什么是214(b)和221(g)

这是两条影响我们申请非移民签证的最重要的美国移民法条款。

 Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 

This section of law prohibits the issuance of a visa to any applicant who is unable to establish that he or she is traveling to the United States for the sole purpose of accompanying a student or exchange visitor; has convincing evidence of sufficient funds to cover all expenses; and has sufficiently strong social, economic and other ties to compel a return to his or her home country after a temporary and lawful stay in the United States. 
                                                                                                                                    ---George H. Hogeman
                                                                                                                                       Consular Section Chief  

以上是上海总领事对于214B条款的解释，根据美国移民法，任何申请美国非移民签证的申请者都会被默认为是具有移民倾向的， immigration intention. 因此，凡是不能够消除签证官的这种有罪假定的申请者，都会被视为有移民倾向，就会毫无疑问地被拒签。

其实在很多情况，签证官给出一些诸如工作年限不够，没有结婚，没有牢固约束力等所谓的拒签理由，究其原因，就是不能证明自己具备非移民资格。

221 （g）

Refusal under Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act means that essential information is missing from an application.

   In order for an application to be reconsidered it may be necessary to do one of the following:
1，Appear personally for an interview
2，Apply in your consular district, if you had applied elsewhere
3，Submit additional documentation as requested
4，Wait for approved I-129 and I-797 forms from BCIS (Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services)
5，Wait for the results of additional administrative processing

221(g)条款主要是重要信息丢失，有以上5种情况，比如大家所说的check就是由于专业较敏感，或是材料不全而进行的3~4周的行政审核。

凡是申请过美国非移民签证的申请者都清楚，在DS-156的右上角，有一栏签证官填写的内容:

ISSUED/REFUSED

ON_________BY_______________

Under SEC. 214(b)   221(g)

从这里大家就可以知道，如果当天不能被授予签证，要么是因为214b，移民倾向被拒签；要么就是由于重要信息缺失，221（g)而被check.
