Visitor Visa - B2

im so happy to share this info with you....my mother(aged 51 and retired) and father(aged 52 and doctor in private practise) both applied for visitor visa to the US last month and BOTH were refused visa under section 214 b stating that they wont come back since im the only son......the visa officer then didn't see any papers,not even the Affidavit of Support i sent ........

second time we consulted one immigration advisor who suggested us that only my mother should apply the visa second time as she'll able to show one emotional tie back in india(her husband)......taking this in mind,my mother reapplied the visa today and was granted a visa this time........though after an extensive interview during which she was able to convince the visa officer that she'll definitely come back........at the end , the officer said im giving u the visa, didn't specify whether single or multiple entry which we'll come to know shortly when the passport arrives in mail..........

My parents applied for a Vistor's Visa (B2). Since my passport had gone for stamping so my husband sent them the Effidavit of Support(I-134). All the papers were complete and my father had sufficient proof to show his strong ties to India. The Visa officer was convinced that they would return to India but she wanted to see my passport also , which they did not have with them. Their Visa was rejected on this basis under sect. 214(b) saying that they had insufficient funds to support themselves.

My mom arrived on May 3rd at ORD and was given 6 months permit.She was asked how long the stay would be?

Thanx Immihelp...for putting the sample letters well in advance to show at POE. Gr8 job.

Friends,
everyone here plz share ur visiting family POE experainces as soon as MAy 13th.
Wish the law doesnt get passed!!!!

My parents got visitors visa for 1 year. I had send them the exact documents that are mentioned in this site. I'm wondering if it is better if they come before May13th.

My mother-in-law got six months visa at LA airport.

My mom arrived on 04/22 at SFO airport and was given a 6 month I-94. The officer just saw the ticket which had a confirmed date.

My parents were issued 6 month visas (March 26 - sep 26,2002)at Bombay..Finally I am so happy..This issue ended with no problems...we had requested for 6 months and thats what we got. I know some people get 10 yr visas and some are refused even after applying 3 times. God only knows what the criteria is. if u have any q's let me know...

The visa processing at Mumbai has been changed from walk-in application to appointment based one. US embassy Mumbai has been updated just today... Thanks,Rohit
