Parents visa rejected, my in-laws should go for visa stamping before/after retire(Mar

[panacea6565]

Thank you experts with all the support you give over the forum


2 week back my parents visitor visa is rejected and they got 214(b)[but don't know the exact reason)] but our random guesses
# officer was not in good mood
# he found my parents income(who own/run a sanitary retail store{business} since last 2 year and before this my dad used to own/run Retail consumer[kirana] store and my mom was English teacher in couple of schools and their income is 40,000 and I mentioned in their individual DS 160 form as 20,000 - of mom and dad separately) on a lower side [I mentioned my self as sponsor for their trip]
# I(in US on H1B since 1.7 yrs) visited India 5-6 months back (the reason they told to visit USA is to meet me[married with 4+ yr kid] and to tour some places like CA)

to show stronger ties with india,
#they have lot of property(which officer never asked for)
#[this was asked in the interview] has younger son(my bro) who is preparing for civil services as of now
I have shared all the documents, and they have all the documents like property papers with them, though office never shown intention to see any of them (excecpt my passport and visa copy which they shown him)

I will try to apply for them again after 6+ months, please share your inputs on the above

Apart from this, I need your help/opinion on visitor visa for my Parents-in-law(PIL)
My PIL want to visit us and tour few places like NYC/CA. My FIL is going to retire in last week of Mar'17 from govt bank (but has no govt restrictions to go out of country to tour USA/etc)
Should he(and my MIL{housewife}) apply and go for visa stamping now or after retirement (which one is more favorable to get visitor visa)
PIL are at par(11lpa, have own house, son married and earning good in India IT) to sponsor their trip, but then also I am thinking to sponsor their trip

Note: PIL are planning to visit us in June/July'17
Note: I or my parents/PIL dont have any intention of being immigrant of USA and will sure return back to India being within non-immigrant visa laws

The main factor is their income is low as shown on DS-160. Even if you are bearing the travel expenses they can stay in US for 6 months work a hourly cash job and end up making much more (in Rupee terms) than their current income in India. Who would'nt want a job where you work only for 6 months a year and make much more than what he currently makes? I am not saying your parents will do that but that is how a VO looks at it. Potential for misuse of tourist visa for financial gains. Property does not matter how ever much you got, it is always disposable or they can still keep the property and come to US every year for 6 months and make money.

I think for your in-laws it will be easier to get the visa. Applying before retirement is better because your F-I-L will have to return to his job which is a very strong tie.

3 mnths left in retirement of my FIL and my H1b transfer will be completed hopefully

Thank you rcmax for your inputs for throwing light on the potential reason for rejection of my parents visa.

I have couple of more questions on my F-I-L case
1) Suppose if P-I-L apply now, and if I sponsor their trip - it will take around a week to fill DS160 form and collect all other documents, and they might get visa appointment(Delhi consulate) - say earliest by 28th Jan (I will be serving Notice period[2 weeks] for my current employer CE, as H1B transfer will be filled for me tomorrow by new employer NE and hopefully gets approved by 16th Jan).
a)Hope this is not a problem
b) what they have to say - if officer asks where your S-I-L works ? CE or NE
c) Paystubs I will be sending will be from CE, but H1b in the systems will be of NE (though I understand my CE H1b will also be valid till expiry/or CE revokes)

2) My F-I-L is going to retire on 31st March 2017, CAN Officer asks up-to what time you will be employed? because if asked and FIL tells correct date, then again it might be case of concern for Officer, correct ?

Thank you in advance
