Dear All,

I need help...

My mother visa was denied under 214 b yesterday. They(US consulate Chennai) have asked 4 to 5 questions..
They have not even looked at my docs sent from here. Currently am in L1 A Visa.

1) What purpose are you going to USA?
Ans: Tourism

2) Who is staying in USA and for which company is he working?
Ans: Son and working for xxx company.

3) Since how long?
Ans: I am staying here since 5 yrs..but by mistake she said 8 yrs.

4) How many kids do you have?
Ans: 2 sons...One is in US(me), other son is looking after fields. She again missed about my sister and she did not mention about her.

5) Since how long your husband is no more?
Ans: 12 yrs

6) How much pension are you getting?
Ans: 4000/-


That's it and they have given 214 b.

My mom may be bit nervous...am here only 5 yrs so how can she approach for the 2nd time?

Can I apply 2nd time soon?
Can she tell the Visa officer about the mistakes she made in the 1st interview?

Please advice ....

Thanks,
Ravi

These 3 facts basically resulted in 214(b). Think of it from the consul's point of view. With which son is your mother more likely to live with?

In my opinion, the consul had probably made up his mind before the mini-interview. Between a son who tends the fields and one who is working in the US, the consul was more or less convinced the mother would end up staying with the latter.

The bigger issue is that she "forgot" she had a daughter.

That is incorrect. Your wife and dependent kids when applying for L-2 visas do not have to overcome 214(b). However your mother applying for a B-2 to visit you is a potential immigrant and has to overcome 214(b).
