Its pretty simple really, even for someone who actually and somehow managed to accrue not (1) but (2) RFE's during a K1 AOS.

There are specific requirements which must be met by applicants to qualify for a visitor visa under provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The consular officer at the embassy or consulate will determine whether you qualify for the visa.

The presumption in the law is that every visitor visa applicant is an intending immigrant. Therefore, applicants for visitor visas must overcome this presumption by demonstrating that:

The purpose of their trip is to enter the U.S. for business, pleasure, or medical treatment;

That they plan to remain for a specific, limited period;

Evidence of funds to cover expenses in the United States; (Duh the applicant's funds, not their newly snared American son-in-law's funds LOL)

Evidence of compelling social and economic ties abroad; and

That they have a residence outside the U.S. as well as other binding ties that will insure their return abroad at the end of the visit.

 

i don't get it.

And underlying all of this (notice, no mention of a requirement of bringing an I-134) is that the VO MUST be satisfied/convinced that the applicant will depart the US and not engage in unlawful activity....merely owning a house or property, having a job and a bank account will NOT result in automatic visa issuance.

My 54 years old aunt just got a visa at the USA consulate in Moscow. No real ties to Russia other than an apartment and a low income job as a teacher. For every question related to the why she is going to the USA she replied "shopping". She was honest and that, of course, worked.

As per the original post, perhaps your family political posts got something to do with the denial?
