  • Please help!Need assistance with Sister's b2 visit. Port of entry issue.

    Dear Sir/Ma'm

    My sister has valid 5 years B1/B2 multiple entry US VISA.She came to US 2 years ago on my wedding and left after spending 3 months.
    She applied for F1 visa in fall 2011 which did not get approved but her B1/B2 visa did not get cancelled. Now, she wants to come to US in Nov to visit my family and I. Is it a possibility that she can be denied port of entry on the basis that she may be entering US with another intent e.g studies in Spring 2012.

    Can you please help? Thanks!!

    Thanks!!

    She should be fine to visit. I don't see an issue as the B1 was not cancelled. F1 was likely rejected for other reasons.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

      Need help with sister's B1 Visa, port of entry issue

      Thanks much for the quick response. She already had her MBA in finance and wanted to come here for Masters in Engineering Mgmt in Fall 2011 but embassy rejected her visa in July saying that she already has Masters and they don't see any need for another masters. They also said that the university she was going to, is not a very good university. To summarize, she didn't appear to be a sincere student to the official.
      We have already cancelled her admission at the university and now we just want her to come and visit the family here. I am her real brother setelled in US and due to my commitments here, it is not possible for me to visit India. We havn't met for almost 2 years and therefore, planned to have her and my mother come here, visit us and travel a bit of US.This is sole purpose of her visit. I am not sure if these reasons would be good enough to convince the officer. I mean this is the reality, not sure if we need to say something else to officer. Please advise if it is safe to come on B1/B2 visa or there are chances of deportation.

      Also, we were planning to visit Disney Land in Orlando. Do you think it will be preferable to have my family (mother and sister) come to Orlando first which is a famous tourist spot and then to my home in Wisconsin. Any guidance and suggestions will be much appericiated. Thanks again for all of your time!!!
