  • pushing the barrier--b2 visa

    hello..

    My mom and sister are planning to apply for visit visa(b2) to attend cousins marriage.Another strong reason for the visit is the poor condition of my maternal grandmother and the recent surgeries she had and with her age being in 80`s makes it difficult for her to travel, so basically its the only chance my mom will have to see her. my mom is a homemaker while my sister has a good job.

    about the marriage: the ceremony is that of my mothers-sister daughter and it is the first marriage in our family in u.s.( going to b a hell ov a party) my moms sister has urged my mom to attend and take her chance by applying for visa. she has even filled a VERY strong letter of support to finance the entire trip. my moms other siblings and relatives are in u.s as well.

    my father, me and my brothers are not applying.so my mom and sister are bound to come back...

    there is this hurdle that my mom`s sister has applied for immigrant visa for my mom(f4) but in the light of the slow visa bulletin her case still has at least 5-6 years.

    our financial condition here is good.

    Now can you tell me what are the chances for getting a visa or is it a lost cause? is there some policy of not issuing visa to people with ongoing immigration procedures? what are the issue which can harm their chances? do you have any past records of such scenarios?what are the question they will come across? what document should they carry?

    need your help.thank you

    ^^^^^ that is the past..both got visa

    now the case is that of my father, my aunt and her husband are forcing my dad to apply as well and take a chance and they are very insistent that they will host him like my dad hosted them 2 years back when they came to india for a wedding...now here are my queries:

    1, they are sending a letter of support for him as well similar to my moms and besides ticket almost all the expenses accommodation, food etc will be managed by the host as it is our tradition, now what should i mentioned in the section WHO IS PAYING FOr the trip:...??.. my dads salary varies b/w 150-200k

    2, in the section PErsons Traveling with you:.. should he mention that his wife and daughter are also going or not... telling about wife n child might suggest that the family`s intention are not good even though me and my bother are not going nor plan to, plus my father has a business which is 30-35 yrs old and he is in no mood to permanently abandon it, plus he as few property assets as well...so looking at the situation what should he mention?

    3, he is in his mid-fifties, can it be of any significance?

    4, his brother also is a us permanent resident.

    looking for your valuable advices again..thanks

    Well he cannot lie about wife and sister because they have already secured visas for the same ceremony.
    The embassy/consulate can easily cross check.

    Another thing is , they must have asked your mother and sister why your dad is not going?
    What was their reply to that?
    If they said he is not going , and now he applies , the embassy will think you guys are tricking them by applying separately.
    They have the salient features of each interview on computer record.

    That will put your mother and sis's visa in jeopardy as well.

    Not advisable.

      well they only asked my mom about his business (briefly, how long, whats nature of business,salary etc?), plus kids and their education, about my aunt and what she does in America...nothing about the reason why he(my father) is not going..... ok i will mention about them in his application form.

      what do you mean by not advisable? plus what are the chances?any such historical records? thank you.

        By " Not advisable " I meant he should not apply if your mother admitted to the officer that he is not going for some reason.

        If she did not say any such thing then sure, go ahead and let him apply;

        *Should mention about your mom and sis going.
        *Must tell the officer he made up his mind later to go for the wedding.
        Because he will surely be asked why he did not apply with his wife and daughter.
        *Ask for a short stay 2-3 weeks ( he has to take care of his business in India). Irrespective of how long your mom and sis are staying.

        Chances--- all depends on the officer . The best way is to be totally honest.
        Good luck.

            one problem which i encountered while filing the form that, you said to mention persons traveling with you but the problem is that my mom and sis would be leaving 10 days earlier 1 may while father plans for 10 may due to business but they will return together...now will they be counted a group??..or should i simple shuffle my dads dates so that he goes with them and comes back alone before them...?? requesting your humble opinion
