This right here, I applied two times, first time I just knew the interviewer wont approve my visa when I saw the way he looked at me, I had a feeling I was bothering him, he straight out said no without even checking my papers, he only checked them when I told him I've plenty of "evidence" and supporting documents and he just took a glance, ignoring everything. Second time I got a really nice interviewer but I applied at a out of country consulate (you've to apply to a US consulate from your home country) which I didn't knew at a time, he said he would've approved my application and seemed visibly sad that he couldn't help me. I stopped trying. I've been a co-founder of a US company for more than 10 years, 50+ employees, I never been to US.

> I stopped trying. I've been a co-founder of a US company for more than 10 years, 50+ employees, I never been to US. That's completely unacceptable. You can still look at the bright side (you were allowed to run a company which allowed you to access US wealth, many countries restrict that to their own citizens). I'd advise to socialize within the consulate/embassy. Here, they have lots of events. Try to make friends with the people working there and you'll make a reputation. Don't give up.

  > That's completely unacceptable.

Indeed, that's a positive way to look at it. I'll probably try again soon, now beside the US company I've a company in my own country, along side multiple properties (car/house) that should be undoubtable ties to the country. > I'd advise to socialize within the consulate/embassy.

The embassy where I applied, they don't ask for any papers. It seems the same for the guys in here. So I'll just give it another shot.
