child had better get the interview with the VO. Contact the US Consulate whether your spouse can be allowed to accompany your child for the visa interview. If no, may use 中信银行 again but provide a letter to argue the denial reason.

 The following is the 214(b):

Section 214(b) is part of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). It states:

Every alien shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status...
