Hi All,
My mother is a widow , but she has sufficient agricultural land that belonged to my Dad.
She also manages the agricultural land that my grandparents wrote for us - i.e. their granddaughters.
My mother also owns an apartment in Chennai
My mother has 4 daughters. At the time of the interview, only I the eldest was married.
Now another sister of mine is also married.
My mother went for her first interview at Chennai with my youngest sister and they got rejected.
In the interview, when she was asked about how much land she has – she mentioned the total amount of land that she was managing ( i.e. both hers and ours together ). She said our whole family has this much and I am managing it.
The officer was shocked – like she didn’t believe her.
– She offered to show the documents – but the officer was not interested.
Also, she had a translator , who always closed the mike and spoke to officer – so my mother could not hear what was being translated.
She knows English pretty well - but we took a translator just for her to be more comfortable.
We tried again- this time only for my mother , after 2 months in Hyderabad and she got rejected again.
This time she even told the officer – how many acres she owns as a share in the family property. She told both the amounts i.e. total family and her share to be consistent with her previous interview..
Rejected again.
When she asked why – my mother did not understand completely what the consular officer said – but she understood that he kept referring to ‘Chennai’.
Any ideas on what the officer could have meant?
We are planning to apply for her again.
My question is : how can there be no strong ties when she has property and at the time 3 unmarried daughters.
If this is not strong ties, what is?
1) What documents can I produce to show that she has agricultural property?
2) Where can I get the templates from these documents?
3) Which officer/ s should sign and seal these documents?
4) Should she mention the whole family property amount that she is managing – I’m asking this because she had mentioned it in her previous interviews, and I don’t know if omitting it would work against her.
Or should she just say that she is managing her daughter’s property as well and leave it at that?
5) I read somewhere that Agricultural Land Valuation document and J form can be submitted – can anyone tell me where I can get these?
6) In the DS-160 – can anyone suggest what she should put as her occupation and how should we describe her duties?
7) What documents does she need to provide for her apartment in Chennai?
8) Last time my husband sponsored her – did this work against her ?
9) She will state that she is funding her own travel this time –to show financial stability. is this a good idea? How should she support it?
10) Finally – would you recommend that she attends her interview in Chennai or Hyderabad? ( She resides in Andhra Pradesh – but both locations are convenient for her )
11) In your opinion – does a senator’s letter help?
Thanking you all in advance for your help.
