Right, she basically had the same application every time and it was approved 2 out of 7 times. Her ties didn't change at all. The interviewers never gave her a reason why she was denied either. Makes me sad to think of so many other people struggling through immigration, but at least there are many success stories in the end too.
Thanks for the advice. I have experienced the scammers many times, though I'm surprised they let them hang around the embassy! Good tip about showing the passport, thanks! Hopefully everything will go smoothly; thanks everyone for the reassurance!
