My Parents applied for a tourist visa in Mumbai consulate twice and they got rejected both times. First time they applied in September 2006 and Seconf in Oct 2006.
MY Parents have 2 sons, both in US. I have a work permit, my brother is on an H1. My father has his business. No other kids in india.
I sent all my supporting docs and my sponsership papers.
My father took all this Property docs, Tax papers, Business property papers, Bank statements.
The Officer in Mumbai Consulate didn't even look at the papers.
They started off asking these questions:
(1) What do you do?
(2) HOw many childrens? where are they? what's their status? what do they do?
(3) They just looked at my passport copy
The Officer said that you have already been REJECTED Once. The reason was "YOU DON"T HAVE A STRONG FAMILY TIE IN INDIA".
Questions:
---------------
What SHOULD We do in this case?
What more proof should be provide?
Should only one parent apply at a time?.
How many rejections are allowed before you can reapply?
My MOTHER finally also requested Officer to NOT give Visa to my Father, INSTEAD just give to me so then She can come here and visit her sons for few months.
MY Parents want to visit us and they haven't been here at all.
PLEASE ADVICE!! Appretiate all your help with this!
