Father's visit-visa rejected: when to re-apply?

Marker

Registered Users (C)
My father's application to the vist visa got rejected in August'07. I am wondering when is it safe to re-apply for the visa.

Though he had 5 year multiple visa before, which got expired last year. He traveled to US twice and returned back from US within 3 months.

The visa officer rejected the visa on the ground that he will not return back from US. However, that's not the case, he just wants to attend my graduation ceremony in May'08.

How can we convince the visa-officer that his/her assumption is wrong and the only reason for the visit is to attend the graduation ceremony.

Documents that were attached to application :

. Visa application
. Affidavit of support
. My bank statement
. My Employment verification letter
. My university letter
. My letter to the consulate general.


Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks.
 
To re-apply after a rejection, there is no set time window that first needs to expire. What needs to happen is a change in the applicant's circumstances that will help him/her overcome 214(b).
