Good afternoon. I need all the advice I can get as I am getting desperate.
Here is my story: I came to USA from Ukraine on j1 Visa (was doing my internship with a company for a year) in 2014. As things were getting messier in Ukraine (I'm from the south) I had to apply for asylum and my application was accepted I was in a status of asylum applicant for a while. I got my work authorization and legally worked. Meanwhile I met my future husband (us citizen) and we got married in 2016. My dad tried to get a Visa to come to the wedding, but got denied as the interviewer said there is no chance while I'm in asylum applicant status, but it will all change as I get my green card.
Our daughter was born in 2017 and the same year I got my green card (I was never granted asylum, my case never moved). All three of us went to Ukraine to visit my family and while we were there my father tried to get his Visa again. It got denied with no explanation what so ever, they barely even looked at the documents. The similar experience had my mom couple of days ago - Visa was denied (we invited her to come for 2 months for the birth of our second baby). Everytime we prepare the application, my husband is their sponsor (all expenses on us, provide employer letter, bank statements, our marriage certificate, letter from obgyn). My parents are retired, happily married, owned their own house, vehicle, another piece of property, they have no intention staying in the states. Is there anything we can do differently to get their visas approved? Or is my former asylum applicant status will chase me forever (or at least till I get my citizenship) with no chance for my parents to come visit?
Thank you for your time, I appreciate any help I can get.
