Last year, we tried to get tourist visas for my wife's parents who live in Guatemala.  My wife is a permanent resident.  Both parents are on fixed income(Retired).  They own a house and another piece of land.  They have two daughters and four grand kids in Guatemala.   They do have a bank account with enough money for the trip but not much more.  We put all this on the application and they were both denied for failure to prove they would return to their country.  Not sure what else we could provide especially since the consular officer didn't even look at any of the documentation they took with them.  Any suggestions?  Would an immigration lawyer be of any help? 

Approved! I was at the store with my fiance this morning and realized I hadn't checked my mail yet. We were jumping up and down and people were looking at us like we were crazy. Such a blessing to get the news while I am down here. On to stage 2!

Congrats Josh from July filers! You gave us invaluable insight and peace of mind.
