My mom's visa got rejected yesterday and needless to say we are so unhappy. I sent an invitation letter and all the other documents . She is a widow and my 2 brothers live in India. One is married and the other is still studying (he is 19 years old). I am her only daughter and married. I work here and have a green card. they asked her questions like

How many children do you have?
Who will pay for your expenses?
What do your sons do?
What does your daughter do in US etc.

She was using a hindi translater. He went in spoke to the counsler for a long time and came back and said they cannot give her a visa. The section is 214(b). I really do not know where to go from here? what are the chances of her getting a visa if she goes again. Please reply.
 
if she goes again, she will get it.

send her again she will get it. you also need to send a fat bank statement ( i mean a statement from your bank in which you have a big deposit ). Also ask your mother to say that you will bear all the expenses (food, travel frim india and back, local travel, medical and other expenses). She also should say that she is visiting you becuase she has not seen you for the last many years. this way she has a better chance of getting a visa. being a widow is not a problem at all. im the only son, my mom is a widow and still got a 10 yrs visa recently. so good luck next time.
 
Is there something different my mom should do when she goes again? Is there something that i need to do?
 
gcpain1,

i am pretty sure u scoured this forum and other sites like path2usa.com and immihelp.com to prepare the docs u sent your Mother. so i dont know what more can be done other than reading the officer's mind. it can be very frustrating and the short answer is to try again like rafiq123abc also suggested.

also looking over ur case details, it seems that one of the conclusions that the officer may have arrived at is 'you' are the most financially stable person. You are in the US on a GC and whether u like it or not, an assumption has been made that u will support your mother and want her to immigrate to US. what i am suggesting is maybe a letter from ur brother or a mention (without being asked) from your mother's part that her 'married son' living in India wants her back and establish a close tie in India for her and that she has to come back.

there are no guranteed answers and u never know what may click...so just keep on trying and pray u get urs completed:)
 
Praytx has better suggestion.

I think praytx has better suggestion.

In my opinion she was denied visa because she produced documents from her daughter. What else the visa office will think if she produced not other ties and reasons that she will return back to India ?

She should produce the documents from your brother and should state that your brother will bear all the expenses of travel and you will provide her accommodation and food. She should prove that she is living happily with her both sons and her sons want her to go and meet you for short period of about 1 month.

I hope that will convince the consular
