Indian Man Claims US Visa Denied in 40 Seconds for Being Honest

An Indian man has expressed his anguish on social media after being denied a United States visa, allegedly due to his honesty during the visa interview. He stated that he simply told the truth, which he now believes may have led to the swift rejection of his application. According to his account, the entire process—from answering the consular officer’s question to being informed of the denial—lasted only 40 seconds.

As per the details shared in his social media post, the young Indian applicant had recently attended a visa interview at a U.S. consulate. When asked a question by the consular officer, he responded truthfully. He claimed that upon hearing his honest answer, the officer immediately rejected the visa application without any further questions or detailed inquiry. The man expressed deep surprise and disappointment over the rejection, especially since he had answered sincerely.

He remarked that perhaps his honesty worked against him, but he did not elaborate on the specific type of visa he had applied for, the question posed by the officer, or the response he had given. The lack of these details has not stopped the post from going viral on social media, where it has sparked widespread discussion about the U.S. visa process and the discretion exercised by consular officers during interviews.

Some users on social media extended their support to the man, while others suggested that there might have been other underlying reasons for the rejection. As of now, there has been no official response from the U.S. embassy regarding the incident.
