REASONS OR TRV REFUSAL

[cheenvi]

Hi Bryana
We submitted her her bank balance certificate worth rs15, lakh
She is not employed she has property which we gave on rent ..it's on her name.
Her income tax returns
Property assessment documents
Her family details

She wants to visit for at least two months

 

[Bryanna]

Hi Divya,

Here are my suggestions:
For Finances: 6 months bank statements + ITRs for the last 2 years

There must be no recent large deposits in her bank account.... if there are then do explain the source of the income.... none of it should be borrowed.

Does she have FDs, shares, mutual funds, LIC, PPF? Foreign currency?


For Property:
Property ownership documents (Sale Agreement/Transfer Deed/Gift Deed) + assessment by a CA + proofs of current market rates (like prints of relevant MagicBrick pages or Times Property or Cushman & Wakefield reports.... that give indicative rates to back the CA assessment)

Also, latest property tax receipts (on her name)

For the rental property: Tenancy agreement + proofs of rental income credited to her bank account every month (cheque transfers, highlight this on the bank statement)


For Family Ties:
Proofs that your brother, his family and your grand mom live at the same address.

If your mom takes care of your brother's kids (if he has children) + your grand mom then mention this in the Cover Letter.... and your mom must return to these responsibilities


For Purpose of Visit:
She can draw up a rough itinerary for sightseeing + meet your friends, etc.

Try to keep her visit to 1-1.5 months.


Although it is not necessary, I suggest buying Overseas Travel Medical Insurance (where cancellation is possible for a small fee).... for the duration of her visit.... and submit proofs with the visa application.


Did you mention that you're getting married? Did you provide the wedding invitation/other proofs? What documents did you provide as host?

Does she have to return to India by a certain date for some event or reason? Does she have any other responsibilities/commitments to return to?

Has your mom traveled abroad earlier?


Another point:
Do be careful of the words you use in the invitation letter/her cover letter..... you should not write *at least 2 months*..... be definite because an indefinite/open ended plan could mean that she will overstay her visit



Cheers

Hi Bryan.
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply!
I submitted my employement letter
My bank statements worth 16000$
Invitation letter
My proof of relationship
Pr card

But I must specify that I got divorced this year in April and in cover letter my consultant insisted me to specify that I'm stressed due to divorce and want to meet my mom and her stay will be 30 to 45 days
Which was true also .but now next year I am getting married again in March 2016...I have never specified my remarrying thing to embassy as it has been finalised this month only.
No my mom has never travelled abroad.

I want her to attend my wedding which is in March .
Please suggest..
Yes she has FD mutual fund and LIC policies.

Hi Divya,

You're welcome

Do provide a copy of your passport + NOA/T4

But I must specify that I got divorced this year in April and in cover letter my consultant insisted me to specify that I'm stressed due to divorce and want to meet my mom and her stay will be 30 to 45 days. Which was true also

Sorry to hear about your divorce. It is a painful experience to go through.

IMO, on the contrary, you should NOT state *you want your mom to be with you because you were stressed about your divorce* which may indicate the possibility to overstay.... even though you were going through a difficult phase. Also, do not state open ended plans to return.

Your mom must show strong reasons to return (I have given some suggestions in my previous post).

Yes she has FD mutual fund and LIC policies.

Do submit copies of the mutual fund + LIC policies

For FDs: Copies of FDs + FD interest certificate(s) + letter from the bank stating the FD details/maturity amounts.... importantly, none of the FDs are mortgaged and can be liquidated, if required.


Please prepare an Explanation XX: My Strong Ties to India.... separate tables with point-wise details for.... Property and Rental Property (current market valuation, not the purchase amount) + Finances (bank balance + FDs + mutual funds + LIC + rental income) + Family Ties (immediate family who live with her + responsibilities for this) + Other assets (self-evaluation of jewelry + any other such assets)

All values/figures in both INR and CAD.


If you want your mom to attend your wedding in March then the earliest you can apply for her TRV is 6 months from the intended date of entry


Hope this helps

Thanks a lot Bryan..
One last suggestion.
Which will be best option
If my would be husband invites her or should I ?
Which will have strongest impact?

Also one host can invite how many people?

I must say Bryan ...ur efforts are much appreciated.. u r great support

 

[Bryanna]

Hi Divya,

The best option is for you to invite your mom.... your documents are good enough for this.

The host can invite a reasonable number of people.... each visitor must be able to prove that s/he has finances for the visit + strong reasons to return home


Cheers

@ sha457

Bryanna is asking you that when did u send your case specific inquiry like asking VO whats the status of your application. He is not asking you the submission date of your application
