My mother has her visitor visa interview on 06 June, 2006 at 9.45am. This is her third appearance in the consulate (first was Feb 2005, second was June 2005 and third was June 2006) and She was rejected her visa again under section 214B.
My mother is aged 59 yrs and she is a single parent. We are two siblings (me and my brother) and both of us are in US now. Both me and my brother are here on deputation and will be returning to India after our assignment is over.
With the help of the senator, I made an enquiry to chennai consulate for the reason for rejection. The reply indicated that my mother does not have enough financial ties to home country. This is the same reason they gave last time as well.
My mother owns a two storeyed home, land and savings account in India. We had appointed an auditor who evaluated her assets. This report was shown to the officer at the time of interview and still they say she doesnt have enough financial ties. This is the third time I am applying visitor visa for my mother. I can invite my mother only when I come to US on deputation. I am really disappointed by the way my mother’s case was considered by the US consulate. I have lost one more chance to get my mother to USA to show places because of an unfair response shown by the officer/ translator at the US consulate. I am really desperate to bring my mother to USA and show her places here.
Some ppl were telling me that it is difficult to get the visa as my mother is a single parent or may be because me and my brother are in US. If this is true I am surprised by the way US govt promote their tourism.
I am requesting your advice on what I can do to give a chance for my mother to visit me in USA before I go back to India. Is there a way by which I can request the officers to reconsider their decision made. Is there anything more that I can do. Pls advice.
Thx
