Hi All...I become US Citizen on 12/2009 and applied for immigrant viza for my parents on 12/2009. The whole process took 10 months and they had the viza interview today. They were both denied for viza. Is this posable?I can not belive this. I have a right to vote and bring my parents under my citizenship benefits statement. This violates my second right to be a US citizen. Have you ever heart of such a thing? Can I take some legal action against the ambassy??
 
Yes, immigrant visas can be denied. What was the reason given? Are you sure it is a denial and not 212(g), which means the consulate is not ready to make their decision yet.

Actually you do not have the right to bring your non-US citizen parents. You are eligible to seek this benefit but that in no way is your right. If the parents do not qualify due to security, health, or any other reason, they need to stay out. As simple as that.

Any Visa can be denied, although to deny a immigrant visa petition approved by USCIS and forwarded for processing to a consular post requires a very solid reason. If it's 221(g) it is a temporary denial and is usually common if the security clearances are the reason for the delay.
 
My father denial was due to the fact that he overstayed on his tourist visa from 1998 to 2000, and my mothers because she presented invalid(or fake document as they call it) to the ambasy when she applied for tourist visa 10 years ago...Is this under 221g act. What does that mean?? What can I do now if anything??
 
It's quite strange, even if your father overstayed his authorized stay and left in 2000 he faces a 10 year bar and that should have been over depending on when he left the US in 2000.
As for your mother a person becomes ineligible to recieve any visa if the person has previously knowingly submitted documents that were deemed fraudulent to obtain a immigration benefit, I am not sure if there is waiver available for her that she can apply to overcome that.
I will leave this to the other Guru's here to provide a solution for you.

Well at least you knew that this was coming.
Reapply for your father again in November of this year and by the time he is up for a interview it will be after Feb 1, 2011, and he should be OK at that time atleast he has a hope to immigrate to US.
Your mother faces a lifetime bar, nothing can be done about her case.

You have identified the problem. She is definitely inadmissible for her presentation of fraudulent documents in the attempt to gain entrance into the US. Your status as a USC has nothing to do with it.

You can do nothing about your mother; there is likely more to your father's case as well.

WRONG WRONG WRONG

Your rights are not being violated. There is not "right" that guarantees that your parents will be admitted to the US even if you had been a native born USC.

Dude,

Bringing your parents to the US isn't a right, a privilege governed by immigration laws. Your mother won't enter the US, unless she catches Osama and brings her to US authorities. Lying to consular officials tend to bring sorrow to people for many years....

How did the consulate determine that fradulent documents were presented at the time of the B-2 visa interview? Was a visa denied then?

Her original B-2 visa was denied when the US consulate found the documentation presented for visa application to be fake. US Consulate usually retain extensive databases of all visa applicants, and she is a victim of trying to pull a fast one on US consular officers before. So, her history caught-up with her.
 
Amazing. One parent violated his B-2 status (another privilege, not a right) and one parent tried to defraud the US State depatment. So when the time came for them to reap what they sowed, you are portraying them as victims??? Amazing, simply amazing!!!
