On his travel website, the US travel authority explained that the US government set out several standards that can warrant a visa application to be denied.
It was also explained that most of the visa applicants who were rejected by the US were notified of the section of the law that applied to their rejection. Also, the consular officer advised the visa applicants on the chances of them applying for a waiver of their ineligibility. Most of the common reasons for US visa ineligibility are explained in the American Immigration and Nationality Act. Thus, visa applicants are advised to read and digest all the rules before applying.
According to the US government, four reasons can warrant a visa denial are listed below:

Category of application
The US government also emphasised the importance of the visa category that an applicant was applying for.

Applicant's past or current record
Another determining factor in why an immigrant could be denied a visa is his or her past or current actions.
According to the US authority, these could be drug or criminal activities. All these could cause an applicant be denied a visa.
