There's got to be more to it than just birth dates. If they were asking about birth dates they may have thought that he wasn't really their grandson and the chance of child trafficking exists, but I doubt he was denied for not knowing the birth dates alone.

Thank you my step son's mother was there as well for the appointment

What did the refusal letter say?

[Boo Rowe 9]

that's what his mother told my husband but I feel it's something on her end

Maybe he was denied because they though he was going to stay with you in the US?

Without knowing what really happened it is impossible to make sensible comments.

Knowing the date of birth of grandparents is not something that most 12 year olds know. I think that was probably just some random question they asked but already had made their decision.

 

I would be more incline to think that the mother just gave you an answer to keep the child from traveling. It's possible she thinks your husband will not return him to her. Can't say I blame her.

and I am not blaming her she was the one that asked us if he could come for a visit. We could have saved that money $$

and I accept the good and bad comment with disregards to the bad ones not every apple is SWEET! Thanks Boiler I will know more once we speak to the mother and get full details

I just feel its a odd question

That wouldn't have been the reason it was denied.

Sheezuss!!!  I don't know my parents birth dates let alone my grandparents birth dates and I'm 60 years old!  Perhaps you are not getting the entire story because that just makes no sense at all.  I wish you all well.  God Bless,  David

Hi. It happened the same thing with my step daughter, but they also denied my in laws. Second time when my mother in law went for her interview, she was approved and as far as we understand they believed my mother in law was coming to bring her granddaughter.  I talked to a lawyer and her advise was to start an applications for a relative to come. That is what we did. We are still waiting 10 months later, but there is nothing else to do.
