Hi,
My mother applied for her visitor visa in feb 2004. she was denied visa under 221(g) and the case was put under "Administrartive processing". She was again asked to appear at the consulate and this time after some questioning, she was denied visa under 212(a)(6)(c) and the reaosn cited was "Material misrepresentaion". However, we are certain that we did not try to hide or misrepresent any wrong information. Apparently , she suspected that my mom had enetered US earlier by illegal means. VO asked my mom abt her earlier passport which she did not carry with her to the consulate. and the visa was denied under 212(a). My mom has never travelled to US.
How can we prove that it is a clear case of misunderstanding and all our documents are genuine. We can furnish the old passport and any other doc required.
My dad also tried in Nov 2004 and he too was denied visa under 214(b). He was asked questions related to my mom's denial.
I am in US on H-1 B since 2005 and my sister is a permanent resident. We are the only children of our parents and it is really distressing to know that our parents have not been able to visit their children even once.
Is it possible to appeal against the 212 clause and re apply for a visa ? Has there been cases where visa has been granted after getting the "Material Misrepresentation" stamp on your passport.
I will really appreiciate any help that you can provide.
Regards,
