Hello Everyone,

My parents got denied for their B2 Visa application in Nov, I don't know if they should apply for it again. Wish to get some advice here.

I got my K1 Visa in Nov, and my fiancé wrote an invitation letter for my parents for their B2 Visa application, because we want to invite them to come to US for our wedding in March 2019.

Because my parents income is not good, so my fiancé said he gonna pay for their expenses for their plane tickets, hotel room and food etc. in the invitation.

 

Here are the Q&A: (might not in same order)

VO: Purpose of visiting US?

Dad: To attend my daughter's wedding.

VO: Can I see her passport?

Dad: yes.(And then showed VO my passport with K1 Visa and my dad also give him the invitation letter and some pics of us with my fiancé)

VO: How many children do you have?

Dad: Only 1.

VO: How many days do you go to work every weekend?

Dad: 5 days, from Monday to Friday.

VO: Where do you live?

Dad: We live in Beijing.

VO: Sorry I can't give you visa.

 

So I want my parents to try to apply for B2 Visa again because I really want them to come to my wedding.

I want my parents to tell VO that they won't stay in America illegally because they know that would have bad influence for my status in US.

Also my fiancé booked the plane ticket for me to proof that I am going US to marry him. And he also booked the plane ticket because he will come to China to pick me up.

 

I don't know what else I can do to help...I wish someone can give me some advice...

Or should I just give it up and ask my parents to apply for tourist visa when I get Green card?

Thank you!

 

 

 

Your thinking the same I was, just wait until you get your Green card, but honestly that still won't help them to get a tourist visa. And you can't petition them to come I think until you have citizenship. Better off taking trips back to your home country and visiting them frequently, sorry to say but that is the reality.

Nobody can petition for a tourist visa, greencard or citizen.

Tourists apply for their own visas and are approved or denied on their own circumstances.

that will be bad ideal, co will ask your dad the sources of the money and if co find out that the money were send to them by you it will create impression that when they overstay you will still footing their bill.

From my experience I believe that no one would be able to tell  the criteria of consular officers to grant a visa. Recently my mom and sister got their visa, we were concern about my application and my sister being single with no kids. My mom is a retired teacher (no worries with her). The interview focused on my sister current and past jobs, nothing else. No support documents were required.

Tourist Visa rules are different that 

Fiance Visa Rules

Spousal Visa Rules 

Family-member Visa rules . 

 

For China, basically one has to have great reason to return to China. 

Usually this is show by 1) job 2) savings account book 3) property title 4) car title

and not much else.  

 

Everyone applying for a Tourist Visa is evaluated for possible overstay criteria.  IMO, your parents are nearing retirement age and without showing 1 through 4 at the interview ?  They'd be a good case for denial. 

 

As to applying again ? Sure - they can try, must show strong ties to China via 1 through 4. Paperwork / documentation submitted WITH the Visa Application. 

 

This stuff submitted prior, from your fiance - this is sorta troublesome - did you get this advice from some QQ group ? I hope no ! 

 

Go Get Em, and Good Luck !

Oh~ Thank you for your reply, noted on the reasons, I guess I was just think it's not that hard and we are being honest... I should've come here and ask around earlier... oh well, we will try maybe next year...
