Sponsoring my Mom - Need help
Hello,
I am in USA on student visa. My mom is 60+ and she was denied twice. (Do not know why. My dad is in India and my mom is coming all alone. No chance she will not go back) I am trying to call her this time but I am in a dilemma as to what to do. Since I am on my F1, I thought of asking my cousin to sponsor her. (To show strong financial backing) I am just confused that last 2 times we did not mention about him. If all of a sudden he will sponsor her, would it be a problem?,
Please guide me
Thank You

B2 Visa rejection
Hi, I wanted to bring my aunt and uncle to US as they really wanted to visit US once so I applied for their B2 visa back in April but the results weren't positive. Below are the questions asked and answers provided. My uncle is a retired teacher and aunt is housewife.
Q : What do you do?
A : I'm a retired teacher.
Q: Who is sponsoring your visa? and where will you stay in US?
A : My nephew is sponsoring (which is myself - my uncle is my dad's brother) and we will be staying at this house in ...place in US.
Q: How long do you intend to stay in the US?
A : we are planning to stay there for 4 months.
Q: Why so long?
A : we want to cover entire USA and will need time to go to all the important places since US is a big country.
Consular rejected the visa after this q. Very few questions were asked and it looked like the consular had already profiled them as potential immigrants and thus didn't bother to ask additional questions.
Not knowing what went wrong, we reapplied in Aug and below is the conversation with the consular officer
Q: What is the purpose of your trip to US?
A: We want to visit US for tourism purposes.
Q: Who is sponsoring your visa?
A : My nephew is sponsoring.
Q: Where does he live and how is he related to you?
A : He lives in so and so place and he is my brother's son.
Q: Is your brother travelling with you?
A: No, it's just me and my wife.
Q: Does your nephew visits India often?
A : No (which is true and also the thought process was that if I (their nepew) visit India often, what's the need for them to visit US to see me)
Q: Do you have children?
A: Yes, we have 4 children
Q: where do your children live?
A : they are all in India.
Q: How long do you intend to visit US?
A: 1 month since my son's wedding is coming up in three months and we need to start arrangements for it so we'll visit for a month and return.
Q : What do you do?
A : I'm currently doing Agriculture but before I was a teacher (this is a true fact). Thinking retirement was the reason last time, my uncle said he does agriculture which is actually ture. He has fields and does some agriculture work.
Q: What is your income?
A: 1Lakh (didn't specify per month or per annum but just said 1L)
Q: (to my aunt) what do you do?
A : I'm housewife.
At the point, consular rejected.
While asking these questions, the consular also went through the passport pages. Since my uncle and aunt haven't travelled to any country outside of India, there weren't any visas in their passports.
Also the consular didn't ask any questions related to previous denial
We are not sure what went wrong here and why the visa was rejected. I see in this forum that travel history really helps to get a visa if so is there any chance if they do a short trip to nearby country and then apply for visa. Will that help? Can we reapply in a month's time? Please advise. Thanks in advance for your replied.

B1/B2 Visitor Visa Parents + Minor Brother
Hello all,
I work at Amazon here in Seattle, WA. I applied for visitor visa to bring my parents to a work event and though it would be also a great experience for my 12 year old (adopted) brother.
My dad is retired and my mom is a housewife.
Length of stay: 3 months
Type: B1/B2
Here is how the interview went according to my parents:
They only asked three questions from my Dad:
Why do you want to go to U.S.
How is paying for the trip
At the end give them a yellow letter with 214 b rejection. I quickly went to check their ceac numbers online and found that my brother was refused and mom and Dad was still under application received which led me to believe that their application was denied because of my brother. Also, the VO never interviewed my mom.
I am planning to re-apply alone just my parents and please shoot your ideas and analysis on this.

B1/B2 Visa Experience
Here is my experience:
I got rejected today. I applied and got interviewed at the US Embassy in Tel Aviv, which I know most people here apply in India. The interview lasted less than a minute and the officer did not even look at me once. This is what I put on my DS-160...
- 21 years old
- Travel to Los Angeles, California for 8 days
- Worked for the same job for 5 months earning $2,000/month
- My whole family is here
- I take a course once a week
- I plan on studying psychology for my BS
AND this is how my interview went (I didn't have a chance to say good morning):
C: Passport, please.
Me: *Hands over passport*
C: Why do you want to visit the USA?
Me: I want to visit California for 8 days
C: Do you still live with your parents?
Me: Yes.
C: What did you do in the military? (2-year mandatory service)
Me: I got out of the military early for "this and that reason"
C: Are you studying?
Me: No.
C: Do you have plans to study?
Me: I don't know, maybe sometime next year.
C: Sorry your visa is denied.
Recap: I kind of understand what I did wrong here but is there any way I could have answered better? He didn't seem too happy and only looked at his computer nor did he request any documents. We never made eye contact. He also advised me to reapply when I start studying. Any advice would be appreciated a lot. Thank you in advance.
P.S. Would having a relative who works at the US embassy and knows the visa officers help in approval? I was thinking he could email his boss and then his boss and he would tell the visa officers to look into more for when I next reapply.

Selected B1/B2 instead of B2 for tourism
I am wishing to travel to the US for tourism purpose and on sponsorship from my uncle, but in my DS-160 instead of B2 visa, I have selected B1/B2 in visa category. Will this be an issue? Can I get it rechanged to B2 while going for biometrics?
