My Mother's B2 visa interview was today at Mumbai Consulate. She is not good with English so we had her interview in Hindi. She is a government employee earning 20,000 pm. My Father, Brother and sister-in-law all are in India. My father also in a Government service didn't get the leave so she was alone applicant.
The Visa Officer just asked the following questions and said sorry!.
1. Why do you want to go to USA ?
Ans : To visit places and meet my daughter
2. Where do you work ?
Ans : I work in Government ABC School and teach science to middle students.
3. How much you earn ?
Ans : 20K pm
4. For how long you want to visit ?
Ans : about 3 months
5. Are your leave sanctioned ?
Ans : Yes.. she mentioned the dates May - July
6. Why is your husband not accompanying you ?
Ans : He didn't get leave.
Thats it.. she was handed over 214(b) rejection reason letter.
They did not even asked for a single document. She had all documents Bank statements, Property documents, Leave Sanction Letter. Also she had my Bank letter (having sufficient balance to take care of all her trip), Employer letter, invitation letter etc... I am on L1B in USA.
I am stll wondering what went wrong. Regarding ties with India I thought her being in Government Service and my father, brother being in India wll help.
Also on financial terms I thought having property in India and me sponsoring all her visit expenses should be enough....
Pls advice when should I re apply in next 6 weeks ? and with what changes in her situation ?
If my father also applies with her for the visa will it help ?
Any other thing whch I should change now!
Getting a Visa Agent .. will it change anything ?
Also for all 3 people in front of her in the Queue for the interview got B2 refusal.1. Is that the VO was in bad mood and we were unlucky!!... Pls advice
