SILs Visa Rejection

[BJS]

My husband is a H1B holder who has been in US for almost 5 years now.

My in-laws and sis-in-law had their appointment on October 24th 2005 at 11:30am at chennai. THough they reached the consulate by 10:00am there was a very long queue and they got into the consulate around 12:30pm. Both my In-laws are retired and my SIL is a medical student. At the interview (the consulate officer was a lady wearing a partha not a white) , it seems she was rude and impatient. She didn't ask much to my in-laws....my father-in-law was asked if he has any property and to show the papers..while he was taking the paper out of his file to give her..she became impatient and fired at him saying how come he doesn't know what property he owns, My mother-in-law was just asked if she was a college proffesor, for which she answered yes. My SIL was asked
1) How long has your brother been in us?
5 years
2) Do you have any other siblings?
No
3) Why are you going now?
I have vacation now (she also handed our a letter from her college stating she has vacation now before her new year starts.

The Consulate officer took the letter, read it,gave it back said thank you and said it is rejected for you and when my Father-in-law was about to say that she only has vacation now...before he could say anything she just said "DON'T ARGUE WITH ME" and left she didn't give my in-laws the token so they could pay their DD. Then luckly a white officer came out and my FIL told him they had not received the token, he gave them the token and they paid up and my SIL got the rejection letter with 214(b).

I still don't see a logical explanation for her visa rejection...she is studying there and had a letter from herin India (she had completed 4 years) and stay in US. If any one can think of any "acceptable reason" for her rejection pls let me know.

We are still waiting for my in-laws passport to find out for how long they have their visa...we were planning on bringing them immediately so my SIL doesn't lose any class but now they can't come as my SILs was rejected and she cannot stay back home alone.

Thanks for sharing your experience.
Some times we don't know what was wrong with our documents.
Chances of getting visa for your SIL is very low. She is almost at end of her MBBS study. You should be happy your in-laws got their visa.
Some Officers are so rude, it is very pain process for our parents to go through this.

Is your in-laws property papers are notarized or CA cerified or just zerox copies?

Does your in-law showed affidavit about property?

Good luck.

Thank you for the reply v2cdiskk.

My SIL is still doing her MBBS though final year...who in their right sense would abandon 4 years of study and come to US and start all over..I mean who would waste 4 years of hardwork.

>Is your in-laws property papers are notarized or CA cerified or just zerox >copies?
They had CA certified and Notarized.

>Does your in-law showed affidavit about property?
Yes, they did.

This same lady (Consulate officer) it seems rejected 5 people who went in front of my in laws. There was thing 1 lady who was planning on visiting her husband in US and she was rejected on the basis that she doesn't have enough bank balance

Thanks for your clarifications.

So what is your next action?

Are you planning to get next appointment for your SIL?

Good luck.

No, she is on her vacation now, a new appointment will take a 3 to 4 month wait period and by then her classes would have started and we don't want her to miss out on her class to come to US even if she gets a visa...so no more trials and as for my in laws since my SIL is back home, they can't just leave her there and come so the whole thing is off and we were so looking forward to seeing them as we can't go visit them any time soon
