Senator letter from the U.S.

[ravi190372]

Can anyone tell me how to approach the local Senator's office and get a letter from him. My parents Visa was rejected under 214(b) in February this year from Calcutta. They had all their papers in place and answered every question correctly but were refused for no reason what so ever.

Thanks
Ravi

Do not waste your time with this. By law,no one has a right to a visitor visa,
it is only granted as a privilege at the consular's discretion over which a senator won't have any influence. In fact a senator's letter may create an undue bias against any future applications by your parents.

If you read this forum, your parents' case is like hundreds of others who
have been refused like this.And many have been granted visas on subsequent attempts after carefully overcoming the reason for the refusal.You should reexamine all the Qs and As of
your parents' interview and if possible, try to correct the reason in the next attempt. Everyone cries foul about consulars not looking
at the documents; the US embassy website advises that
a person's situation is more important than any documents.
