Summer Camp : Visitor Visa : Under 18 : Rejected

[casinovagu]

Hi All,

My cousin as enrolled into USA basketball summer camp starting on Apr 15 . He is national level basketball player in INDIA. VO took his interview like 20 to 30 min and looks satisfied with my cousin answers but at the end She said that you are not eligible for this time sorry . you try next time .

Question : is It good idea to re apply again because his camp is starting from April 15 ?


Please need your input soon.

Thanks,

VO : Why you want to go USA

VO : Can you show any of them
Bro : Showed him certificates and Awards
VO : How did you learn about ...academy
Bro : Knew from national new paper and they tied up with indian company
VO : Who helped you to get admission
Bro : My cousin brother
VO : what he does
Bro : Software enginner
VO : show me your brother address and passport
Bro : hand over

Actually, the fact that you are there in US and you helped him get admission was the reason for denial.They think he will settle down in US with your help.

Reapplying will not change the fact that you are in US and will help him.

But if he can stress on strong family, vocation, money ties to India, he may succeed.

Please post;

*his education and future career plans?
*Is he attending any basketball academy in India?
*his family background; what do his parents do , their income and financial status roughly.
*any siblings?
* any parental property in India?

*his education and future career plans?
11th Just completed . He is too young to decide on career plans.
*Is he attending any basketball academy in India?
yes he attended some camps in india and played at state level , national level, regional level
*his family background; what do his parents do , their income and financial status roughly.
he comes from very good back ground . VO asked about his Europe tour as well . he is going on vacation Europe tour with family. His father has Businees
*any siblings?
Yes he has younger brother
* any parental property in India?
yes a lot

Looking at your answers,
there is nothing new we can stress on about strong ties to India, in the next interview.
The VO seemed to grasp well about his ties and there is nothing really that will compel your cousin to return.

I thought about showing letters from his basketball coaches/ or academy bosses in India about his strong prospects in India, but VO may or may not buy that.
Basketball is more lucrative in US.

She asked to show the the any certificates or camps tournaments attended ..Cousin showed everything but still no luck.

Looks like Visitor visa become very earning field for them . They are keep rejection visa . I mean I never or very rare heard good news about somebody getting visitor visa now days. Why can men forget borders..........God didnt make these borders
