  • Visitor visa extension rejected for in-laws

    My in-laws (68 yrs and 65 yrs old) applied for extension in Hyderebad and it got rejected. They have come to US 7 times in last 10 years. They applied for extension twice (once in 2005 and stayed for 20 additional days). 2nd time was in 2008 and stayed for 5 additional months. They had got proper extension paper work done on both times.
    The consulate rejected and told that they violated by staying for almost a year. Even though he showed the extension papers, they did not see it or listen to what he was saying.
    My father-in-laws mom is 80+ and still alive. He did mention that and showed paper work of house property etc but none was seen.
    What do we do now? Can he apply again? If yes, do we need to have additional information.
    Should I try reaching out to the local consular/senator? Please advise.

    The problem is that they have visited too many times and stayed for too long. A true visitor would not do that.

    Therefore, let some time pass (few years) and try again.

      visa extension rejected for in-laws

      Thanks for your quick response. Just confirmed that they have travelled only 5 times in 10 years.
      We are thinking of applying for Green card Consular processing. Will there be any issues since the vsia got rejected?

        If they stayed for a long time every time and/or applied for extensions, that may be too much in 10 years.

        No, visitors visa rejection is not a problem in green card processing.

          Re applying for visa

          Thanks so much for your response.
          We are thinking of trying one more time for visa renewal. If it gets rejected again then we'll apply for their GC. Their visa was rejected last time at Hyderabad. Will going to Chennai consulate help or it doesnt make any difference. Please confirm. Also, if they go to Chennai do they need to justify why they are going to different place?

            "Shopping around" does not help as they have centralized records.
