Dear Sir,
Me and my wife were interviewed today by an officer. Rejected under 214B. The below questions were asked:
a)How long i have been in Saudi( for both)
- Since birth
b)What is my work
-Claims Evaluation Supervisor
c)Places visited by us
-India, Dubai
d)Family in US( both)
-My Sister
-My wife's Aunt( mother of the groom)
e) Are they citizens
-My Sister -No. Green Card.
-My wife's Aunt .Yes.
f)My Salary
XX,ZZZ
g) How many Children?
-One son
A few questions were asked as mentioned above, however the purpose of our trip was not asked for , and it was a genuine reason, as mentioned in the attached wedding invite.
No time during the interview did the officer inquire about our strong ties, nor any documents to prove the same.
Apart from personal invitation letter from the groom, the following documents were available with me.
-Wedding Invite
-Employment verification letter
-Bank Statements for last 7 months
-Pay Slips for last 3 months
-Credit Card Statements for last 3 months
-Hotel Booking Confirmation
-Trip Plan
-Flights Plan
-Family Tree indicating that my parents and brother's family are in Saudi Arabia. Also, my sister who is in US( married to my cousin who is a US citizen) would be in Jeddah at the time of my visit.
-Flight tickets confirmation for my sister and her children was also available, confirming that they would be in Jeddah.
-Proof that my parents are in Saudi Arabia & process underway for them to be transferred under my sponsorship.
My wife is especially disheartened as she really wanted to be part of the wedding celebrations. Though we would like to apply again, we are really skeptical , since this happen again in the next interview as well. Especially since all the above question/documents were not even requested, to rule out the immigration aspect.
If you feel we made a mistake somewhere, appreciate if you could mention that. Otherwise , we have a feeling that even though our application was genuine, we will always be rejected as we have relatives in US. We have no intention of staying in US as we have a broad family here in Jeddah, and I have a stable, satisfying job & my parents are dependent on me.
