Widow Mother In Law B2 Visitor Visa Rejected

Posted by: Aravind On 03 Feb 2012

My mother-in-law aged 55, went for the interview today at 8:30 AM., at Hyderabad Consulate. My uncle passed away in November 2009, following a heart attack. He was just 54 when he expired. She receives a really good amount of pension as my father in law used to be Central Government Employee. They have two children - my wife & her elder sister. My sister-in-law's family stays in the same state. They have an year old son too. My mother-in-law had the picture of herself, along with her daughter's family also - when she went in for the interview. Here are the questions, she was asked during the interview.

Who stays in US?
My younger daughter & son-in-law

What does your son-in-law do?
He works for some company as a software engineer

How long will you stay in US?
Just couple of months. I am planning to visit US along with my son-in-law's mother from March last week to May last week. She works as a teacher and her vacation starts off only that time. We wanted to go together because all of us want to spend some quality time together after my daughter's marriage.

What do you do?
I am pensioner

Do you get pension? What does your husband do?
No. My husband was a central government employee. I get pension because of him. He is no-more. -

Who stays with you now?
I stay along with my elder sister. She is also a pensioner. She doesn't have any children & her husband expired long ago. So, she stays with me.

How many children do you have?
Two daughters. One is here in Hyderabad. They work here in Hyderabad. My other daugther is in USA.

So, one daughter is in US & other is in India?
Yes.

VO mentioned "Sorry, you will not be granted visa. Please refer to this document for your rejection"., and was handed over the 214(b) brochure.

What are my odds now? .

I guess she spoke more than required ( too much of information )

@Bindu - I felt the same, after looking back at how the interview went on. Too much of information is no good at times! I asked her to answer in detail, which took a wrong turn in her case.

How would you recommend we proceed next time?
