visitor visa for my father
Hi,
I have been referring to this site for guidance ever since I have been sponsoring my father's visa for 2 unsuccessful attempts.
My father used to work for a private company for over 18 years and retired. He did not get any pension. Mother is no more. I have been in the US for over 7 years now and I wanted to bring my father to the US so that he can spend some time with us.
He tried once in Mumbai and once in Chennai, both times, he was not given any reason. The second attempt he tried in Kannada without luck. My colleagues suggested me to approach our senator here in the US and send a letter to the consulate in Mumbai. I did that but in the second attempt, I asked my father to tell the VO that senator of Virginia would have sent a recommendation letter in support of my visa. As soon as he showed that, the VO handed him the refusal sheet.
In the meantime, my father's cousin suggested him to meet a visa consultant whom she approached for her visa when she too had a refusal. No harm to give it a try the third time so contacted them and explained them my father's experience. They spoke to my father as well and were of the opinion that there could be some communication problem while answering questions.
They coached him on that and ola! 3rd try success! I guess at times it is better to leave it to experts instead of complicating the situation. If anybody is interested in contacting them, they are Visa Vikings +91-99499-38272 or +91-88852-42557. All the best to everyone who is in a predicament like I was.

B1/B2 visit visa USA from Dubai
Hi
I have been living in Dubai since my childhood. have a USA visit visa since 2012 and have flown there once. I also hold valid Canadian visit visa and my travelling history has been very good across London and Europe. I work in a bank and have a very strong tie economically, socially with Dubai.
Recently my wife applied for US visa and it was denied. I was confident enough that my wife would get it. We both were suppose to travel together for tourism.
So the interview goes like this : -
VO : What is the purpose of the travel
Wife : Tourism
VO : What do you do
Wife : Housewife
VO : Are you travelling with someone
Wife : Yes, with my husband
VO : Does your husband has a visa
Wife : Yes
VO : How long are you married
Wife : 4 months
VO : How long are you in Dubai
Wife : 4 months
And then the lady officer refused the visa under 214b reason which is common. I was pretty shocked when she came out with a white paper. I know how the interviews works and i prepared my wife for it. I trained her for the interview with crisp answer and she followed the same. But still unlucky.
Can anybody suggest what should I do? Should i reapply again thinking that may be a different VO would understand the case and look at it differently.

Unfair Interview
Goodnite Sir, Madam,
My husband, myself and my kid who is 11 yrs old had a US Visa interview today .... However, we were not given a fair interview... Reasons for unfair interview being the Interviewer did not even take our documents and checked through but we were denied entry to the US reasons being DO NOT have sufficient ties in the country.... Can u help me try to understand this denial when our documents were still in our hands which were supporting information to our Visa application...

B2
Hi everyone! I'd like to share my experience when my visa got refused and I hope to hear inputs and advice from you after reading my experience.
I have applied last 2013 at Abu Dhabi US embassy. I'm Filipino, male, single, and I was 32 years old back then, employed with reasonable salary, travel history is only in Hongkong and Malaysia, I have a brother who is a US citizen.
VO: purpose of your trip
Me: to visit my brother as I haven't seen him for quite some time
VO: where does your brother live
Me: in _____, California
VO: How did he get into the US
Me: because of his work (just found out recently that he was petitioned by his wife)
VO: sorry your are not eligible for a visa
I realized that maybe the reason I was denied because for sure they have a record about his circumstances that I wasn't aware about.
Now, I'm applying again in a few weeks. Current circumstances now is I have traveled to Italy, France, Spain, Germany and UK aside from the asian countries I have been before. Same company with a bit higher salary now. Still single.
What are the odds of me getting a visa? Will it be okay if the VO ask for the purpose of my trip, I'd answer: To see the golden gate bridge and Yosemite park and tour around California where my brother is (instead of answering just: to visit my brother?) A friend told me, better to empashize your just there as a "tourist" than to emphasize that you will visit your brother.
What are your thoughts?
