visa for parents in 3rd attempt

[tony5]

My parents got a 10 yr multiple entry visa in the third attempt. Both times earlier, they were rejected saying that they were potential immigrants since both their children were here. Third time, however they were granted.
Good luck to all.

Hi,
My mom's visa got rejected twice stating her as a potential immigrant. My mom is a widow and I am the only son. I was just wondering whether your situation changed from the last time you appeared. Could you please tell me what you did different this time if your situation hadn't changed. Did you get any letter from some one. Also could you please tell me what are the questions asked to your parents. It would be very helpful for me if you could share your experience.

Thanks,
Neel

nothing changed. no real questions were asked. good luck. hopefully she will get it the next time. It is very subjective and depends entirely on the interviewer.

Tell your parents to ensure one of the follwoing to prove that they will come back:
They should have substantial proof of landed property in their name from since long.

If they have any unmarried daughter then that ensures their return as per Indian culture Indian parents wed their own daughter and son.

If they are working then they should take their employment proof. Profo of date of retirement and how much pension they will get will help the Immigration officer decide reason enough for them to come back for job or pension.

Large and continuous bank balance.

Any affiliation to political party as its appointment holder.

When being questioned they should convince the Interviewing officer why they will be back? They should be confidently doing so. They must lay stress on that they love their own country and in this age do not wish to settle in a country with new culture and new place and why would they leave India what is worng with India? Ask him or her ( Interviewing officer) why they are here dont they like India. Explain them it is just human that we are parents and wish to see our children whom we have nto seen since so long. How will they feel if they are seperated from their children? Counter questioning is the most offensive way of wining a situation.
When you try again it shows your desire to meet your beloved ones too.
Good luck
