Hi,
My mother lives alone in India.She recently retired from state govt job as school teacher.
Both my brother and I have been working in the US for 8 years now. I am a recent permanent resident. My brother has an EAD.
My mother's tourist visa was rejected FOUR times as follows.
Dec, 2000 Visitor visa rejected under Section 214 (b).
Jun, 2001 Visitor visa rejected under Section 214 (b).
Sept, 2003 Visitor visa rejected under Section 214 (b). (TWO times )
In 2004, i took my mother to Thailand to build some sort of travel history.
In 2005, i paid a good fees to an immigration attorney and have him contact US Consulate in Delhi through state department. I was told that consulate said, we cannot give her visa.Ask her sons to come back to India.
In 2007, my wife had a brain surgery and my own brain MRI came abnormal.I wrote to the FIRST LADY that my mother wants to visit us for ONE month as we are not well.
State department responded back by saying the following:
- The refusal of a visitor visa under INA 214 (b) does not mean that Ms.XXXX is permanently ineligible for a visa.She may reapply for a visa at any time, however, we recommend that individuals who wish to reapply do so only if they can present new or more compelling evidencr to overcome the prvious rgrounds of refusal.We ssure you that any future visa application submitted by Ms.XXX will be given every possible consideration consistent with U.S Immigration Law.
We are hesitating to try the visa again because of fear of fifth rejection.
I know Permanent Resident cannot sponsor parents green card.
I have below questions :
1). Based on my situation, what are the options ?
2). Can a US Citizen sponsor anyone for some type of visa so that my mother can visit US ?I heard that US citizen can invite someone for famliy help under some type of visa category. I can ask a close friend or relative who is a citizen to sponsor my mother in that visa category .
3). Can a US Citizen sponsor unrelated (no direct relation) persons green card ? This way , I can ask a close friend or distant relative (no close relative in US) who is a citizen to sponsor my mother's green card.
Thanks,
