Some body please suggest me what i should do to get my mom's visitor visa. She attended twice with a gap of 9 months and again she is attending Mar 9 with a gap of almost 10 months.All our family members are here in U.S. They asked simple questions like "how many children do you hava?" " where are they living?". she replied correctly for those questions. Even though she replied well, they rejected twice with out telling anything. My mother is widow and her age is 58. Is that the reason for their refusal?
she showed the properties worth of 25lacs. Also she has her all siblings in india.

please suggest me how should i prepare her to get visa this time. Thanks in advance and also i don't have much time to wait for response. Please reply me soon.

My mom is House wife.

The above info is when is attended for the first two times.

she attended 3rd time also yesterday and they rejected again.

questions and answers were as follows

1)Why are you going to U.S
Ans) To help my Daughter because is not feeling well and produced the doctor certificate stating that she had a miscarriage.

2)Where are your other children
Ans) All are in U.S

even though she tried to tell some thing, they refused to listen and rejeted the visa.


Some one please help us what to do at this situation.

The main conditon for Visistor visa is "Strong ties back to the home comuntry and person should not be a potential immigant and should come back with the allowed time".
It seems that unfortunately all your family memebers are in USA and your mther being widow/ home maker etc makes her case weak for her claim for the visa.
Now , you can apply again and see what all you can produce to proove that she will come back ? Deost she has property etc in India ?

Hi..
i tell you why the visa got refused!
cuz of this answer!
Why are you going to U.S
Ans) To help my Daughter because is not feeling well and produced the doctor certificate stating that she had a miscarriage.
See this info she gave to help her daughter............this was all not needed..
her answer should be this. To visit and see her daughter.. they did not ask her if her daughter was ill or something........remember only answer the question which is asked. do not give them extra information....Even there was no need to give doctor certificate..
I felt that with your mom giving this answer the officer assumed that oho she she is going for baby sitting for her daughter or something. right..well the officer must have thought that there are a lot nannies over there in USA and once your mom goes she may live there for long to do a lot baby sitting for her daughters childeren....so the officer should have thought that she may never come back and do there baby sitting for ever:). GOt it !!
SO next time when he askes this question confidently reply :To visit adn see my daughter. and to add more to it just say i miss my daughter and its been this mucg time i have not meet her etc etc...(she is a mom and its her right to see her childern right just a thought)
2..she should show a lot homeland ties to her country. by showing her sublings..
3.Her home if she owns
4.or any activity/responsibilty she is doing etc..

Hay tel you one thing i am in the same boat as yours i am planning to vist my hubby in US, and i do not work(job is a tie to homeland) nor anything else, and i am my self wondering and seeking help on how to show strong home land ties:-)
Wish you best of luck this time:)!!

Thanks for your response Murali. We have property back in india. may be worth of 40lacs.
She already took those documents but they did not ask for them. also when she tried to explain about the ties they did not listen. she is alone murali, on top of that my father recently passed away. we are really really frustrated with the situation. please explain me how to prepare this time. i will totally follow your guidence.

Savda,
thank you very much for your replay. I know that we need to show strong ties with the home land but how to show those ties. those should be in the form of documents or ovar would be ok. she has her siblings but how to show that to them. Also she took all the property documents worth of 40lacs but they did not see them at all even though she tried to show them. I don't know how to get visitor visa in india to woman like my mon.

Any way thanks for your support.

yes you are right how to show strong ties.may she can tell officer in person that she has all her sublings and her relatives here. her sisters mother etc...
hay lets wait and see what murli says?about this. i would seek his advice...
See even i need to show some ties like my parents my inlaws here in my home land may i ask my dad to prepare me a letter or what..??
OK murli over to you...whats your advice??

hay one TIP.. have your some cousion or some one to be a visa officer for you mom for a while and drill her all the possible questions the officer may ask and have your mom answer those questions.or may you can drill with her on phone all the questions the offcier may ask. better is this have your some cousion or someone who is close to her do this, and ask her again and again so when she goes infront of the officer she feels confident.. develop a questionare for her...and be very specific when answering questions..DO NOT GIVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION !MORE THEN WHAT IS ASKED!
(.i and my hubby would be with the help of this site preparing questions for my self also but my questions would be a bit differnt..for i am visiting my hubby)
...see this time prepare her well and your mom will get the visa!!!!!
Good luck!

this time we prepared like anything. we called several times to our mom and prepared her well with all the possible questions but the problem is who will listen even though we are prepared to answer the questions. when my mom tried to answer some thing he refused to listen. what can we do if he is not prepared to listen?

Any thanks for your advice.


still I am eagerly waiting for suggesions from every one who is intrested to help us.

I see my husband is on R1(religous) visa.. he is waiting for his green card and is having a legal status not a visa. he is in R1 status.GOT IT!!This is what i have..and as a wife i cannot have an R2 visa unless he has a green card...

Okay i see thats excellent if your mom is prepared to answer any question!!!!!!!! i think she will get visa this time then!!!
on the option what if they refuse to listen..
See then if that happenes i would ask them sir i would like to know the reason why my visa is being denied..and what is needed on my part that i can do just tell him politely that i need to visit my children..and it would also be a good thing i can also see usa.. etc. just you knwo communcation is the key.
