I run a company, employ people: Indian CEO Jasveer Singh complains his US visa was denied because of 'weak ties to India'

Jasveer Singh, an Indian CEO, complained that his US visa was denied, citing weak ties to India, though he runs a company in the country, employs people in India and pay taxes. But all these were not enough to prove that he would return to India after his proposed US visit and won't try to settle there.

"US visa denied under 214(b). Reason - weak ties to India. Irony I run a company in India, employ people in India, pay taxes in India and have built everything here over the last 13 years. Apparently that is not enough proof that I’ll return to India," Singh, the co-founder and CEO of Knot Dating, said.

Singh said his ties to India is more than the embassy's ties to logic. "I’m more committed to India than your process is to logic. Mr @USAmbIndia and team, if this is your bar, either your definition of intent is broken or your evaluation process needs serious review. Train your New Delhi consulate teams better,"The CEO also mentioned that his social media was thoroughly checked and it might be a reason for his visa getting denied because of his past posts. "They check social media too now. A friend said next time just delete your tweets on the US and NRIs before the interview and your visa gets approved," he said.
