Visit visa B-1 for mother

[sanaqadir 0]

hi

 

I need a suggestion, I am pregnant and I need my mother to be with me during my delivery period. I am green card holder here. She has applied for visit visa twice this year from Karachi Pakistan, which got rejected. Both time she told that sight seeing was the purpose of her visit, as people say that they reject visa when the reason of child birth is given. Now my question is that should she apply again third time for visit visa ? This time giving reason of child birth and providing a physician’s letter ? ( In my opinion, the rejection is not due to any incomplete paper work or financial incompetence; its maybe because of the fact that all of my siblings are in US, so they think she might slip here). Let me know thru ur experiences that what should be done ?

She won’t be getting a tourist visa with two recent denials. 

 

Hire a doula for birth and night doulas/nurses for night to mind the child if you can’t do it. 

 

Siblings should be able to lend a hand as well.

Unless circumstances change, another denial is probably likely outcome. The more denials on record in a short time also make one seem 'desperate' to get to the US in the embassy's eyes which is a red flag to them.

Agree with @milimelo.  Seems her change in circumstances is an even stronger tie to the US.....

Unfortunately she will not be able to come for the birth.  She appears to have more ties to the US than to Pakistan.  This circumstance occurs all the time in immigration.  It is one of the trade offs on starting an immigration path here.  If my wife becomes pregnant she knows full well that none of her family will likely be able to visit.  We already visit them twice each year.

Not telling the truth does not, did not, help her case.   Does she really think that the US doesn't know that all your siblings reside in the US.   So she was going to visit the Grand Canyon and Statute of Liberty and nor see any family?  Really?  Really!  Now when you actually want her to come you will send her a letter from a doctor to help get a tourist visa?   She can't say that she will come help take care of you and the baby because that is actually work and not allowed on a tourist visa.

For future reference, she should not lie to the CO.  It serves to confirm all the reasons why she and others from high-fraud countries do not get tourist visas to the USA.

It's not going to happen. Ask your siblings to be with you or hire someone. Your mother would NOT be allowed to help with the baby anyway.

I just have one brother here, who is a student, he can not be a helping hand during my delivery period unfortunately cuz of his busy schedule :(. Secondly she gave reason to visit family n sight seeing; and didnt lie about the presence of her both children here in US.

Not sure what the Physicians letter is supposed to do, why would they doubt that as a reason? 

 

She can of course reapply, she only has the application fee at risk.

[debbiedoo 2,339]

you do not NEED her here, you WANT her here. BIG difference.

 

She will not be approved with so many denials and so many family members in the US.

[SusieQQQ 11,584]

It will also look suspicious that she didn’t mention the pregnancy before, when the timing of the birth will make it obvious that she knew already the previous two interviews. And the COs at those interviews probably suspected she was hiding something, they are trained to pick this kind of thing up.

 

Too late for you but almost inevitably when we see here “my X was told to say Y because Z would get a denial”... guess what, X got a denial for saying Y. Honesty is always the best way in interviews. At least if you get a denial with the truth, you don’t get tripped up next interview when the reason suddenly changes.

 

Unfortunately,, leaving family behind is part of the immigration process. We have all missed big occasions back home and had family miss our big occasions here. It should all be part of the factors that go into deciding whether or not to immigrate. If you need a big family network around you to give birth - which is very common in some countries but is just seen as a “nice to have” in the US - then maybe it’s not the right place for you. Is there any chance of you (and maybe your husband) going home for the birth? (Although reading again you say all your siblings are in the US...then you say it’s just one brother..confusing ) What about next time you get pregnant?

[JFH 12,189]

She’s applied twice already this year and now considering a third application? It’s only June. The CO has seen her desperation to get here. People are not usually so desperate to go sight-seeing. The COs are not stupid. 

 

How many children did she say that she had here? Your story also changed from “all my siblings are here” to “I only have one brother here”. 

 

 

[Cathi 5,610]

She lied on her application twice already this year and now all of a sudden she will change her story because she's desperate to get here. Don't you think the CO is smart enough to figure this out? This is why one should never lie to immigration and this is why it's so difficult for others to obtain visitor visas from high fraud countries such as Pakistan.

 

You do not need your mother here, you want her here. Big difference. You changed your own story by stating that "all" of your siblings are here in the U.S. to "only one brother" is here. Sounds like you aren't telling the truth, either. FYI the consulate knows exactly how many members of your family are here.

 

Your mother can apply as many times as she wants, she'll only lose the application fee but there is a zero chance she'll be approved. She has a pregnant daughter and all of her children in the U.S.. Her ties are much stronger to the U.S. than they are to Pakistan.

You could go there for the birth.
