PLEASE HELP!!! What would you do?
I am American, my boyfriend of 4 years is Romanian with a Romanian passport, but we both have residence in Italy. I just want him to come to the USA to meet my family, we are young and we do not own property, but his entire immediate family lives in Italy. Is that enough proof of bonding ties? Apart from that, the fact that I am his girlfriend and I live with him in Italy...I have residence in Italy. We would both travel together, but obviously we would both be coming back. He has a stable job and so do I, I do not want to live in USA and neither does he, what else can we do to prove this? Should he even mention that he has an American girlfriend that lives in Italy with him? I'm wondering if that will help or hinder his chances? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

B2 Visa Rejected.
Hi All,
I arranged for my parents to US in B2 Visa. Yesterday they went for Chennai Consulate for interview in Tamil. The VO asked few questions and my parents answered all of that.
Finaly the VO written in a slip that my father AGE IS 80 ABOVE and returned my parents passport.
My father is 82 years and mother is 77 years old. They literally crying for their VISA to come to USA and see my new born baby, my family and some places.
What is the best way to get them stamped. Please advice me.

Hope this can help other people with their Visa applications.
Thanks for forums like this that helped us a lot in the interview preparation.

Visitor Visa
We had attended visa interview for tourist visa from Dubai last week. Our visa was approved, but our case was difficult, as my sister has filled immigration petition for me and our visa was already rejected once before 3 years. So we were well prepared this time. We have a small daughter, so we opted not to take her for the interview as my wife’s parents were around.
Questions asked:
•Tell me your name?
•(To Wife) tell me your name?
•How old your daughter is?
•Have you brought photo of yours?
•So your sister is staying in the USA?
•From how long she is staying?
•Where is she staying?
•Please give me your company letter
•Also give me your bank statement
•So your sister has filled immigration petition for you?
•How your sister became US Citizen?
•Do you know the status of your immigration petition?
• What do you think when your turn will come?
•How long are you planning to go?
•From how long are you staying here?
• (To Wife) when did you get married?
•(To Wife) when did you come here?
• Which countries you have visited earlier?
•Have you travelled together?
•(To wife) do you have any relatives in USA?
•(To wife) has she filled immigration petition for you?
• (To wife) Are you pregnant?
We just gave straight forward answers. Our intention was clear that we just want to go to visit USA at this time.
If you convince VO that the duration to migrate to the USA is long and there is no need to leave a steady job at this moment then it’s slightly easy for VO to grant the visa.
Overall, our interview went smooth. Thanks immihelf for providing the platform to share the experience.

Refusal B2 visa of my parents
Hi,
My parents had applied for B2 visa for tourism but got rejected. They had their interview on March 7. They were asked basic questions like :
1. Why are you visiting US?
Short trip.
2.Who lives there?
Daughter/Son-in-law, Son who is studying. Copy of daughter and son-in-law visas were asked.
3. What do you do?
I am retired from Bank.
4.To my mother-what do you do?
I am a housewife.
The Consular officer did not specify any reason for refusal and just gave them a refusal slip. They were planning to visit in the month of June. I am planning to reapply for them.
Please tell me what are the points to keep in mind for applying again?
