Like I said in my previous threads my mom's visa was rejected under 214(b). She is going again in Jan. I am preganant and am expecting in feb. Do you think it would be wise to mention this during her second visit or just not mention at all. The first time she went she did not mention anything about my preganancy. Anybody with any insight on such a situtation or had similar experience please share with me. Any thoughts, anyboudy?
 
make a good covering letter

Hi,

I would prefer you to not mention about preganancy, instead let her make full documentation. Let her states about all properties and all relations in your home country, if possible keep some photos with all family members.

Make a good cover letter and mention all in that letter. This will surely helps you and your mother.

I had given a brief desc in your last post. Refer it.

I think you should mention pregnancy. That is a valid ground for visit. My wife's mom visited us when wife was pregnant and we clearly mentioned that the purpose of her visit is to help her with her pregnancy. You should also give reasons why she wouldn't stay back like ties with extended family, property posession etc... they just need to be convinced that she will return.
 
As a last desperate move, we are seriously considering mentioning my preganacy. Hope it will not backfire if we decide to go with it. Any more suggestions would be great.

I've heard from too many people that you should NOT mention pregnancy, as they reject the visa then. Tell your mom to show all property/income/financial statements/IT returns etc. If any family members (your dad/siblings/grand parents etc.) are home and not travelling with her, tell her to mention it and why, so that it shows as if she has reason to get back to India. Both my mom and mother in law visited us when our daughter was born and they did not mention pregnancy. Tell your mom to say that she wants to visit you for a few months and to visit the USA for sight seeing and then get back.

Good luck and hopefully she will get a visa!
 
Never mention pregnancy

In MY opinion:

Never mention pregnancy... it will backfire! Pregnancy CANNOT be a reason to issue a VISITOR visa! To take care of pregnancy, there are hospitals, nurses, and other help available professionally.

Finally its upto you, though!

I agree with gchopeful2005 and sk2002sk,

Lot of my friends's parents got denial as the immigration officer in the consulate suggested that the pregnant woman get lot of help from the network infrastructure in USa than in India. And they rejected their visa....on the contrary, try to show that you still have to do lot of travelling in US.... USA gets lot of currency that way....that's the whole purpose of visitor visa to begin with..

I will strongly suggest you NOT to mention your pregnancy. Of course, it is your decision...

Best luck with your pregnancy and visa business.

I still disagree, my wife's mom visited us. We did mention pregnancy, she was asked at the consulate and she was honest about her visit which was pregnancy. My wife's doctor gave us a letter saying that she needed help. There is no reason why someone should not visit their daughter to help her with her pregnancy. There is no help as good or great as one's own mom (no nurse can provide care as much as a mother!). There is nothing that says that your mom can't take care of you when you are pregnant, especially if you have another kid, even though you can put him/her in a day care, if you have a difficult pregnancy, who is going to help at nights? I have friends that have mentioned pregnancy and has worked. It is not about what reason you are visiting, it is about how strong is the chance that you would not stay back. Pregnancy or no pregnancy, they need strong proof that you will return. If they feel that you are not going to return because there are no strong ties back home, saying that you are just going on a visit for sight seeing actually weakens your case, atleast pregnancy has some merit. I am not suggesting that you just say that your mom is visiting to help you with prgenancy, provide proof that she is going to return and she has no reason to stay back. Someone mentioned that $ is what's important, if that was the case eveyone who has money to spend should get a visa and that's not true. As I mentioned, it is all about how well you document your case.

Well, it has worked for me but that doesn't mean it will work for everyone. You should evaluate your options and make an educated decision based on what you feel is right.
 
My pesonal experience has been to write a personal letter to consulate listing all the reasons why your parents would head back. Example List
1. Property
2. Family (Their aged parents, siblings)
3. Income statement, if either of the parents are working; Company leave of absence letter
4. Past travel history (to States), if it does exist
 
This could be very subjective - I wouldn't give/take any advice. Afterall the visa was already denied once.
