Validity of Visitor Documents

[RamaB]

My In-Laws Visa was rejected in December.I would like to know how long the documents they carry will be valid
Bank Statements,Property affidavits etc

Do they need to redo all the paperwork again if they go to visa in April/May?

Thanks

I am a firm believer that 214(b) refusals are made within a minute based on one's DS-156. Documents really do not make or break a case. If your in-laws were victims of 214(b), the same documents and a fresh DS-156 is all they need, in my opinion.

Are the documents dated Dec 1st valid even now?

Do you think it is safe to carry the latest dated documents than going with old ones.

I read somewhere that the documents are valid for 1 year.
