Hi Peter, I’m 4th generation of (South) Korean Japanese who traveled to North Korea in 2018. My application for B-2 visa was filed last August and after “administrative processing” status, it turned out to be “refused” last week. While I intended to use ESTA in the beginning, I was forced to switch to B-2 visa following Trump’s decision to disqualify ESTA for those who have traveled to North Korea since 2011. Since my job requires me to interact with our clients based in the US, losing the ability to see them would put me in a horrible position. I have contacted the embassy multiple times to ask if there were any additional documents to submit, but I was only told to wait for an update online. What do you think I can do to continue the appeals process? Is there a trend where those who have been to North Korea are all rejected?
