My parents went for their visitor visa yesterday to the Mumbai consulate and they got rejected. Some background: My husband is sponsorer, my brother is also here as a Student, my father has retired and is now working as a consultant in the same company and my mother is a housewife.
These were the questions asked to my father, no questions asked to my mother:
Officer: Are u going for the first time to US
Reply:yes.
Officer: where are you working
Reply: so-and-so company.
Officer: what do they manufacture
Reply: so-and-so
Officer: what does your daughter do
Reply: she is a home maker.
Offier: what does your son-in-law do
Reply: he works as a xxxx with xxxx.
Officer: show me the affadavit of support
my father showed the paper to him
Officer: who else is there in US
reply: My son and he is studying
Officer: which univeristy?
Reply: xxxx in xxxx
Officer: do you have only two children?
reply: yes
After that the officer told him that there is no positive reason for returning back to India. My father told him that he has an affidavit showing his interest in coming back with property, income and other bank balances.
But he told this does not prove for him to on positive thinking that they will return to India.
My father also told him that he am working with a firm and he has to return back but this did not convince him.
Finally my father asked what can do further.
He replied that he can reapply for visa.
we had prepared all documents based on immihelp.com and my father has his letter of employment, property papers, affidavit, our letters addressed to the consulate, invitation letters and everything.
My questions are:
1.what do we do next?
2.how soon can they re-apply?
3.what additional evidence can be shown to confirm their return? should my parents apply seperately, in which case my mother can apply first and say that she has to return since her husband is here.
4. does a senators letter help? or does knowing anybody in the Mumbai consulate or the VFS office help?
we are expecting a baby in the first week of September and I would really like them to be here at that time. Is it too soon to reapply and are the chances of getting it lesser if you reapply so soon?
Please help. any advice, tips or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
