H1B rejected due to home ownership

My friend’s visa got rejected in Mumbai - they said you are trying to be permanent there. You have H1B which is meant to be temporary work permit and you have bought house and trying to settle there. 😲

It’s not supposed to be. It is. You can literally be weeks away from actually get the physical green card and be able to apply for visa stamp.

That's weird. H1b is a dual intent visa, what they said shouldn't be grounds for denial

I’m sure he is already in denial.

*shouldn't. Typo ;)

This does not seem correct at all. According to the law, you can own a property in United States on H1-B. Where does it say that you can rent only?

There is actually no law that prevent/require a specific status to own a house. You could be a B1 visitor and still buy/own/rent a house.

My wife purchased a home while she was here on H1-B. It’s totally possible.

Either the consulate officer wasn’t following the law or your friend is hiding something. It is extremely rare to reject an H1B visa

Yup. Was about to say this. His friend is hiding something.

Anyone is allowed to buy a home here - might not be worth the risk though- excuse does not sound legit. Friend might have something else.

Or OP wants to keep the market for himself by spreading rumors. 😂

Your friend is lying and not telling you the real reason

The real reason: fake diploma 🐕💩📜
