Mom’s B2 Visa Refused

[Sherryll T. 3]

 

So my Mom got refused for B2 visa at USEM. Now, we are are planning to just go to the Philippines next year

(June 2020) to let her try again. My question is, Can we go inside as well for her interview? (Me and Hubby).

Does anyone here tried this? Thanks & have a great day!

You can try. Embassies are usually really strict about who enters. Usually, non applicants are allowed. Besides, your presence won't make a difference if your mother's circumstances haven't changed. Was this a new attempt since June that she got denied for?

Is there not somewhere you can wait outside, do not know about Manila but they tend not to be fun places.

You *may* be allowed inside the building, but you'll likely not be allowed to sit with her during the interview itself, if that's what you were hoping.

Your presence there won't make any difference either way....she's approved or denied on her own merits.

It’s going to look extremely desperate for you to travel halfway across the world to try attend a tourist visa interview with your mom. What do you hope to say to change the CO’s mind? You can’t guarantee that she will leave the US again, which is what they will need to be convinced of.

Your time would be better spent helping your mother bolster her case for having adequate ties to the Phils. that she will return home after her visit.

USEM is so unpredictable on Tourist Visa for parents. From what I have seen the usually approve tourist visa for parents. Did they give any reason they denied the tourist visa?

 

I took a guy to PI back in 2011 he ended up marrying a girl and they just had the first child last year, I was at a party last month and the father whom is 59 and a rice farmer from Davao City was at the party , he had been approved for a tourist visa and was staying for 6 months taking care of the baby while the husband and wife worked.

Well,  Mom said the the questions are pretty easy. Just her name, what state, & when is she coming. Didn’t even look at her documents. But at the end the CO said "sorry you are not qualified for the visa" so I have no idea.

Which is considered working and not permitted. This is the reason some parents get denied. Babysitted is considered working. That father is adding to the problem of making it difficult for others.

Yes, it was her first. Now, its kinda hard for me to convince her again. She told me this morning when I talked to her that she’s not interested in coming anymore.  So, maybe we will just visit her next year.

Yep. Just like we predicted. We mentioned in the other thread of yours that applicants bring letters of invitation and "sponsorship" papers to the interview and the officer don't even look at anything.

This is why we saying that going there will make even less of a difference. Most visitor visa interviews last a few minutes. But it is ultimately your decision.

Ofcourse, I wouldn’t travel halfway across the world just to attend her interview. It would be a great time to spend with family as well. I was just thinking that I can atleast go with her to show our support maybe that way she wouldn’t be so nervous or something;)

Thanks! Probably will just visit them next year, coz she wouldn’t try one more time. Maybe disappointed which I understand. 

[Unlockable 7,306]

Maybe she will have a change of heart next year and try one more time. And who knows, she may get approved next time. 

 

Best of luck to you
