Is it possible for a J2 visa to be denied?

When family members apply for J-2 visas, the US Embassy/Consulate will determine whether the family has sufficient funds to cover living expenses in the US. If a consular officer has reason to believe that a prospective J-2 dependent has previously intended to work in the United States to provide financial support, the J-2 visa may be denied.
