My in-laws' application for visitor visa was rejected a couple of weeks back. The reason for rejection was 214(b). The reason they gave for visting the U.S. was to visit us their daughter and son-in-law. Since they had enough funds to visit us I didnot sponsor them. Additionally both my in-laws are well employed and have no plans to stay back. However a couple of years back, my father-in-law's brother, who is a U.S. citizen, had applied for a green card for both of them. Could that be an issue? They never lied about it. They had stated that in the application. Now my sister-in-law has got her U.S. student visa and is planning to join school here this fall. They are planning to re-apply. So how should we approach this?
a) Should I sponsor my in-laws and send them the necessary documents by stating that they want to visit us?
b) Should they re-apply by stating that the primary reason for their visit is to come here to help their daughter settle and get ready for school and also visit their other daughter and son-in-law?
In either case should we provide any additional documentation to prove that the green card application on file will not influence them to stay back as they have they jobs that they need to get back to and cannot be away for more than 40 days.
Please advise.
