The way B-visa applicants’ presentation of self to surveyors and officers in their visa interviews differs from those that are applying for other types of visas-like degree-seeking student visas, cultural exchange visas, and skilled worker visas, which are more frequently converted to immigrant visas. This is due to a provision in the immigration law statute–the dual-intent doctrine–that encourages US visa officers to evaluate immigrant intent more strictly with the former than the latter by not denying nonimmigrant visas to such latter applicants based on the likelihood that they will change their mind about immigrating after they arrive in the United States. Therefore, I show how B nonimmigrant visa (NIVs) applicants answer questions differently than all other nonimmigrant visa applicants about how they first came to go abroad, why they want to visit the United States rather than another country, what questions the visa officer asked them, and why or why not they would immigrate or not into the United States. (Im)mobility capital is not as important to demonstrate for those applying for such high-conversion visas as those with low-conversion visas due to the dual-intent doctrine.
