the vice-consul thinks you qualify for USA Citizenship, and wrote that (IR-5)

at least, that's what I think.

when you say you 'applied for your mum' - exactly, what, did you apply FOR ?

The CO is worried you have/will apply for citizenship while the parents are in the US. They can then overstay and adjust status while they are here, once you become a citizen.

They will need to show very strong ties to the home country to overcome this presumption.

Ya, that makes sense, for a tourist visa application.

Give more information. People are wiling to help here but cant if you provide insufficient information.

If you are trying to bring your mom on a green card, then you cant coz you need to be a citizen for that. She can however apply for a visit visa.

I applied for a visit or tourist viisa for both in-laws. They gave my father in-law 5 years but refused his wife. All the explanations they gave was IR5. This does not make sense because neither my wife and I are US citizens. We are permanent residents.

When my father inlaw went for his visa and inquired they said it was a mistake by the person who interviewed my mother inlaw the first time (Note: she applied previously alone)

so - you've a path to fix the mistake, yes?

No I do not have a path to fix it.

The embassy is really not helping to rectify the situation.

They seem to be suggesting that she applies again.
