Some people are such big meanies!

Shuddup, Beavis, hehe-he-he-hehe-huhuh-hehehe

OK - you're just running wild now. The odd occasion when one or more of us is allowed to do so.

Actually . . . . Please stop the name calling and personal attacks. They are not amusing, they add nothing to the conversation and - oh yes, they do get reported.

Some people are such big meanies, aren't they Kathryn?

Just decided to share with those who are doing this. My parents, grandmother, cousin and aunt applied for a tourist visa to come to our 1 year anniversary. All 5 of them got denied. I know this is not actually a surprise to anyone, maybe just discouraging.

I got denied the same visa two years ago when I wanted to go see my at that point boyfriend, now husband. At that point they at least looked at the documents that proved my ties to Ukraine, and just didn't consider them enough.

In my parents situation, I filled out their DS 160 applications online. At the consulate, they didn't take any documents proving their ties, the lady just told them the officer will take them if he requests so. Well, they were all interviewed together. Just asked questions from the application (the only thing listed there was employment). And said that they all five are potential immigrants.

All five of them had a lot of documents which I translated. My dad not only makes more than average, he receives special high retirement pension. They have an apartment, a car, both working. Money in the bank.

So maybe for those of you who do it in the future, try to list somewhere on the application other income if possible.

Good luck to those who will be applying for the b2.

Sorry for your troubles. I would guess that the problem was that so many family members applied at the same time. That must raise red flags all over the place.
