In 2018, I and my family of 3 were denied a tourist?
The old passport excuse does not add up at all, as you are not required to bring any old expired passports so I dont think your giving us all the correct information here. The authorities can check where you have traveled and all the US authorities are concerned about is what you do in the USA in other words your intent most common grounds for denied visas is failing to prove strong home ties, (214b) you must prove non - immigrant intent if you are applying for a non - immigration visa, other reasons for a denial is not providing enough information 221 g or being inadmissible for a prior immigration violation in the US.
