Visa stamping options to travel to Europe after US green card

[dhirendra_sh]

Hi,

I am a recent US PR. My mother's US Visitor visa was rejected FOUR times.I am planning to go to India for vacation. I was thinking to take my mother on Euorpe tour. Thomas Cook in India have some Europe tour package for the individuals and family.

Below are the two options from visa perspective that i am thinking :

Option 1 : Get my wife and mine visa stamped here in the US [Europe tour will need three visas : UK, Schenegen & Swiss ] . My son who holds a US passport might not need any visa.

When i go to India , get my mother's visas stamped in India. My mother's passport does not have any developed country visa stamped.She has one Thailand visa stamped. I don't know whether they will issue visa to my mother alonen OR should we submit our stamped passport with mother's visa application.


Option 2 : Get all our visas stamped in India by showing US Employment, tax returns, bank statement and green card.


Note : Currently, green card is not stamped on our (mine and my wife's) passports.

Please suggest, in your experience in dealing with European visas, which option should i choose .

Thanks everyone in advance !
