Help Please!! Mother's/Sister's Visa rejected 2nd time
Help Please!! Mother's/Sister's Visa rejected 2nd time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m on H4 and my husband on H1. My husband sent sponsorship papers for my mother and sister. My mother and sister (14 years) re-applied for visa for the 2nd time. My mother is a widow and a home-maker so does not have any monthly income coming in except property, savings etc. Their first time was rejected (in April 2005) because my mother didn't have all the property papers. The officer told her she doesn't have enough income so they cannot grant her visa.
This time (Sep 2005) she had all the papers with her such as:
v Property papers
v Tax papers
v Savings proofs
v Bank statements
v Invitation letters
v Letter from my sister’s school
v Letter from my brother's college who is still studying in Delhi
v All other documentation needed from our end.
This time when she went in, the officer asked her how long does she want to go for? My mother said 4-6 weeks. She said last time you had written 3-4 months, how come you had decreased the time so much. My mother replied, last time it was my sister’s summer holidays plus some extra ones she would’ve taken. Whereas this time they want to come when its dussera holidays and take a few more. That’s why less number of days this time. Then she asked a couple of regular questions like who stays in US? What does your son-in-law do? To which my mother replied honestly. The officer then without even touching the file or giving the papers a single look said she couldn’t grant visa, as my mother does not have enough income. My mother appealed that she should at least check the papers since she had got all the documents now. The officer refused to listen or see the file even once. Without looking at them she refused the visa again.
We all are very disappointed and don’t know what to do now. Since my mother’s position will never change more than this. She will not start working all of a sudden just to show stead income. Besides, she has enough savings etc to support her and both my brother & sister. Please advice something. Is there any other way out? Will she never be able to come see us? Please help!
