Mom's visa got rejected for the fourth time

[charmy_20]

Hi,

My mom had her interview(in telugu at chennai) last week and was rejected for the fourth time.

The VO was a lady and asked only few questions and did not look into
one single document.The rejection reason was not stamped in the passport nor marked in the slip she gave.

Thanks to all the people who had shared their experiences, path2usa helped a lot.

We were so confident this time as she was well prepared(answered all the questions perfectly), took original docs of property and also CA statement for property worth many lakhs, she has an unmarried son (govt employee) in india, she has visited singapore and malaysia for tourism.

Though all the documents were neatly arranged and prepared not even a single document was looked at.

She asked :

How many children do you have? ( my daughter in US and son in Chennai)
Why are you going to US? ( for tourism and to spend some time with my daughter’s family)
Where does your son-in-law work? (XXX)
Where does your daughter work? (XXX)
Are both working??? (Yes)
What is your annual income? X, XX, XXX Rs

That's it! She said as per american law we can't give you visa.

Many widows before my mom were also rejected. It seemed like the questions were just eyewash and decision to reject was made when she saw that my mom was widow.

I do not understand why widows need to face this, even after having children
in india and having so much property.

I truly wanted to have my mom for tourism purpose, atleast once here in US.

Now I have lost hope.

I have one question:

Since no reason is given to her either in the passport or the slip can I write
a letter to the consulate asking for the reason.Have anybody done that before? Please share your experiences.

Also what does it mean when they say: "as per american law we can't give you visa"

Thanks

Some cases are hard to explain.Finding the reason from them is waste of time.Instead you keep trying untill you get exhausted.

Next time, tell her that she wants to see certain great places(Niagara, Statue of liberty, some place in your state) in USA and tell her to softly argue how much property you have and also that her only son lives in india.

Dont loose hope. I know how difficult it is to go to the consulate everytime.
Try again.Try again.

Thanks for your time and reply.

At the consulate my mom has seen that if someone tries to argue they close the window and go. Softly arguing is good but not sure if the VO would listen or have time. Having faced this 4 times it is so much pain. I wish atleast they look at the documents and check for what all they need to know and decide instead of just deciding blindly...

Next time I am planning to send my brother with her, hoping that she will atleast get even if he gets rejected. Is this good idea?

My mom knows tamil too, though my mom has taken all four times telugu interview can she take tamil interview next time? Would it cause any problem?

One of my friend suggested of group visa where my mom can go with other people and the travel agent will arrange for visa. Has anyone done this?

Thanks

Always try in a different language if she can speak fluently.
If she can manage english, that should be ok.

I tried for my wife and it worked.

What ever you try, they always have full information about the total appearances of the candidate.You should have a justifiable answer for what ever you do.
