GC for mother

Not to defend the consuls, but they have no choice. By law consuls have to assume that parents seeking visit visas are immigrants until proven otherwise.

The problem is when the information to "prove otherwise" has been presented to them, but they still continue to ignore it.

However, in this case it sounds like atltodallas's mother does not have enough of her own finances to support herself during her travels in the US nor even day-to-day living in India, so they would be right to deny her a tourist visa.

recently my parents property was split between my brother and sister. we still have land on my mothers name. my mother never worked. she was house wife all her life. it was my dad use to take care of business. my brother & sister income is more than what i earn here. money is not the problem. it is just emotional feeling that i want to take care of my mother. i want to tell you some thing. India is no different than other european countries. salaries in india are better than US salaries.

I guess USCIS still follow some 20 years back rules. world has changed a lot.
why do USCIS need sponsor in US for south asia visitors. my mom can bring $50,000 american dollars after conversion
to US to support herself for 6 months. I think where ever US tourists visit, we don't have visa restrictions.
I think it is tourism which drives USCIS laws.
 
Says who? My parents, siblings and I never needed any sponsors to acquire US visit visas when we needed them. We only held Pakistani passports (then) and never needed any invitation letters, I-134s, etc, to get our visit visas.
Certain nationalities always need a sponsor = Myth

The statutory requirements for a B visa are a passport, the DS-156 and the fee. If there are issues with people overstaying or immigrating after entering on a B, then local consular officers are free to add their own requirements in order for someone to overcome 214b.

I don't think we have anything like this for India. indian citizens need invitation/sponsor or it should be business purpose with proof documents.
 
It is an interesting question. So far, the assumption seems to be that "indian citizens specially parents etc. need invitation/sponsor" when visiting US for personal reasons (no business/work reason).

Have folks in this forum seen otherwise?

You lose your credibility when you spout nonsense like that. In India and most of the other countries in the world, salaries are significantly lower than equivalent jobs in the US and Europe.

i am not talking nonsense. india is changing. prices have gone up. real estate , salaries everthing gone up. Major Cities having world best airports.
my colleague who had to goto india after 6 years of H1 visa earns 20 lakhs rupees per anum. that is equal to $50,000.
i make little bit more than him in dollars. but when it comes to saving after taxes, he saves more than me.
our job duties are exactly same. i am comparing India with other countries who enjoy visa free entry.
what i mean to say is India is like any other developing european country. there are more rich people in india too.
per capita income is increasing. please come out of that third world assumption

You are talking about one tiny segment of the Indian population. Surely you know that most people in India don't have incomes that come close to that.
 
ok jack. i gues rich , poor , middle class is same in every country. india is no different. when an unemployee, poor man can come from dubai, singapore, germany with a visa free entry, same rule should be applied to india too. there is more security risk in people visiting from dubai than india.

Why do Indians always say that "In India this and that"...You are in U.S of A, if you really care about what you "could" make, then you should go back?

I am sorry but every Indian I speak to speaks the same language as you that "It has gotten better", however none of those ppl pick up their bags and leave because "its gotten better".

As regarding visa-waiver, the percentage of poor class indians is greater than higher-middle class so they can't make it visa waiver.

BTW I am not from India but my wife is.

And you are saying that dubai citizens have more security risk? Are you saying because they are off different religion?thats why?

Don't think that plenty of folks don't get turned back at the POE if they cannot satisfy the CBP officers there. I see it happen all the time in Toronto, where almost no one requires a visa.

i guess you did nor read all my posts. so please stop assuming . don't make personal comments. i have personal reasons to choose US.

Dubai is not in VWP...?
 
Does anyone know how long it takes to process an I-130 ? I live in north carolina, I have to mail it to Chicago anyway, but there is no processing time available on USCIS website for either Texas Center or Chicago Lockbox.

People said it takes 6 months to get approved. Is that true ?

Can anyone help please. Thanks
