My parents got visa at Chennai- 2nd attempt

[prinsand]

Hi All
I am very happy to let you know that my parents got visa at Chennai today 21st. I do not know the further details. Just now my father called and told me that they got visa for 6 months. This was their 2nd attempt(Malayalam interview). Their visa was rejected in Jan 21st 2006 under 214(b). Last time I sponsored them . This time my husband sponsored them(I am not working now ). I am very happy now. My parents will reach home tomorrow evening and I will ask the questions during interview and post it.

Thanks to all of you in this forum
