visitor visa after rejection as earlier extended visitor visa and later tried for Hi while on B1/B2 visa.

It would take decades for your brother to petition you.

 

Applications are assessed individually so your Daughters application is a separate issue.

I don't know that. But as you said It may be right that it may take decades. But as this is not my plan to get GC or citizenship so it doesn't matter for me at all. I am already 50 yrs old.  Even after decades, I will not try for GC.  If situation of my daughter will change after decades it may be a different case. I can't say what will happen after decades. But as per present situation, can you please guide me, how to answer or convince CO, that I will definitely return before my visa will expire? I want to stay there till mid of June 2018 only.  In my application I mentioned that I am house wife. But now, as my husband owns a committee on his name under which runs institutes under partnership. I can show now, that I have joined a job of a good salary and show income for this one month in my bank account. Will this be helpful? I doubt as it will be a recent job, showing only one month salary. If there is any good way to convince please guide me. I have  not even seen my brother from past 10 years. He came here in 2008. Later due to his job he was busy. He was unable to come. 

If possible guide me, as I want to try once. How can I convince. Will a recent job be helpful or any other proper way. I am even ready to lock my visa not to be extended or converted to any other purpose.

As mentioned before, what will convince the CO is you showing strong ties to return to India.  Employment is one of them, as is financial ties and property ownership.   

 

Right now, your ties are stronger to the US (your parents live there, your brother lives there, you wish to travel with your daughter).  Also against you is your previous extension which showed in the past that you did not have strong ties to return to India.  You can certainly try for the tourist visa and hope for the best, but honestly I don't see it happening in your case.

 

One question though:  You said you got a new job a month ago....yet earlier you said you want to stay in the US until June.  What new employer is going to give you approximately 3 months vacation time after just starting with them?  Another question the CO is going to wonder the answer to.

Let me put it to you this way. Actions speak louder than words. Your history has shown that you have tried to stay in the US even though you claim you will not this time. You have to understand that almost everything in the US is based on your history. When applying for a job they want to know your work experience, when apply for schools they want to see your previous grade transcripts, when applying for credit they want to see your credit history, and so on and so on. 

 

Your history is working against you and it will be extremely difficult for you to overcome it. You are still trying to see how you can convince an officer that you will not stay in the US, but do you know that before the officer even sees you he/she will spend weeks reviewing your history? Everything from the extension to the attempt for a H1B will be reviewed. So, by the time you come to the interview window the decision will likely be already made. 

 

You are free to try but it will be almost a guarantee of a denial.

My husband will be in India and as I never tried in between these 15 years for visitor visa. Now trying to see my seriously sick father for which I have documents from the USA hospitals wherever his brain surgeries were done. This should convince the officer that I have no intention to stay there. As persons goals and decisions change in such a long time period. But I think they will not be convinced. As per job, that will be in school which starts in the mid of June. When my father was in good condition, my parents used to visit their son and return India. But I never tried to go with them in these 15 years.

You keep mentioning your seriously sick father.

I hate to be cruel and it truly is horrible, but your reasons for wanting to go mean absolutely nothing.

 

They don't care why you want to go, all they care about is why you'd go home.

Unfortunately your past history counts against you. Last time you was approved for a tourist visa after they believed you would return home after a visit. Then you extended that "visit" and attempted to stay for even longer with a work visa.

You didn't break any rules doing those things but they showed clear immigrant intent. That counts against you now.

Yes it's true but I stayed there for one year only on visitor visa. I just applied in the last and worked for free for a month that too within that visitor visa time period. My H1 was approved and I returned within visitor visa time period only. I never stayed more than one year. 

But if there is no chance then I will not try for visa. 

[geowrian 22,338]

As noted, they need to see your ties to return home, not so much the reason you want to visit.

 

So you worked on your past visit as well?

Hospital documents regarding your father's surgeries in the USA as a legal permanent resident of the USA won't convince the officer you will return to India.  It won't make a difference at all in regards to your own merits in being approved. 

 

Many spouses leave their husbands/wives back in the home country and then just reunite in the USA afterwards----considering you will be travelling with your daughter (if she gets approved for her visa) it's reasonable for a CO to presume the husband will just travel to the US at a later date.

 

History lives forever---it cannot be erased. No matter how long ago something happened, it still happened.  That is what the CO will be looking at.  

 

You can certainly TRY for the visa, no one here is telling you not to.  Just that the possibility of being approved is very slim---but hey, anything can happen in this world and if you can spare the fee, go ahead and try.

Sounds like she volunteered somewhere for a month?

I had understood that the new job was with the husband’s company... conveniently in time for a visa application 

 

and agree CO will be suspicious. Ananta, as cynical as you think we might be, it’s not a patch on the COs who have seen people try every trick in the book before.

Does not sound it was volunteering that would be allowed as a visitor.

Not to be obtuse, but why would it convince them of that, rather than convince them that you’ll stay as long as you can in the US to help care for your father/spend the time with him?

[WeGuyGal 1,052]

Several inconsistencies in OP's various posts.  She want's a visa at any cost, but with her past history, one is unlikely. But anything is possible, so OP can go ahead and reapply. No amount of online posts matter; OP has to convince the CO if she decides to apply. 

 

I do not know an Indian who would pass at the chance to move to the US. Wonder if the USC brother has filed a sibling petition on OP's behalf.

Thank you for understanding my feelings and asking me to stay there with my father and spend time with him. But the problem is that one can't stay more than the permitted visa time period as its non immigrant visa. So, at present, seeing all replies, I feel it's better to try alone leaving my daughter. Then if I will be granted visa, then I can stay for 10 days in US and will return and then I will again try with my daughter. So that she can also see her grand father. Then if we will be granted visa then we will stay there for a month and return as the process may take long time and her college will reopen.
