The visa officer feels like they are an immigration risk. Why? It could be many things. Not strong enough ties to home country could be one reason. How are you here in the U.S.? On a visa, green card, naturalized citizen? No matter what documentation is provided or who is paying for the trip, if the visa officer for whatever reason feels like they would be an immigration risk, they will deny the visa.

Also, India is a high immigration risk country for the U.S. It is very common for parents to come here on tourist visas to visit their children who have worked here and have obtained a green card and then once they arrive, their children file for their family based green cards and assist them with immigrating.

VO saying "No you r lying' perplexes me. There must be something you wrote on the DS-160 form or maybe some information he was able to pull from somewhere that made him ask the question. Since you say they were rejected both times maybe there is some glaring discrepancy between the first and second DS-160 forms.

first time visa sponsored by my husband so i think that one b the reason of first rejection i have also dependent visa h4.. so second time my parents apply self sponsored visa. otherwise all the information between first and second DS-160 r same..
